When does a soil stack need replacing?

  • Running water heard inside the wall
  • Sewer smell in the bathroom
  • Rusty cast iron stack
  • Stains on the ceiling below

What the stack replacement includes

  • Floor-by-floor inspection

    We check the material, joints and condition of the stack on every floor.

  • Opening the service duct

    We open the access panel or partition exactly where the stack runs.

  • Acoustic PVC stack

    Sound-insulated pipe that reduces the noise of waste water inside the home.

  • Branch connections

    We connect each floor's kitchen and bathroom waste pipes to the new stack.

  • Brackets and floor crossings

    Fixed at every floor and sealed where the pipe passes through the slab.

  • Testing and access

    We test the discharge and close up with an accessible inspection panel.

From roof vent to drain: how we renew a stack

In areas such as El Raval, El Barri Gòtic and La Barceloneta, many stacks sit behind the tiling of kitchens and bathrooms that have already been renovated. We open only the strip next to the pipe, protect stairs and lift when carrying materials, and close with an access panel so nothing has to be broken out again.

In homes in areas such as La Dreta de l'Eixample, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni, we use acoustic PVC or multilayer sound-insulated pipe, with sound-isolating brackets at every floor slab. Discharge noise then stays out of bedrooms and living rooms, a common complaint with old stacks.

A site manager coordinates access to each floor with neighbours and the property manager and, when we finish, we clean ducts, stairs and communal areas. We also work on buildings nearby: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Esplugues de Llobregat and Sant Cugat del Vallès.

Frequently asked questions

01

Soil stack replacement in Barcelona: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Barcelona, in areas such as El Raval, El Barri Gòtic, La Barceloneta, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera, La Dreta de l'Eixample, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni, and also nearby: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Esplugues de Llobregat and Sant Cugat del Vallès. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

Is the stack mine or the building's?

The main stack is usually a communal element, while each home's branches are private. If the main stack needs replacing, we discuss it with the owners' association or the property manager.

03

Do you need to get into every flat?

To replace the whole stack, yes: the work goes floor by floor, through the service duct or partition in each home. We coordinate access with the neighbours and give notice in advance.

04

Why acoustic PVC?

It reduces the noise of waste water heard through the wall, which is common with standard PVC or old cast iron stacks.
