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.

Internal drainage renewal in Igualada: how we plan it

In older houses in areas such as Centre, El Rec and Sant Agustí waste pipes have been added piece by piece over decades, in mixed materials and along routes that are hard to follow. We lay out a new, orderly system with steady falls and access points where they are needed.

Before opening the floor, in homes in areas such as Fàtima, Montserrat and Set Camins we mark where each fixture goes and measure the distance to the stack. From that we work out falls and diameters: the WC on its larger pipe, and basin, bidet and shower into a shared branch.

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: Òdena, Vilanova del Camí and Santa Margarida de Montbui.

Frequently asked questions

01

Internal drainage renewal in Igualada: which areas do you cover?

We work in Igualada in areas such as Centre, El Rec, Sant Agustí, Fàtima, Montserrat, Set Camins, Sant Crist and Pla de la Massa, and also nearby: Òdena, Vilanova del Camí and Santa Margarida de Montbui.

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.
