Plumber in Stari Grad
Plumber for Stari Grad, for flats in buildings raised before the war, where the installation is as old as the building itself.
A plumber in Stari Grad works in flats in Dorcol, Skadarlija and around Kosancicev venac and Obilicev venac, from replacing a cistern or a tap to new pipework through a whole flat. For a larger job the measurements are taken on the first visit and the material is prepared in advance, because the entrance can rarely be reached by car.
In the old core flats have been split and joined for decades, so the water rarely runs the way the plan shows. The pipes are as a rule built into the wall, and the meter and the main valve are reached in the shared hallway, before you enter the flat.
When you call, say whether you have shut the water off in the flat and whether the main valve in the building hallway is accessible or in a locked cabinet. To replace a basin or a bath, measure the existing piece and the distance of the drain from the wall, and the new one is chosen to those measurements.
What most often goes wrong in Stari Grad
- The meter and the main valve in the building hallway, which are checked first.
- A leak through the slab, first seen as a stain on the ceiling of the flat below.
- Sanitary ware in a bathroom left at its original size, where every new piece has to fit the opening that is already there.
- Connecting a washing machine where no drain was ever provided for.
- A high level cistern with a long flush pipe, still found in the bathrooms of old buildings, when it leaks at the joint or flushes weakly.
- Replacing part of the old drain in a flat with new PVC pipe, up to the joint with the building's stack.
