When should the drainage be renewed?

  • Lead drum trap under the floor
  • Smells that return after cleaning
  • Several fixtures blocking at once
  • Moving the toilet or shower

What the drainage renewal includes

  • Planning the layout

    We mark fixtures, pipe runs and falls before opening the floor.

  • Drum trap removed

    We take out the lead drum trap and old pipes from under the floor.

  • New PVC system

    Branch pipes sized and laid to the fall required by CTE DB HS 5.

  • A trap for every fixture

    Basin, shower, bidet and sink each with its own odour seal.

  • Stack or manhole connection

    A watertight joint to the building's soil stack or the house's manhole.

  • Water test

    We run water through every fixture and check the joints before closing up.

What changes with a new waste system

In older houses waste pipes have been added piece by piece over decades, in mixed materials and along routes that are hard to follow. We lay out a new, orderly system with steady falls and access points where they are needed (especially in Centre and Can Magarola).

The connection to the stack is the delicate part: we find cast iron, fibre cement or old PVC, and use the right adaptor for each. If the system has no venting, we add an air admittance valve.

We open up only what is necessary, take out the lead and rubble with the home protected, and leave the system tested and clean, ready for flooring. We renew waste systems nearby as well: El Masnou, Teià and Tiana.

Frequently asked questions

01

Internal drainage renewal in Alella: which areas do you cover?

We work in Alella in areas such as Centre, Can Magarola, Alella Parc, Can Sorts, Nova Alella and El Solell, and also nearby: El Masnou, Teià and Tiana.

02

What is a drum trap and why remove it?

It is a box, usually made of lead, under the bathroom floor that collects several waste pipes. It blocks and ends up giving off smells; today it is replaced by a trap on each fixture.

03

Can I move the toilet or shower?

Yes, as long as there is enough fall to the soil stack. On the visit we measure the route and tell you which layout will work.

04

How is this different from replacing drains?

Replacing a drain covers one specific fixture. Renewing the drainage replaces the whole internal system, from every fixture to the stack or manhole.
