Outdoor pipes of Peetri's Row Houses and Jüri's Mixed Metal Water Connections
Peetri and Järveküla grew from agricultural land to a residential area mainly after 2005: there are two-story terraced houses and apartment buildings with PEX water pipes, underfloor heating on the first floor, and plastic sewer pipes installed outside. The kitchen drain of Peetri's terraced house is connected to an outdoor pipe without a cleaning hatch, and the pipe is removed from behind the wall to open the grease blockage. Tallinn Torutööd installs a fitting with a 110 mm cleaning hatch between the kitchen drain and the outdoor pipe along the wall of the house, where the blockage can be opened without digging. 286 of these fittings have been installed in Peetri and Järveküla townhouses by the end of 2025.
In the older part of Jüri, Lagedi and Vaida, there are Soviet-era apartment buildings and detached houses around them, where the plumbing has been repaired several times over the decades, and one water node has galvanized steel, copper and plastic side by side. A copper pipe screwed directly to a galvanized steel pipe creates a galvanic couple between the metals, the zinc corrodes the thread of the joint and the leak still occurs in the same place. Tallinn Torutööd installs a brass transition fitting or dielectric isolation fitting in such locations, which breaks the direct contact between the two metals.
Plumbing and heating services in Rae Parish
In the new townhouses of Rae municipality, the pumps and mixing units during construction have reached the time of replacement, and the pipelines and radiators in the houses of the older settlements. There were 238 jobs in Rae municipality in 2025 and 3,846 jobs from Peetri to Vaida from 2002 to the end of 2025. Below is an example of Peetri or Jüri for each service.
Water heater installation and replacement
water heater installation In Peetri's apartment building, the boiler is replaced in a narrow technical cabinet, where there is a water meter and a ventilation device next to it, and the round 80-liter tank does not fit through the door of the cabinet. Tallinn Torutööd measures the cabinet before ordering and installs a flat boiler of the same volume with a depth of 290 mm in the narrow cabinet.
Water pipe replacement and installation
The replacement of the pipeline in the terraced house of Rae parish starts from the water meter node, where the ball valve during construction has grown over the years and no longer shuts off the water to repair the leaking pipe. Tallinn Torutööd replaces the entire assembly with a full-bore brass ball valve, check valve, and 100-micron filter that installs so the water meter can be changed later without draining the house's plumbing.
Radiator replacement
The replacement of radiators on the second floor of Peetri's townhouse concerns valve radiators with a bottom connection, the two connections of which are 50 mm apart and the PEX pipes come directly from the floor. Tallinn Torutööd replaces such a radiator using an angled H-valve that shuts off just that one radiator, so the rest of the house's heating stays on during the replacement.
Central heating installation
The installation of a central heating system in a townhouse in Rae parish is the replacement of the first gas boiler with an air-to-water heat pump, which supplies the radiators with 45-degree water, not 70 degrees like the boiler. Tallinn Torutööd calculates the power of each radiator at a 45-degree inflow before the replacement and shows the customer from the table in which room the radiator needs to be replaced with a larger one.
Underfloor heating installation and maintenance
Installation and maintenance of underfloor heating in a terraced house in Rae municipality reaches the actuator motors of the manifold, which remain stuck after 15 heating periods and leave one room around the room cold despite the heating requirements of the room thermostat. Tallinn Torutööd keeps both 230-volt and 24-volt actuator motors in the van, because the developers of Peetri and Järveküla have used both types, and a motor with the wrong voltage will not work.
Circulation pump replacement
Changing the circulation pump in the terraced house of Rae municipality means the pump of the underfloor heating mixture unit, which runs around the clock throughout the heating season and wears out the bearings earlier than the boiler's internal pump. When changing the pump of the mixing unit, Tallinn Torutööd also checks the setting of the thermostatic valve and circuits of the mixing unit.
