Horizontal drain runs
uPVC pipes graded to correct fall for each wet room and kitchen
First-fix plumbing for new houses
Drain lines laid right before the walls close
Wrong falls and a missing vent stack cause blockages for years; every drain point is set and checked before screed covers them

What drainage first-fix covers
laying waste lines, vent stacks, floor traps and cleanout access before the slab is buried
Vent stack installation
vent column fitted to prevent trap siphoning and sewer odour indoors
Cleanout access points
cleanout positions fixed before burial so future maintenance needs no breaking
Floor trap setting
floor traps set at correct level before screed is poured over them
Main drain connection
building drain lines connected to the external sewer at correct invert level
Pre-burial drain test
all drain lines water-tested before burial to confirm joints are sound
How the job runs
First contact
call or WhatsApp us and describe the building type and current construction stage
Drawing review
we review the drainage drawings and confirm required pipe routes and invert levels
Pipe laying
uPVC drain runs laid to correct falls with vent stack, traps and cleanouts fitted
Water test
all lines water-tested before burial to confirm every joint holds
Handover
a record drawing of point positions and pipe routes is handed over for future reference
Signs the drainage first-fix was done poorly
Recurring block at one point
a block that returns at the same drain point points to an under-graded or flat pipe run
Sewer smell inside rooms
sewer odour rising from floor traps usually means no vent stack or a dry-siphoned trap
Gurgling when drains run
gurgling heard in one fixture when another drains is a classic sign of missing ventilation
Slow drains across multiple fixtures
multiple slow drains together in a new build point to a main drain fall or connection fault
Common mistakes in drainage first-fix
Insufficient pipe fall
a fall below the minimum lets solids settle and narrow the pipe over time
Omitting the vent stack entirely
skipping the vent to cut cost causes permanent sewer odour that cannot be fixed after walls close
Wrong washing machine outlet routing
connecting a washing machine drain without a trapped gully lets drain fumes enter the room
Burying lines without testing
burying drain pipes without a water test hides faulty joints that leak under the screed for years

What decides the price
no fixed rate applies; the quote depends on factors specific to each project and building type
Number of drain points
each additional waste point adds pipe length, fittings and labour
Floors and drain run length
longer horizontal runs and taller vent stacks increase uPVC pipe quantity
Building type
a single villa differs from a multi-unit block in coordination and drain routing complexity
Sewer connection point location
a distant or deep external sewer line requires extra excavation or pipe to reach it
Specified pipe grade and fittings
uPVC wall thickness class and fitting type specified for the project affect material cost

Common questions

+965 9668 4964
What fall is needed for horizontal drain pipes?
The minimum fall depends on the pipe diameter. A fall below that minimum lets water move slowly and deposit solids, narrowing the line until it blocks. Correct grading at first-fix avoids the problem entirely.
Can a new drain point be added after the slab is poured?
It is possible but requires breaking tiles and screed to reach and branch into the existing drain line, which is costly and disruptive. Proper planning before burial avoids this entirely.
Why are drain pipes different from pressure pipes in first-fix?
Drain pipes work by gravity, not pressure, so uPVC with thicker walls and different fittings is used to carry solids and handle permanent loading. PPR is a pressure pipe and is not a substitute for uPVC in waste lines.
Does drainage first-fix include the external drain run outside the building?
Yes, the work includes connecting the building drain lines to the external sewer network at the correct invert level. The length of that external run and the excavation depth affect the overall cost.
How do you confirm drain point positions are correct before burial?
We work from the approved drainage drawings and verify each point position against wall lines and fixture layouts. After laying, a water test is done and a record drawing of all point positions is handed to the owner.
