Saue One-pipe systems and Terraced houses with a heat pump
In the Soviet-era apartment buildings in the city of Saue, heating still operates as a single-pipe system: hot water moves from floor to floor through all radiators in a row. The townhouses and detached houses in Laagri, Alliku and Vanamõisa were built after 2000 and have water-based underfloor heating on the first floor and an air-to-water heat pump in the boiler room, the circuit of which has now accumulated mud and the precharge pressure of the expansion tank has dropped. In such houses, Tallinn Torutööd washes through the heat pump mud filter, measures the precharge pressure of the expansion tank on the drained circuit and fills the tank with nitrogen, because a tank filled with air loses pressure faster.
There are detached houses with a well in the outskirts of the municipality in the direction of Hüüru and Valingu, where the well pump and pressure tank are the only source of water for the house. In such a house, Tallinn Torutööd installs a dry-run protection next to the pressure switch, which turns off the pump when the well is empty. The precharge pressure of the pressure tank membrane tank is 1.8 bar and the pump start pressure is 2 bar, so the pump does not turn on after every glass of water. By the end of 2025, 97 dry passage protections have been installed in the well houses of Saue municipality.
Plumbing and heating services in Saue
In the apartment buildings of the city of Saue, there is work with one-pipe heating and plumbing, in the detached houses of the municipality, with a well pump, heat pump and underfloor heating. In Saue and Saue municipality, plumbers did 167 jobs in 2025, and from 2002 to the end of 2025, 2,931 jobs from Laagri to Hüüru. Below is a Saue example for each service.
Water heater installation and replacement
Installation of the boiler in a detached house with a borehole in Saue connects the boiler's pressure tank pressure to the water supply, where due to the check valve, the water that expands as it heats up can no longer return to the well. Tallinn Torutööd installs an 8-liter hot water expansion tank next to such a boiler, which takes over the expansion and keeps the safety valve from dripping.
Water pipe replacement and installation
The replacement of the pipeline in the detached house of Saue municipality also includes the external line coming from the well to the house, which must be 1.8 meters deep and made of one piece of 32 mm PE pipe so that it does not freeze or leak from the joint. Tallinn Torutööd pressurizes the new line to 10 bar before driving the trench and monitors the pressure gauge for 60 minutes, because a leak found after backfilling means the entire trench has to be re-excavated.
Radiator replacement
Replacing radiators in an apartment building in the city of Saue requires a bypass pipe in a single-pipe system, because without it, all the hot water in the riser will pass through the new radiator, and the closed thermostat will cool the neighbors on the lower floors. Tallinn Torutööd draws a diagram for the apartment association board before the work, showing how the water moves in the riser and why the bypass pipe must remain in front of the radiator.
Central heating installation
Installation of the central heating system The Laagri or Alliku detached house connects air-to-water to the heat pump radiators and underfloor heating through a buffer tank, because the heat pump needs a uniform flow even with the closed loops of the room thermostats. Tallinn Torutööd installs a 100-liter buffer tank next to the 8-kilowatt heat pump, from which the pump recovers heat when the outside part is thawed in winter. During the repair of the heat pump, Tallinn Torutööd turns off the heating of the house for 1 hour only.
Underfloor heating installation and maintenance
Installation and maintenance of underfloor heating The row house of the camp begins with the flow meters of the manifold, the glass tube of which has darkened with mud over the years and no longer shows whether the circuit is working at all. After setting, Tallinn Torutööd leaves a table on the inside of the distribution cabinet door with the room of each circuit and the set flow rate in liters per minute.
Circulation pump replacement
replacement of the circulation pump Saue detached house with a borehole starts with the hot water circulation pump, the rotor of which is stuck after the summer shutdown during the family vacation. Tallinn Torutööd installs only circulation pumps with a bronze casing in houses with well water in Saue municipality, because the oxygen-rich domestic water eats away the cast iron casing from the inside.
