Viimsi Apartment Buildings, Geothermal Heat Pumps and Backflow
The older apartment buildings in Haabneeme and Viimsi townships were built in the 1970s and 1980s during the fishermen's collective farm. In these houses, the heating substation has been updated, and Tallinn Torutööd is replacing the original internal piping of the apartments. A ground-source heat pump operates in the boiler room of Pringi, Randvere, Laiaküla and Metsakasti detached houses, the entire living space is heated by underfloor heating and the pipes are made of PEX. These systems now need their first thorough maintenance. Tallinn Torutööd installs a magnetic sludge filter on the return flow of the heat pump in such houses, which traps rust deposits before they reach the heat pump heat exchanger and clog it. By the end of 2025, 173 magnetic mud filters have been installed on Viimsi geothermal heat pumps.
On the seaside plots of Leppneeme, Tammneeme and Rohuneeme, the soil water is high, and during the spring thaw or the high sea level during a storm, it also pushes water in through the joints of underground sewer pipes and wells. Wastewater flows from a full street pipe back into the lowest drain of the house, into the sauna or basement floor stairs. Tallinn Torutööd installs a check valve with a 110 mm cleaning hatch on the drain pipe in such houses and looks with a camera over the pipe between the house and the street well to find joints where groundwater seeps in.
Plumbing and heating services in Viimsi
Viimsi's detached houses' underfloor heating, ground-source heat pump and drainage have reached their first major maintenance, and the plumbing of the apartments in Haabneeme apartment buildings is being replaced. In Viimsi municipality, 221 jobs were carried out in 2025, and from 2002 to the end of 2025, 4,517 jobs were carried out from Haabneeme to Rohuneeme. Below is a Viimsi example for each service.
Water heater installation and replacement
water heater installation in a two-bathroom detached house in Viimsi means changing the 200-liter floor-mounted water heater, because the wall-mounted 80-litre water heater is too small for a morning shower in such a house. Tallinn Torutööd installs a leak tray under the water heater with a sensor that closes the solenoid valve when leaking water is detected and cuts off the water supply before the water reaches the parquet.
Water pipe replacement and installation
The plumbing replacement in the Viimsi detached house starts with the outdoor tap, the pipe left empty in the autumn freezes in the outer wall and splits in the winter. Tallinn Torutööd installs a frost-proof outdoor faucet in houses by the sea, whose shut-off valve is located 30 cm inside the wall in a warm place, so that when the faucet is closed, the part of the pipe passing through the exterior wall will empty itself.
Radiator replacement
Changing the radiators in the Viimsi seaside house means changing the floor convector installed in front of the large glass facade, because the winter sea breeze cools the glass and a stream of cold air pours into the room from under the window. Tallinn Torutööd measures the temperature of the inner surface of the glass with an infrared thermometer before the replacement and selects the power of the new convector according to the length of the glass, not the area of the room.
Central heating installation
Installation of a central heating system in a detached house with a ground-source heat pump in Viimsi also includes an earth circuit, whose freeze-proof liquid must withstand minus 15 degrees and whose pressure drops due to the air remaining in the circuit. Tallinn Torutööd measures the freezing point of the Viimsi land circuit liquid with a refractometer and also finds a air vent hidden under the insulation.
Underfloor heating installation and maintenance
Installation and maintenance of underfloor heating in the first new developments in Viimsi means working with rings whose pipe does not have an oxygen barrier layer, so that oxygen seeps into the heating water and black rust sludge forms in the manifold. Tallinn Torutööd washes the circuits, adds a corrosion inhibitor to the clean water and describes the condition of the heating water before and after washing in the handover report.
Circulation pump replacement
Changing the circulation pump in the two-story detached house in Viimsi keeps the hot water circulating, because in such a house there is a 20-meter pipe from the water heater to the farthest faucet, and without a pump, 2 liters of cooled water flows from the faucet before the hot water. Tallinn Torutööd installs a circulation pump with a thermostat and timer there and sets it so that warm water comes from the farthest tap in 5 seconds.
