“As an expat there is a learning curve to the Guatemalan lifestyle, this includes the unique plumbing challenges that living in Antigua offers.

Thankfully we were recommended to call Alex when we encountered a plumbing issue. Alex came out promptly to resolve the issue.

While there he took the time to explain everything in detail (in layman’s terms so I could understand what was going on). Alex was highly knowledgeable and very professional. It’s a comfort to know there is a honest and reliable plumber that speaks perfect English here in Antigua. Highly recommend Alex!”

    Water Heaters

    Is your conventional water heater leaking, taking too long to heat, or leaving you with lukewarm showers?

    We offer new installation of conventional & tankless water heaters to fit your home & budget.

    Proper Venting

    Tired of dealing with sewer smells throughout your home?

    Leaky Pipes

    Do you have water pooling underneath your sink?

    Moisture can warp wood and cause long-term damage.

    Often, the source is a worn p-trap or valve.

Rest easy knowing your pipes are in good hands with Antigua Plumbing.

I specialize in residential plumbing repairs, installations, upgrades, and new construction plumbing. Whether you need a new tankless water heater installed, a leaky faucet repaired, or plumbing design guidance on your new home build- I can help!

I highly recommend Mr. Alex for all your plumbing needs. A few weeks ago two of my bathrooms developed a water leak almost at the same time 🤦🏻‍♂ I started looking for a plumber and someone recommended Mr. Alex.

I scheduled an appointment with Alex and I could not be happier to have found him. He showed up on time, repaired my bathrooms in a timely manner, cleaned the areas even after I told him he didn’t have to do it. He’s very friendly, professional and really good at what he does and his prices are very reasonable. I do not hesitate to recommend Alex for all your plumbing needs.”

Efficient and functional plumbing directly affects our health and isn’t something that should be rigged or guessed at.

We have used Antigua Plumbing several times in the construction and maintenance of our condo in Antigua, including replacement and rewiring of the main water heater, installation of a secondary on-demand water heater for the laundry room, and installation of a water main filtering unit.

In every case, Alex has responded quickly throughout the job, has been professional and knowledgeable, and has persisted until the issue has been resolved completely to our satisfaction.”

Hi! I’m Alex.

Having lived in Antigua for a decade, I’ve become very familiar with the plumbing challenges this city faces. Much of the infrastructure is tied to its colonial roots, which means systems are often outdated and inefficient. Add to that the difficulty of finding durable, high-quality parts, and you quickly see why plumbing here can be complicated.

Even so, I consider it a privilege to help bring modern plumbing into a place as beautiful as this. Antigua is our home, and I’m grateful for the chance to contribute to its growth and care through my work.

Plumbing, to me, is more than just a way to make a living—it’s a craft I’ve dedicated myself to, and one I take pride in every single day.
