About this service
External pipeline work — runs that live outside the building envelope. Boundary-wall to overhead-tank rising mains, garden taps, terrace washing-area supply, and exterior drain lines. We use UV-stable CPVC or galvanised GI as the situation demands, lag any exposed metal against winter cold, and clip pipe runs at the right intervals so they do not sag in Jaipur summer heat. Buried external lines go in a sand bed below frost line and above any sewer line by at least 300 mm.
Common symptoms we see
- Visible drip from terrace or balcony pipework
- Garden tap not flowing or leaking at the wall
- New external rising main needed for an overhead tank
- Exposed metal pipe rusted and weeping
How we do it
- 1Survey the route — sun exposure, supports, crossings
- 2Trench or surface-clip per layout
- 3Joint and pressure-test before any backfill
- 4Lag, paint or sleeve exposed sections against UV and heat
Materials we use
UV-stable CPVC, galvanised GI for high-exposure, pipe lagging, stainless clamps, anti-rust paint.
Typical duration
4–8 hours; longer for trenched buried runs.
Safety & quality
Trenched runs are barricaded until backfill — we don’t leave open trenches overnight in shared spaces.
Frequently asked questions
Can CPVC sit in direct sun on the terrace?
Only the UV-stabilised grade or painted CPVC. Standard CPVC degrades in 12–18 months of direct Jaipur sun.
How deep should a buried external line be?
At least 450 mm to the top of the pipe in soil; deeper under driveways. We trench accordingly.
My garden tap freezes in winter — fix?
Lag it, or fit a stop-cock inside the wall so the external section can be drained.
