👇 Before you report the issue, follow these steps to troubleshoot and help us assist you better!

🚱 No Water at All?

1️⃣ Check the LifeX App 📱

  • We announce any planned water cuts as soon as we get updates from our landlords. Check the app for the latest info! 📲

2️⃣ Is It the Whole Apartment or Just Certain Rooms? 🏠

  • If only certain rooms are affected, it might be an internal plumbing issue. If the whole apartment has no water, continue troubleshooting below!

💧 SWM: Munich's Water Supplier

SWM (Stadtwerke München) supplies water to your apartment. Here’s how to check for maintenance or outages:

  • Visit SWM's website to see current maintenance work in the city.

  • Type in your home address in the search bar to check if your apartment is in an affected area.

  • If your apartment is affected, click on the triangle sign for updates on when the maintenance will be completed.

  • ⚠️ Unexpected Water Outage?
    If there’s no announcement on SWM’s map, the issue might be a blown water pipe or another urgent problem. In this case:

    • Contact SWM directly at:
      📞 Service Hotline: 0800 796 888 000

    ❗ No Water Cut Announced by SWM? It Might Be a Building Issue!

    If SWM’s website shows no planned maintenance, the issue could be inside your building (e.g., a broken water pipe).

    🛠 What You Can Do:

    • Talk to your neighbours – If multiple apartments are affected, someone might have already reported it.

    • Report it to LifeX via the app – We will take over and assist you!

  • Since this could be a wider emergency, your neighbours may have already reached out before we hear about it.


    🔥 No Hot Water? Here’s How to Fix It!

    If your water is running but not hot, follow these steps:

    🛠️ 1. Check If Hot Water Works in Other Rooms

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

    ⏳ 2. Give It Some Time!

    • Sometimes, the system needs a few minutes to reset after maintenance or an outage.
