When should the drainage be renewed?

  • Lead drum trap under the floor
  • Smells that return after cleaning
  • Several fixtures blocking at once
  • Moving the toilet or shower

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 El Clot and El Camp de l'Arpa del Clot 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.

In areas such as El Poblenou, El Parc i la Llacuna del Poblenou and La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou we remove the drum trap and lead and fit PVC waste pipe with solvent-welded joints and clips that hold it without vibration. Every fixture gets its own trap, so one blockage no longer affects the whole bathroom.

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: Ciutat Vella, Eixample and Sant Andreu.

Frequently asked questions

01

Internal drainage renewal in Sant Martí: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Sant Martí, in areas such as El Clot, El Camp de l'Arpa del Clot, El Poblenou, El Parc i la Llacuna del Poblenou, La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou, Diagonal Mar i el Front Marítim del Poblenou, Provençals del Poblenou and Sant Martí de Provençals, and also nearby: Ciutat Vella, Eixample and Sant Andreu. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

What 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.

03

Can 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.

04

How 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.
