Replacing the pipes in Ciutat Vella, section by section
In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval galvanised iron is the norm, and over the years it closes up inside with rust and scale. That is why pressure drops when two taps run. We replace all of it, from the inlet valve to every outlet.
Before closing any wall in homes in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera we pressurise the system and hold it long enough to reveal any loss. Then we fill the chases and check the flow at every tap.
At the visit we open access panels, look at the main stopcock and meter and explain which sections need replacing; then you receive a detailed written quote. We also replace pipes in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

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.
02Why replace lead pipes?
Lead can leach into drinking water and is no longer installed today. It is also usually old pipework, with joints that fail easily.
03Do all the walls have to be opened up?
Not always. Depending on the home, we run the pipe through the false ceiling, the floor or short chases. On the visit we explain the route that involves the least building work.
04Is the section up to the meter replaced too?
Yes, the riser from the meter to your home can also be replaced. If it runs through communal areas, we coordinate with the owners' association.
