Pipe Repairs and Installations in Nairobi, Kenya
By BestCare Facilities Management
The integrity of your property’s piping system directly impacts water supply reliability, waste disposal efficiency, and structural safety. Professional pipe repairs and installations are crucial investments that prevent water damage, reduce utility costs, and ensure long-term system reliability. BestCare Facilities Management specializes in comprehensive pipe repairs and installations tailored to Nairobi’s unique conditions.
Nairobi’s Piping Challenges
Nairobi’s water contains minerals that accelerate pipe corrosion, while inconsistent water pressure stresses joints and connections. Additionally, soil movements, tree root intrusion, and aging infrastructure contribute to frequent pipe failures. Professional pipe repairs and installations address these challenges using materials and techniques suited to local conditions.
Types of Pipes We Work With
Our pipe repairs and installations services cover all piping materials commonly used in Nairobi properties.
PVC Pipes
Polyvinyl chloride pipes resist corrosion, handle moderate pressure well, and offer affordability. We use PVC for cold water supply, drainage, and irrigation systems. Our pipe repairs and installations using PVC ensure leak-free connections and proper support.
PPR Pipes
Polypropylene random copolymer pipes withstand high temperatures and pressure, making them ideal for hot water systems. Our pipe repairs and installations with PPR utilize heat fusion welding that creates seamless, permanent joints.
Copper Pipes
Copper offers durability and antimicrobial properties, though at higher cost. We install copper piping for premium applications where longevity and water quality are priorities. Our pipe repairs and installations maintain copper systems to maximize their lifespan.
Galvanized Steel Pipes
While less common in new installations, many older Nairobi properties still have galvanized steel pipes. We specialize in repairs and gradual replacement of these aging systems with modern alternatives.
HDPE Pipes
High-density polyethylene pipes excel in underground applications, resisting corrosion and root penetration. Our pipe repairs and installations using HDPE are perfect for water mains and sewer lines.
Comprehensive Pipe Services
Leak Detection and Repair
Using acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, and pressure testing, we locate leaks without unnecessary excavation. Our pipe repairs and installations team then implements targeted repairs using couplings, clamps, or section replacements.
Pipe Replacement Projects
When repairs become uneconomical, complete replacement is necessary. We handle partial and whole-house repiping, minimizing disruption while upgrading your system to modern standards.
New Installation Services
From ground-up construction to additions and renovations, our pipe repairs and installations services include design, material selection, installation, and testing of complete piping systems.
Pipe Relocation
Renovations often require moving pipes. We professionally relocate plumbing lines while maintaining code compliance and system integrity.
Pressure Testing
After any pipe repairs and installations, we conduct thorough pressure testing to verify leak-free operation and proper system function before concealing pipes behind walls or floors.

Material Selection Guidance
Choosing appropriate pipe materials impacts system longevity and performance. Our experts recommend materials based on application (hot/cold water, drainage), budget, building type, and water quality. We prioritize durability and value in all pipe repairs and installations.
Code Compliance
All our pipe repairs and installations meet Kenyan building codes and international plumbing standards. We obtain necessary approvals and provide documentation for insurance and property records.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
Modern pipe repairs and installations often avoid extensive excavation. We use trenchless technologies, directional drilling, and pipe bursting methods that reduce property disruption, restoration costs, and project timelines.
Water Conservation Integration
During pipe repairs and installations, we incorporate water-saving technologies such as low-flow fixtures, pressure regulators, and leak detection systems that reduce consumption and utility costs.
