What we check before cutting off a home's water
In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as La Vila de Gràcia and El Camp d'en Grassot i Gràcia Nova 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.
So you are not without water longer than needed, in houses in areas such as La Salut, El Coll and Vallcarca i els Penitents we work in sections and leave the kitchen and one bathroom running at the end of each day. The final connection needs only a brief shut-off.
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: Eixample, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and Horta-Guinardó.

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.
