When does a soil stack need replacing?

  • Running water heard inside the wall
  • Sewer smell in the bathroom
  • Rusty cast iron stack
  • Stains on the ceiling below

What the stack replacement includes

  • Floor-by-floor inspection

    We check the material, joints and condition of the stack on every floor.

  • Opening the service duct

    We open the access panel or partition exactly where the stack runs.

  • Acoustic PVC stack

    Sound-insulated pipe that reduces the noise of waste water inside the home.

  • Branch connections

    We connect each floor's kitchen and bathroom waste pipes to the new stack.

  • Brackets and floor crossings

    Fixed at every floor and sealed where the pipe passes through the slab.

  • Testing and access

    We test the discharge and close up with an accessible inspection panel.

How we replace a soil stack in Ciutat Vella

In 1960s and 70s buildings in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, replacing the main stack means entering every flat. We prepare the quote for the owners' meeting, agree an access schedule with the property manager and give each neighbour advance notice.

When connecting each home's waste in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera, we check the falls and diameters of kitchen and bathroom branches. If a branch is poorly connected we correct it there and then, as that is where blockages usually start.

We inspect the stack in the building or home and give you a detailed written quote, ready to present to the owners' association. We also replace soil stacks in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions

01

Soil stack replacement in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

Is the stack mine or the building's?

The main stack is usually a communal element, while each home's branches are private. If the main stack needs replacing, we discuss it with the owners' association or the property manager.

03

Do you need to get into every flat?

To replace the whole stack, yes: the work goes floor by floor, through the service duct or partition in each home. We coordinate access with the neighbours and give notice in advance.

04

Why acoustic PVC?

It reduces the noise of waste water heard through the wall, which is common with standard PVC or old cast iron stacks.
