Water pipes in the Eixample: the materials we find
In older buildings in areas such as La Dreta de l'Eixample and L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample we still find lead sections in the rising main and courtyards, and joints from different decades within a single flat. We replace from the meter bank and, where the riser crosses shared areas, coordinate with the residents' community.
In flats in areas such as La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni we choose the route that means the least disruption: through the hallway false ceiling, under the floor if it is being replaced, or in short chases. Every pipe is kept apart from the electrics.
A site manager coordinates plumbers and builders so walls are opened and closed in order, and at the end we remove rubble and old pipe. We also work nearby: Gràcia, Sant Martí and Ciutat Vella.

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.
