Engineering networks in the basement of MKD: device and typical malfunctions, problems and solutions. Starting the heating system

Air locks common cause violations of the heating system. They can appear in central heating systems and individual. Cold risers or heating radiators, noise in pipes are all caused by air in the heating system. The reasons for the appearance and how to remove air from the heating system will be discussed in this material.

Reasons for airing the system

Air in the heating system is a fairly common occurrence at the beginning of the heating season. Even in a well-designed and properly installed system, air pockets can occur. There can be several reasons for the appearance of air in the heating system.

• When repairing the heating system, it is necessary to drain the water, which they do. At this point, the system is filled with air. At the end of the repair, the systems are filled again, but the air remains in it.
• When replacing heating appliances, as well as during repairs, part of the water is drained. This allows air to enter the system.
• After repairing or replacing radiators, it is necessary to start the heating system correctly and remove all air. This work is lengthy. Often in a hurry and break the technology. After starting, due to the remaining air, the operation of the heating system is disrupted.
• Often the cause of the appearance of air is aluminum radiators heating. This type of radiator is prone to gas formation. The gases formed during the corrosion of the radiator create an air lock.
• Corrosion of heating system pipes is an inevitable process. During corrosion, various gases are released into the coolant, which can cause air locks.
• AT cold water contained a large number of air, which, when heated, is released and forms air pockets.
• The reason for airing the heating system may be improperly functioning automatic air vent valves. Contaminated coolant can cause clogging of valves. As a result, their work will be disrupted and air will not be able to leave the system.

Determination of places of formation of an air lock

An important part of removing air from the system is the correct determination of the location of the formation of an air lock. Depending on the location of the air, apply different ways its removal.

In a heating system of any type, air locks can form in two places: in pipes and radiators. In pipes, an air lock is formed, as a rule, in the extreme risers, in which the difference in supply and return pressure is minimal. Radiators collect air in upper corner located opposite the supply connection.

The first thing to start with is to make sure that all taps on the risers and heating radiators are open.

If there is a jumper (bypass) on the riser next to the heating radiator connecting the supply and return lines bypassing the radiator, then we first check it. If it is hot and the radiator is cold, then there is an airlock in the radiator. If it's cold, it means that the entire riser is not working.

Fig.1.

If there is no jumper, then we compare the supply and return temperatures. If both pipes have the same temperature, then the problem may be in both the riser and the radiator. In this case, we first try to bleed the air from the radiator. If the supply is warmer than the return, then there is an air lock in the radiator. Because of it, the entire riser does not work.

Removing an air lock from a heating radiator

Heating radiators are more prone to airing than other elements of the system. In most cases, it is enough to bleed the air from the radiator, and the heating system starts to function properly.

There are two ways to remove air from the radiator:

• through an air vent or valve;
• restart the heating system.

If the heating radiator is equipped with a valve (Mayevsky tap), then you can remove air from the radiator with your own hands. All modern radiators are equipped with an air vent or valve. The air vent is installed on the upper radiator cap on the opposite side of the supply pipe.

Fig.2.

To bleed the air, you need a special key, sold with the valve, to open the nipple. If there was air in the radiator, you will hear a hiss. Before opening the valve, place a container under it to receive water. There will not be much water, so a liter jar will suffice.

As the hissing ends, this indicates that the air has escaped. Next, you should wait for the appearance of water from the nipple. As soon as the water pressure from the nipple becomes constant, it can be closed. There is no more air in the radiator.

If there is no air vent, then the heating system must be restarted. In the case of an urban central heating system, restarting it yourself is difficult and specialists should be called. You can restart the individual heating system with your own hands.

Starting / restarting the heating system

Starting the heating system is a simple, but long and responsible process. Its main task is to fill the system and simultaneously remove all air from it. The order of starting the system is as follows.

Start with preparatory work. Every heating system has an air vent. Manual or automatic. It is located at the highest point of the system, and should be in good condition. In the case of a manual air vent, it is open.

Next, close the supply pipe. The system is filled through the return line. Under the action of water, the air tends to rise to the highest point of the system, where the air vent is located. If you do not rush, then all the air will come out the first time.

If we are talking about restarting the system, then they do exactly the same. Shut off the supply, open the air vent and open the return. Water, rising up through the pipes, squeezes air out of the system through the air vent. You can determine whether there is air left or all of it has come out by the uniformity of the pressure of water from the air vent. If the pressure is uniform, then the air is removed. The air vent can be closed and the system turned on for circulation.

Typically, a manual air vent is a faucet. Water will also flow out through this faucet along with air. For city system central system heating loss of several hundred liters of water is not a problem. For a private house where antifreeze is used instead of water, this is unacceptable. Therefore, in individual system Heating systems are equipped with automatic air vents. They allow air to pass through, but not antifreeze.

How to prevent airing the system?

As mentioned earlier, airing the system is inevitable. The only way to prevent air from entering the system is to properly start it up. However, the remaining factors described at the beginning of the article are enough for air jams to appear in the system. Therefore, it is more expedient to give some advice on how to facilitate the elimination of air congestion.

An air vent must be provided on each heating radiator. The same applies to water heated floors.

On each riser, it is necessary to provide taps to disconnect it from the system.

At the very top and bottom of the riser, taps with taps should be installed. This will allow you to drain the riser or release air from it without disturbing the operation of the entire system.

It is necessary to choose pipes and heating radiators that are not prone to gas formation. Gas appears as a result of metal corrosion processes. If there is no corrosion, then gas formation will be minimized, and, consequently, airing.

This article will consider options for various manipulations with the heating riser. The issues of disconnecting and starting the riser, options for connecting and distributing pipes and the features of the repair, as well as the scheme of the heating riser will be covered.

Options for wiring a riser heating system

A riser is a vertical pipe that makes it possible to combine part of the heating devices into one system. AT different types heating systems exist various options combination of risers: in pairs or independently. Both cases require detailed consideration.

Bottom wiring

This scheme is a classic two-pipe wiring. In the basement there is a supply and return, and heating appliances connected to the jumper, which is located between these circuits. The jumper in this case are two risers, which are interconnected in the very top point heating systems. Heating elements placed in the attic must be insulated, otherwise the very first frost can provoke stagnation of hardened liquid or a pipeline break. This problem can be solved using blowtorch, and in worst case heating pipes will need to be welded.

Theoretically, such a connection requires a good balance of risers so that risers located at a distance can work as efficiently as those located nearby. In practice, such balancing is not performed, but the heating functions stably. This is due to the fact that the diameter of the heating risers is different.

Filling length from one elevator node should be minimal in order to ensure a minimum temperature difference in the near and far risers. In the case of a pair installation of risers, one of them can run idle, but heaters must be connected to both.

Top wiring

In the case of top filling, the heating system will have a different look. The wiring will be installed in the attic and insulated, and the return circuit will go through the basement. The risers in this case are independent jumpers between the heating circuits. To cut off spills, the risers are equipped with two valves: upper and lower.

How to shut off the heating riser and start it after repair

To repair risers, you must first reset the system, and after completion repair work restart is performed. The implementation of these operations must occur according to a certain algorithm.

bottom filling

First you need to find the appropriate valves. You can find them by looking at flights of stairs and layout of heaters. If necessary, you can go up to the top floor and see how the jumper is located. To reset the risers, it is necessary to unscrew the plugs or open the relief valves.

Having completed these works, it is possible to close the discharges and very slowly fill the system with water. The slowness of this process is due to the fact that when the system is quickly filled, water hammer can occur. If there are screw valves, the water must move in the direction indicated by the arrow located on the body - otherwise the valve may break, after which the heating system throughout the house will have to be reset.

Then you can open the valve completely and bleed the air pressure on top floor. The Mayevsky crane is usually located in the radiator cap or at the top of the jumper. Resetting and starting will be greatly simplified if all valves installed in the system are ball valves.

Top filling

In this case, starting the heating is much easier, but it will take much more time to reset the system. more action. First, the attic riser is blocked, and after it - installed in basement. Now you can open the reset. To prevent possible mistake when turning off the system in the attic, it is worth starting from the number of tie-ins into the bottling from the located landmark.

Having finished the work, you can close the discharge and fill the riser very slowly. Required in without fail respect the direction of water flow. Both valves can now be opened. There is no need to bleed air: it will move into the attic expansion tank.

Corrugated stainless steel pipe can be used for repair. She possesses less strength than galvanized steel, but vastly superior in ease of installation. Good and easy installation is ensured by good flexibility and the presence of fitting connections. Most of produced pipes can withstand a pressure of at least 15 atmospheres.

The use of plastic or metal-polymer pipes is not recommended. One of the main reasons is the increased risk of water hammer due to improper operation of valves or malfunctions. Read also: "".

Useful little things

Exist various nuances and the subtleties that arise during the repair work. The vertical pipe to which the heaters are connected and the steam idle pipe are in close proximity, so they should be changed at the same time. Having replaced the heating risers, it is desirable to create a gap between them, which will allow you to disassemble the connection on one riser without removing the second one.

It is advisable to attach the risers to the wall so that they do not stagger and do not leak, since this significantly reduces the service life of the heating risers. Often enough two fasteners in the area between the floors. The steel pipe can be fixed with galvanized clamps equipped with rubber gaskets.

An example of replacing a standing heating system is shown in the video:

To mask pipes, you can use curtains or Wall panels. In this case, the pipeline will be invisible, but if necessary, maintenance or repair, it will be available. It is not worth bricking the pipes tightly: they must be replaced regularly.
Installation of heating risers is desirable to carry out in a place where access to them will be simplified. This will allow in the future to carry out repairs and transfer of the heating riser without any problems. When cutting threads, you should make sure that the distance from it to the floor and walls will be at least 8-10 cm. It is not worth cutting a pipe that is in a bent position, and when cutting, it is advisable to hold the pipe with a wrench to reduce the likelihood of it coming off due to for torque. In addition, to facilitate cutting, the pipe can be lubricated with oil.

Conclusion

In this article, a riser heating system and its features were considered. This information should help in the maintenance and repair of risers, and the knowledge gained will help deal with the operation of riser heating in practice.

Distribution of the coolant in high-rise buildings happens with the help vertical pipes. They pass through all floors of the house, and radiators and batteries are connected to them. Therefore, it is necessary to consider characteristics, which heating risers have: shutdown, replacement, thermal insulation.

Purpose of heating risers

Piping with risers is an outdated scheme. However, given the large number of old-style buildings, it is quite laborious and expensive to upgrade heating for them. Most often it is necessary to replace the heating risers in apartment building to more modern polymer materials or install additional thermal insulation and make repairs.

The performance of this heating element depends on the geometric dimensions and material of manufacture. The main diameter of the heating riser must be equal to the same size of the connected pipes. Otherwise, a pressure drop will occur, due to which the heat balance throughout the house will change, and the noise level will increase.

In order for the replacement of the heating riser in the apartment to be as professional as possible, you need to know its main functional purposes:

• Heat carrier distribution by consumers. At the entrance of each apartment building there can be from 4 to 8 risers. In some cases, in one apartment their number reaches 4;
• Depending on the heat supply scheme, the riser can perform hot coolant delivery functions and at the same time transportation of cooled. This is typical for single pipe system. In a two-pipe system, at least 2 such elements are required;
• Hydraulic load balancing. Despite the inevitable bending of the heating riser, it must still distribute the pressure evenly over its entire height.

But the consumer is more concerned about domestic issues than operational ones. How to turn off the heating riser and what needs to be done for this? Such a question arises with the possible replacement or repair of batteries, radiators and heat supply pipes in an apartment. To solve this problem, you first need to decide on the adaptation of new components to an already installed heating riser.

Do not connect a warm water floor to central heating through the stand. This will unbalance the entire system.

Installation of a heating riser

The transfer of a heating riser or its replacement is a complex procedure in terms of labor intensity and design. It is best to carry out these activities not in heating season when the system is not running. But this is not always possible.

To replace the heating riser in the apartment, you will need to solve two issues:

1. Issue a permit.
2. Choose the right components and installation scheme for a new vertical pipeline.

Only after that you can change the heating riser. AT winter period this issue must be agreed not only with the management company, but also with the residents of the house, through whose apartments the heat supply riser passes.

Can't mount circulation pump to the heating stand. This will lead to a change in water pressure and, as a result, a violation thermal regime home heating work.

How to turn off the riser from heating

Legal shutdown of the heating riser during the heating season is a big problem when repairing or installing new radiator pipes. The difficulty lies in the fact that the coolant flow completely stops in this circuit.

It is necessary to perform a similar procedure when carrying out repairs and installing new components of the heating system. Turning off the heating risers in winter is not done immediately. To do this, you must write an application to the management company, agree on a date and time. Otherwise, the following problems are possible if the heating riser is closed without these actions:

• The lack of heat supply throughout the heating circuit will lead to a decrease in the temperature in the apartments of other residents.
• Failure to comply with the normalized degree of air heating in residential premises will completely fall on the person who arbitrarily turned off the riser. When filing claims, he will have to pay moral and material compensation;
• When the heating riser is turned off during the heating season to install new components without permits, it is possible to temporarily shut off the heat supply in the apartment by representatives management company.

How to correctly turn off the heating risers in winter? First, the reason for initiating this action must be stated along with the application. It may consist in replacing already installed heating components with new ones, but with the same parameters. To shut off the heating riser in connection with the modernization of the system, you must perform the following actions:

1. Obtain Technical Conditions (TU) from the management company. This document indicates the technical parameters of the new components, as well as the piping layout.
2. After the fulfillment of the technical specifications, all the necessary components are purchased, including for the replacement of the heating riser.
3. Agreed time of shutdown of heat supply. The installation can be carried out both by the residents of the apartment themselves, and by employees. After checking by representatives of the management company, the heating system starts up again.

Often, for a new scheme, it is necessary to transfer the heating riser. In practice, this procedure will be extremely problematic. In contrast to turning off the heating riser during the heating season, in addition to permission from residents and management companies, redevelopment of heat supply in all apartments along this circuit will be required. It will be impossible to do this, since for this it is necessary that in each apartment not only the heating riser be turned off in winter, but also the configuration and location of heating devices should be changed.

If the shutdown time of the heating riser is short, you can negotiate with a local plumber. He will do it without unnecessary red tape for a moderate fee.

Rules for installing a new heating riser

Before turning off the heating riser to install a new design or replace batteries, you should find out the rules and recommendations for its installation. They are described in detail in SNiP 3.05.01-85.

Each heating riser in an apartment building was installed in accordance with these standards. Therefore, it must be replaced with a similar design with the same technical and operational parameters:

• The inner diameter of the pipe should not differ from the previously installed one;
• The value of the maximum possible bending of the heating riser cannot exceed 2 mm per 1 r.m. its length;
• To pass pipes through interfloor ceilings, it is necessary to install special sleeves. They should be flush with the ceiling, and be 30 mm higher than the finished floor.

So when replacing a heating riser in an apartment, you must observe minimum distance from its outer surface to the wall. If this condition is not met, additional heat loss, since the design is most often located at outer wall building. This distance directly depends on the diameter of the heating riser.

If it happens partial replacement heating riser in one apartment - the ends of the pipeline must go to neighboring rooms located above and below. Otherwise, the conditions of SNiP 3.05.01-84 will not be met, which will cause the representatives of the management company to reject the project.

When installing a bend in a heat supply riser, it is forbidden to make pipe connections that, after installation, will be in the interfloor ceiling.

The choice of material for the manufacture of the heating riser

In the vast majority of cases, heating risers in an apartment building are made of steel pipes. After several decades of operation, their condition will be unsatisfactory. If the apartment is replacing pipes with new ones, you must also install a riser made of quality materials.

However, there may be difficulties in doing so. Specifications new pipe material must meet the requirements. You can find out about them from specifications from the management company, or by consulting with their representatives by phone. Most often they are as follows:

• Compliance of pipes with the temperature regime of heating. Those. new design must withstand the maximum possible thermal impact without the occurrence of emergency situations;
• System pressure. For district heating it can be from 3 to 6 atm. But you need to remember that hydraulic shocks can periodically occur (when the system is filled). Therefore, a margin of 25-30% must be added to the normalized pressure value. That is why it is impossible to install a circulation pump on a heating riser;
• Ensuring proper thermal insulation of the pipe. This should only be done if it passes through non-residential premises where exposure to negative temperatures is possible. For this, thermal insulation of heating risers is done.

These requirements are met by several classes of pipe materials. The easiest way is to install the same steel. But most often the choice is stopped on polypropylene models.

For arranging a heating riser, it is best to choose polypropylene pipe high strength class - PN25. It is designed for high performance maximum pressure. The problem may lie in temperature regime heating work. If the upper limit exceeds + 90 ° С, the installation of polypropylene is not possible. Then the only option is steel pipes.

In no case should metal-plastic lines be installed. In spite of good performance thermal insulation, heating risers from them will be extremely unreliable. This is due to periodic pressure drops in the system. Gaps most often occur in connecting nodes, which are made from clamp fittings.

After turning off the heating riser, before its first start, it is necessary to make a pressure test. Only then can the coolant be supplied to the circuit.

Rules for connecting radiators to the riser

Riser replacement is most often associated with general modernization heating system. At the same time, not only new pipes are installed, but also radiators and batteries. It is important to choose the right scheme for their connection with the heat supply system.

First you need to complete the radiator so that it can effectively perform its functions. Its harness should include the following components:

• Shut-off valves. With its help, you can completely limit the flow of coolant into the battery for its repair or replacement;
• thermostat. Needed to reduce heat flow in order to reduce the surface temperature;
• Mayevsky crane. Device for removing air pockets.

In addition to the possible thermal insulation of the heating risers, the wiring diagram of the supply lines is taken into account. For a single-pipe system, a bypass is mandatory. This is a piece of pipe connecting the inlet and outlet pipes of the radiator. The bypass diameter must be one size smaller than that of the heating riser. In this case, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a zone reduced pressure in system.

Experts recommend using the same pipes to connect the drain to the battery. This is necessary to normalize the operation parameters of the entire system, and it will also greatly facilitate the laboriousness of installation. As additional measure pressure and temperature sensors can be installed. Thus, the quality of the heat supply service can be monitored.

To prevent premature clogging of the battery, it is recommended to install a strainer. It is mounted on the supply pipe in front of the thermostat.

Neighbors blocked the heating riser - what to do?

Despite the fact that heating repairs are best done outside the heating season, some do not adhere to this rule. What to do if the neighbors blocked the heating riser and one of the heat supply circuits is not functioning?

There are many recommendations for resolving this issue - from a general censure to calling the police. Ultimately, this will lead to desired result- the air temperature in the rooms will be normal. However, these methods are not correct. If there is a suspicion that the neighbors blocked the heating riser, you need to perform the following actions:

1. Call the Management Company and make sure that the house is not currently undergoing repair or maintenance work.
2. No need to run around the apartments and look for the reason for the shutdown. You should call the representatives of the management company to resolve this issue. It was with her that an agreement was concluded for the supply of heat to the apartment.
3. After the culprit has been found, he can be threatened with a fine for unbalancing the heating system. This item is mandatory in the heat supply contract.

Only in this way can the heating work be resumed. Everyone else demands too much unnecessary effort, and also lead to loss of time and nerve cells. Everyone must fulfill their contractual obligations. This primarily concerns the management company.

In the video you can see the features of replacing the heating riser:

Property owners in an apartment building can no longer do without installed system sewerage, plumbing and heating system. Only any communications periodically need to be repaired.

Even a non-professional will be able to make internal piping, but he is unlikely to be able to replace communications on the riser.

At whose expense is the replacement of risers in an apartment building

Many people ask themselves: who should pay for the replacement of risers in each individual apartment? People still continue to argue about this, but they can not come to a consensus. Only lawyers can solve this riddle. However, to begin with, it is worth familiarizing yourself with all kinds of discussed versions.

Some believe that all tenants are required to pay equally for the replacement of the riser. According to another version, only those citizens who express a desire for a replacement should pay for it.

There is also an assumption that the developer must carry out these repairs. In this case, people would not have to pay for anything at all. So which of the judgments is correct?

There can be only one answer: the housing maintenance office should carry out the replacement of risers for apartments at its own expense, without involving citizens in this. This judgment has a legal basis.

With regard to the water supply or sewerage system in high-rise buildings, then these are objects common use, although they are related to each property owner separately. This statement is enshrined in law, it is enough just to read Art. 290, 292 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and paragraph 5 of Art. 36 and Art. 155 ZhK RF. And after all everyone is ready to pay for this service from own pocket.

Monthly, in receipts for rent, you can find the amount that is collected from citizens for the maintenance and repair of the same risers and pipes. Therefore, when an unexpected breakthrough or other emergency occurs, the housing office must urgently replace it. ZhEK does not have the right to demand money from people, since they paid everything in advance, and maybe even for several years in advance.

If a refusal is received, it should be requested in writing. Now, having in hand a document in which the housing office refuses to replace the risers, you can go to court. True, you will probably have to wait more than one year until the court makes a decision. In this case, there are only two options.

First, you can wait for a serious accident, as a result of which the entire entrance will be flooded, and the repair team will have to do their job. Although in some cases, housing office workers simply brew trouble spot instead of replacing the entire riser.

Secondly, you can organize a general meeting of apartment owners and resolve the issue of high-quality replacement of pipes, but at your own expense. You will have to pay 3-5 thousand rubles from each apartment. In addition, you can solve the issue with piping, which is missing in the bathroom.

The procedure for replacing risers in an apartment building

Risers are installed in each house:

• heating system;
• sewer;
• for supplying hot and cold water to the apartment.

Replacement of each of them must be done in a certain sequence. The following list of works is expected:

• overlap of the repaired riser. In any case, if it comes to pipes for supplying water, then you still need to wait until the remaining liquid drains through the system. When it comes to replacing sewer riser, then you need to warn all residents of the house so that no one drains the water at this moment, and shut off its supply;
• removal of old pipes, dismantling. It is necessary to agree with the management company in order to use professional locksmiths, since the old pipes will have to be removed from interfloor overlap. This is a very time-consuming procedure, especially if the pipes were made of cast iron;
• installation of new pipes. At this point, you need to open the water and check the process of water supply for leakage.

Most best option- simultaneous replacement of communications throughout the house. This will avoid in the future possible leaks and emergencies that may arise after the installation of a new riser in only one particular apartment.

Although the principle of work on replacing communication systems is the same everywhere, there are still some features.

At the time of replacing the heating riser, it is necessary:

• notify the management company about the need to turn off the heat supply. Without certain knowledge regarding the location of the valve itself, you will not be able to block the riser;
• when connecting batteries, you need to think about installing shut-off valves, so that in case of a leak, you will not have to shut off the heat supply throughout the house;
• when replacing pipes, one should not resort to extreme measures and narrow their diameter, otherwise a breakthrough may occur, given a certain pressure in the central heating system.

To replace the water riser, the correct type of pipe is of particular importance. There is a difference between serving cold and hot water, since in the second case there is a need to install plastic reinforced pipes. They will not deform high temperatures.

The procedure for replacing pipes is best done throughout the house, but if the neighbors do not want to do this, then the master must cut off the old pipe in the apartment in front of the ceilings, upper and lower. Next, special fittings are installed.

When replacing the entire riser, it must be ensured that the dismantling is carried out starting from the apartment on the top floor. However, the installation of a new riser definitely starts from the bottom.

In the event that the neighbors are in no hurry to replace the riser, you can simply cut off the pipe at the floor and ceiling, and then install a tap, which is installed in the remnants old pipe.

At whose expense is the replacement of risers in the apartment

This question often arises among apartment owners, however, the answers to it among practitioners are ambiguous. On multiple Internet sites, users are trying to find a definite answer, although it practically lies on the surface.

One group of people believes that payment should be made at the expense of tenants, others talk about payment by persons who express their desire on their own, others say that replacement is carried out at the expense of developers, optimists talk about free provision. In this article we will try to find the truth.

Replacement of risers in the apartment: at whose expense

It is carried out at the expense of the housing office. This statement has a legal basis. Water supply, sewerage, electricity are objects of common ownership. This property is owned by all the owners of the dwelling (if we are talking about multi-storey buildings).

These provisions are enshrined in the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, such as the Land Code and the LCD. And the owners pay for it. Every month, the housing office enters into the rent an amount that goes to the operation of pipes and risers.

In case of accidents, when risers break through, the ZhEK is obliged to respond to these situations. ZhEK has no right to take money from residents in such cases. If they refuse to make repairs, it is necessary to demand a written refusal from them. This provides a direct opportunity to apply to the judiciary. And, most likely, the court will take the side of the plaintiff.

Unfortunately, today's reality is a little different: the application will be accepted, considered and, most likely, the persons will be placed in a queue in which you can stand for several years.

And here there are several solutions:

• Wait until an accident occurs, as a result of which the entire entrance will flood, and only after that the housing office will take measures to repair (there were cases when even in these situations the repairmen carried out partial repairs, after which the “new” riser functioned for a maximum of a year);
• organize a meeting of tenants and agree on a paid replacement at it (of course, at your own expense, as a rule, its cost varies from 3 to 5 thousand rubles).

How to replace risers in an apartment

Initially, you need to contact the Criminal Code and provide an application for a change of risers. Individuals must indicate in the application a convincing justification for the replacement, as well as provide evidence (for example, photographs or an expert opinion).

The application is drawn up in two copies, the first of them is given to the accounting department or the department that accepts applications, the next copy serves as evidence that the application has been accepted, therefore it must be signed by the person who accepted it.

In cases where the application is drawn up correctly and the facts indicated in it are legal, the housing office is obliged to carry out the appropriate work in the near future. Otherwise, the person will receive a refusal paper with explanations on what grounds the application was withdrawn.

If a person does not agree with the refusal, he should draw up an appeal to the prosecutor's office with all the documents in the hands of the applicant. It is also not prohibited to replace risers for homeowners without obtaining the appropriate permission. The person also has the right to take the initiative to replace the risers.

The sequence of steps for replacing risers is explained in the following instructions:

• Writing an application to the housing office, in which the person expresses his desire to carry out such a replacement in his home. It is also necessary to indicate in it how the replacement will be made: with your own hands or with the help of another company. In such cases, the housing office issues permission to carry out this work and indicates the date and time period during which replacement can be carried out. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that disconnecting risers is an expensive service, and the amount of money is credited to the account of the management company.
• It is necessary to prepare a set of tools and materials in advance, in which case the work will be accelerated. By the beginning of work, a complete set of tools should be ready. It is also necessary to gain access to the neighbors living above and below in order to organize the work.

• carry out the transfer of risers and modify them;
• block them with static structures (gaining access to the riser is carried out along its entire length);
• operate small plumbing hatches that are not convenient during operation.

Material selection

Choice specific type material can be agreed with the employees of the housing office - this will be the most optimal way. It is not recommended to buy material at will. In this case, it may cause material loss or force majeure. In no case, you should not independently carry out the replacement, it is best to carry it out in the housing office.

Required Tools:

• materials for cutting pipes;
• chisel;
• screwdriver;
• a hammer;
• perforator;
• piece of polyethylene;
• Grinder;
• gloves and goggles;
• level.

Instruction

At the very beginning, it is necessary to dismantle the obsolete pipe, eliminate all its remnants. Further using grinder pipe is being cleaned. Special cuffs are installed on the upper and lower parts of the pipe.

Connection boundaries are lubricated with silicone. Clamps are collected in order to fasten the pipe elements. Next, the pipe is assembled, and then the functioning of the entire structure is restored. After the riser is started and the tightness of the pipe is checked.

Who should change the risers in a privatized apartment - sewer, heating

Responsibilities for replacing risers in a privatized apartment

The newly minted owner of an apartment sometimes does not even suspect how many problems he will now have to solve. And one of them, who now owns the responsibility for replacing risers in a privatized apartment? After all, along with the living space, communications, including common house ones, also become the property.

Pipe replacement

All those communications that are located inside the apartment and which can only be used by its owner and residents do not raise questions about their ownership. This is private property. And the owner can do with them whatever he sees fit. Of course, if this does not lead to the fact that the property of his neighbors or their other rights and interests will suffer.

The owner of the apartment has the right:

• replace the old metal pipes to more modern ones;
• put new mixers, counters;
• increase or decrease the amount of plumbing;
• change batteries, etc.

He does all this of his own free will and at his own expense. This does not cause surprise or doubt about the legitimacy of such actions. Ownership includes the possibility of such changes and improvements.

But when it comes to replacing risers, that is, those thick pipes that connect all floors and apartments into a single whole, opinions differ.

Residents believe that the management company is responsible for the common property, and they say that since this is the common property of apartment owners, everything related to replacing or repairing pipes is their responsibility. Let's try to figure out who is right.

Who should change risers in a privatized apartment

It is worth remembering that in addition to the right of ownership, there is also the so-called burden of the owner, which consists in the need to maintain their property in good condition and pay for its maintenance.

Including for:

• water;
• sewerage;
• other benefits of civilization.

And here the question arises, who owns those pipes and their branches that are no longer inside each private apartment, and connect it with engineering communications bringing water, heat and light to the building itself?

They, as it turns out, refer to common property belonging to all owners. That is, those pipes that are in the apartment are personal, and the risers are common.

Legislation

The legislation confirms this. The government in 2006 approved the Rules concerning the maintenance of common house property.

They list what exactly relates to property recognized as common:

1. Equipment serving more than one apartment.
2. Drainage system (i.e. sewerage), etc.

But the confirmation of the fact that all pipes, including water, heating, gas and sewer pipes, are the property of the residents of the house, does not answer the question, who should still change the risers in a privatized apartment? The same document refers to such a concept as repair (current and capital).

The definition of maintenance given in the Rules technical operation housing stock, includes such positions regarding all pipelines inside a residential building, such as:

• installation;
• replacement;
• restoration of performance.

At whose expense

Monthly in payment notices utilities you can see the line "maintenance and repair of housing." The amount in it depends on the footage of the apartment and the number of residents.

Replacing risers in an apartment: legal aspect and step-by-step instructions

Driving into new apartment, we will never see rusty and dilapidated pipes there. If you wish, you can create design masterpieces without thinking about replacing the risers in the house. When the apartment is already over thirty, cosmetic repairs you won't get off. Often in such houses the water supply and sewerage systems fail, pipes and risers leak. Buying new plumbing fixtures won't solve the problem. Even the installation inside the dwelling of the pipeline from modern materials doesn't always help. Need to replace the risers in the apartment. Perhaps the root of evil is there.

Riser change: legal aspect

The riser is the common property of the managing organization (ZHEK, ZHEU, etc.). An agreement is drawn up with this organization. Let's highlight the main points in a typical document.

1. The tenant (that is, we, mere mortals) is obliged to carry out current repairs in the occupied premises (at our own expense):

• whitewash, paint or paste walls, ceilings;
• paint floors, doors, window sills, window frames;
• paint radiators;
• change windows and doors;
• repair in-house network engineering(heating, hot and cold water supply, electrical wiring, gas supply).

2. The landlord (the one to whom we pay for the apartment) is obliged:

• participate in the worthy maintenance and repair of the common property of an apartment building;
• fulfill overhaul residential premises.

If the Landlord fails to perform these obligations or performs them improperly, the Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to demand:

• reduce rent for an apartment (corresponding utility bills);
• reimburse their expenses for the repair of common property in an apartment building, elimination of shortcomings in a residential building;
• compensate for losses incurred due to improper performance or non-performance by the lessor of his obligations.

Thus, the replacement of risers in council apartment, as well as in the premises of an apartment building, should be carried out by the managing organization at no additional charge.

Pipes need to be dealt with separately. Everything that goes from the riser to the first shut-off valve is the common property of the managing organization. If a locking device not up to the mixer itself, then this area is also common property. Everything after the valve is repaired by the tenant for his hard-earned money.

Another point: if the house is not the property of the housing department, then the repair of common property is paid for by all residents.
