What we check before cutting off a home's water
In older buildings in areas such as Sant Andreu and La Trinitat Vella 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.
Before closing any wall in homes in areas such as La Sagrera, Navas and El Congrés i els Indians 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.
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: Nou Barris, Horta-Guinardó and Sant Martí.

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.
