Water Pipe Installation in Tallinn — PP-R, PEX, Copper

New water supply system or old pipe replacement — full package with completion documentation

Water pipe installation in Tallinn — professional PP-R and PEX pipe fitting in apartment buildings
Overview

Water pipe installation is one of the core plumbing services — whether building a water supply system in a new home, renovating or replacing old corroded pipes in a panel-block apartment. Torupro plumbers are certified to work with polypropylene (PP-R), cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) and copper and stainless-steel pipes. PP-R pipe is the current standard in Estonian apartment buildings and houses — lightweight, durable, scale-resistant and suitable for both cold and hot water systems. Polyfusion-welded joints are tightly sealed and do not leak for decades. PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is flexible and particularly well-suited for underfloor heating circuits and tight spaces where PP-R would bend too sharply. Copper pipe is a durable tradition — corrosion-resistant, bacteriostatic, and suited to older buildings where PVC does not fit aesthetically. The scope of work we carry out: complete apartment water supply system installation in a renovation project (all taps, outlets, meter assembly), replacement of old galvanised steel pipes with PP-R or PEX, installation of new bathroom, kitchen or additional WC water connections, water meter and pressure reducer replacement, connection of hot water cylinders to the pipework, and installation of mixers, washing machine connections and dishwasher connections. After every job we carry out a pressure test — verifying that the system holds pressure and all joints are sealed. We issue completion documentation, which is required for building permits and useful for future maintenance reference. We serve all Tallinn districts and Harjumaa municipalities. For new builds we work alongside the design engineer — our experience spans from a complete water supply project for a single-family house to a partial renovation of a three-room apartment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pipe material is better — PP-R, PEX or copper?

Each has advantages in different situations. PP-R is the best choice for most apartments — affordable, durable and easy to install. PEX is best for underfloor heating and places where the pipe needs to make complex bends. Copper suits the restoration of older buildings. We recommend the specific choice after inspection.

Does the water supply need to be shut off for pipe replacement?

Yes, water pipe installation requires a water shut-off. We coordinate the shut-off with the building manager in advance — the interruption is usually 4–8 hours during daytime. A single-floor shut-off does not affect other apartments.

Is completion documentation provided?

Yes, after every water pipe installation we provide written completion documentation including a pipe layout diagram and pressure test results. Required for building permits, housing association accounting and future maintenance.

How long does a complete apartment water supply replacement take?

A complete replacement for an average-sized apartment (2–3 rooms) usually takes 2–4 working days, depending on the complexity of the apartment and pipe locations. After installation we carry out a pressure test and handover.
