What the drainage renewal includes
-
Planning the layout
We mark fixtures, pipe runs and falls before opening the floor.
-
Drum trap removed
We take out the lead drum trap and old pipes from under the floor.
-
New PVC system
Branch pipes sized and laid to the fall required by CTE DB HS 5.
-
A trap for every fixture
Basin, shower, bidet and sink each with its own odour seal.
-
Stack or manhole connection
A watertight joint to the building's soil stack or the house's manhole.
-
Water test
We run water through every fixture and check the joints before closing up.
What changes with a new waste system
In older buildings in areas such as Sant Andreu and La Trinitat Vella we often find a lead drum trap under the bathroom and lead pipes running to a fibre-cement or cast-iron stack in the light well. We renew the flat's system up to the connection and, if the shared stack is damaged, raise it with the residents' association.
Before closing up, in homes in areas such as La Sagrera, Navas and El Congrés i els Indians we run water through every fixture and check all the joints. Where pipes pass through a ceiling void above a neighbour, we wrap them in acoustic insulation so the water cannot be heard.
We open up only what is necessary, take out the lead and rubble with the home protected, and leave the system tested and clean, ready for flooring. We renew waste systems nearby as well: Nou Barris, Horta-Guinardó and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions
01Internal drainage renewal in Sant Andreu: which areas do you cover?
We work in Sant Andreu in areas such as Sant Andreu, La Trinitat Vella, La Sagrera, Navas, El Congrés i els Indians, El Bon Pastor and Baró de Viver, and also nearby: Nou Barris, Horta-Guinardó and Sant Martí.
02What is a drum trap and why remove it?
It is a box, usually made of lead, under the bathroom floor that collects several waste pipes. It blocks and ends up giving off smells; today it is replaced by a trap on each fixture.
03Can I move the toilet or shower?
Yes, as long as there is enough fall to the soil stack. On the visit we measure the route and tell you which layout will work.
04How is this different from replacing drains?
Replacing a drain covers one specific fixture. Renewing the drainage replaces the whole internal system, from every fixture to the stack or manhole.
