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.

Drainage in Olot: what lies under the floor

In 1960s to 80s flats the original system is often still there: drum trap, lead or iron waste pipes and joints that already leak. We replace it all in bathroom and kitchen, up to the building's stack, before the new floor goes down (plentiful in Vila Vella and Eixample Malagrida).

The connection to the stack is the delicate part: we find cast iron, fibre cement or old PVC, and use the right adaptor for each. If the system has no venting, we add an air admittance valve.

We visit the home, locate the stack and pipe routes and give you a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates plumbing, floor and tiling. We also renew drainage in nearby areas: Sant Joan les Fonts, Santa Pau and La Vall d'en Bas.

Frequently asked questions

01

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

We do this work in Olot, in areas such as Vila Vella, Eixample Malagrida, Sant Miquel, Bonavista, Pla de Dalt, Sant Roc, Sant Cristòfol les Fonts and Batet de la Serra, and also nearby: Sant Joan les Fonts, Santa Pau and La Vall d'en Bas. 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.
