Has your water meter's validity expired? Is your building manager asking for a new certificate? We replace or verify water meters fast, with all the paperwork your building manager needs
Santehniķis Rīgā replaces and verifies water meters in apartments and houses across Riga, issuing a ready certificate for your building manager. Replacement starts from €25, with a 12-month warranty on all work.
Many residents don't realise that water meters — just like electricity meters — have a set validity (verification) period, printed on the meter body or its seal. Once that date passes, the meter is no longer legally valid for accurate billing, even if it appears to keep working normally.
We install a new meter with a fresh validity period covering several years. The fastest and usually most cost-effective solution if your meter is already old or nearing expiry.
If the meter is relatively new and in good condition, it can be sent for metrological verification at an accredited laboratory, confirming accuracy without a full replacement.
⚠️ Important: If the validity has already expired, your building manager or the water utility may stop accepting your readings and switch to billing by average consumption or standard rate — usually more expensive. Check the date on your meter today.

An expired meter validity date isn't just a formality. If your building manager or the water utility notices the meter has expired, they can stop accepting your submitted readings and start billing on average consumption or a standard rate — which is almost always more expensive than your real usage. On top of that, you can expect reminders and correspondence from the building manager, which costs you time and stress. Replacing or verifying a meter is a relatively simple, standardised job that usually takes 20-30 minutes. Our plumber checks the validity date, recommends the best option, and after the work issues a certificate ready to submit to your building manager. 12-month warranty on all work.

"Our building manager said the meter verification had expired and started billing us on average consumption. The plumber replaced both meters in 20 minutes and gave me a certificate I sent straight to the manager."
"I had no idea meters even had a validity date until I spotted the sticker. Everything was explained clearly and the new sealed meters were installed the same day."
"I wanted to know whether it's cheaper to verify the old meter or install a new one. The plumber honestly explained both options without pushing the more expensive one. Really appreciated the honesty."
