Water pipes in Horta-Guinardó: the materials we find
In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Baix Guinardó, El Guinardó and Can Baró 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.
In homes in areas such as El Carmel and La Teixonera we fit multilayer pipe with press fittings, which neither rusts nor builds up scale. Hot-water runs are lagged so the water reaches the tap sooner and loses less heat on the way.
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, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.

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.

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.
