How emergency plumbing works proceed in Switzerland
The sanitary installer begins with a full condition survey: inspection of pipework (potentially by camera), water pressure check, assessment of fittings and watertightness. The quote distinguishes like-for-like replacement from improvement works. For a full bathroom renovation (15–20 m²), allow 5 to 10 working days. Coordination with the tiler and electrician must be planned in advance. At the end of the works, the tradesperson carries out documented pressure and watertightness tests. Sanitary equipment is warranted under CO art. 371, with a minimum of 2 years for apparent defects.
Regulations and standards in Switzerland
Sanitary installations in Switzerland are governed by the standards of the Swiss Gas and Water Industry Association (SVGW/SSIGE) and SIA 385/1 for domestic hot water production. Any work on the potable water supply must be carried out by a sanitary installer holding a federal certificate of competency (CFC) and registered with the cantonal installer registry. Water heaters and storage tanks must comply with minimum anti-legionella temperatures (60°C). In older buildings, lead testing is recommended before working on pipework. Municipalities often require installation plans for major renovations.
Budget and tax deductions
Plumbing remediation works (replacement of ageing pipework, leak repairs, like-for-like sanitary fixture replacement) are tax-deductible as maintenance costs. The installation of water-saving equipment (low-flow taps, dual-flush WC) may qualify for municipal subsidies in some French-speaking cities (Lausanne, Geneva). Works related to rainwater harvesting or solar domestic hot water heating qualify for the Buildings Programme. Prepare your subsidy application before work starts and keep all invoices for your tax return.
