⚠️ Unexpected Water Outage?

If there is no reported interruption:

  • Talk to your neighbours – Check whether other apartments are affected too.

  • Contact LifeX via the app – If the whole apartment or building is affected, let us know so we can investigate.

  • If you notice a burst pipe or water leaking inside your apartment, report it to LifeX immediately. If you can safely identify the main stop valve, turn off the water to prevent further damage.

🔥 No Hot Water? Here's What to Check!

If cold water is running but the water is not getting hot, follow these steps:

🛠️ 1. Check If Hot Water Works in Other Rooms

  • Try multiple taps (kitchen, bathroom and shower) to see whether the issue is isolated.

  • If only one tap is affected, the problem may be related to that tap or its installation.

⏳ 2. Give It Some Time

  • If there has recently been maintenance or an interruption, wait a few minutes and try again.

🏢 3. Check Whether Other Apartments Are Affected

  • Ask your neighbours whether they also have no hot water.

  • If several apartments are affected, the issue may be related to the building's hot-water system.

Hot water is managed through the property's internal installation or heating system. If cold water works but hot water does not, contact LifeX so we can investigate the issue with the building management.
