Summer · April – June
April to June is when Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai apartment complexes announce water-supply cuts to a few hours a day. If your motor does not prime, your ball-cock is stuck, or your storage tank overflows and empties overnight — you are the person in the flat without water at 8 pm.
A ₹300 plumber visit in March catches all of this. In peak May, the same visit is ₹500 (extra call-out fee) and the plumber cannot always come the same day.
Solve24 plumbers across cities quote in a consistent range. Metros are at the higher end, Tier-2 cities lower.

| Tap / faucet replacement | 150 – 400 | Higher if body replaced, not washer |
| Motor priming + air release | 200 – 500 | Common summer fix |
| Ball-cock replacement (tank) | 150 – 400 | Stops overflow |
| Leak detection + repair (simple) | 200 – 600 | Walls/ceilings extra |
| Pipe fitting (new line, per run) | 400 – 1,200 | Material separate |

Usually because air has entered the pipe (needs priming), the foot-valve is faulty, or the impeller is worn. A plumber fixes it in one visit at ₹200–₹500 for priming or up to ₹2,500 for motor repair.
A slow drip wastes 20–40 litres a day. During a 2-hour daily supply that can be 2–3% of the total water your tank stores. Fix takes 10 minutes and costs ₹150–₹400.
