Plumber - Dubai

[Asterix]

Just got home after a night out to find water leaking through the ceiling in the main bedroom en-suite.

A quick dismantle of the panels surrounding the leaking AC unit shows that the condensate tray is overflowing. Had a look at where the drain piping goes (as it is obviously blocked) but it disappears into a wall never to be seen again.

Anyone know of a good plumber?

My landlord, while a lovely bloke, might not be able to sort stuff out tomorrow.

Hitches and Glitches - persuaded my landlord to pay for annual service, which includes pest control, servicing AC, etc as well as fixing things which go wrong

Oily may be better to advise, but I know he used a Company called Jim Will Fix It (seriously, no cigar), however, it was not for plumbing ralted matters but electrical, but he saiid they were pretty decent.

it may not be the pipe that is blocked, it might be the condensate pump that has packed up! you could find the end where the pipe attaches to the unit disconnect it and blow down it(might work)

Happened to all of the central units in my old place, destroyed all the false ceilings.

You need A/C maintenance, not a plumber. The condenser outlet pipe is blocked with goo and dust. One of ours went in the Summer and it was like we had a tap running up there; an amazing amount of water.

In Barsha you can't go wrong with Jim'll Fix It. Run by a decent British chap and uses very good Philipino guys. More expensive than the local Indian outfits but, YGWYPF.

Cheers chaps - Good ol' PH.

Will try this Jim fella if need be.

Edit - just called - they sound fab! Completely un-Dubai.

Can't make it until Monday but it's not critical so not bothered.
