Down pipes are in fact the most important pipes of a sewer system. Therefore, it is wise to replace the down pipe - if it no longer functions properly - in a timely manner to prevent further sewer problems. Has your down pipe had its day and do you want to replace it? Then you'd better call in a reliable specialist right away. Make an appointment today with the certified professionals at RBNL and before you know it, your sewer problem will be a thing of the past!
In general, we can say that the service life of a down pipe depends on several factors, including the material from which the pipe is made, the quality of the installation, the degree of maintenance and the load to which the pipe is subjected.
In the last century, many down pipes were made of cast iron. These pipes generally have a lifespan of about 30 to 40 years. However, this does not mean that every cast iron down pipe should be replaced after exactly 30 or 40 years. With proper maintenance and timely repairs, cast iron down pipes can often last longer.
Modern down pipes are often manufactured from durable materials, such as PVC, ABS or HDPE. These materials can have a significantly longer life, often up to 50 years or more, depending on the quality of the material and installation.
However, down pipes are susceptible to wear, corrosion and accumulation of dirt and debris. Periodic maintenance, such as regular inspections and cleaning, can extend the life of a down pipe and prevent potential problems.
It is advisable to have a sewer inspection periodically to assess the condition of your down pipe and take any preventive measures, such as the down pipe cleaning, to prevent inconveniences such as blockages and leaks.

When you suffer from leaking water after showering or flushing the toilet, it may indicate a broken down down pipe. If you are unsure of the cause of the problem, you can call on us to perform a sewer inspection performed. With an inspection camera or by means of smoke detection we can identify problems in the pipes. If there is a porous or sagging pipe, or a pipe with a lot of wear, our technicians will recommend replacing the down pipe.
A broken down down pipe can lead to serious problems in a sewer system and can cause significant inconvenience. There are several causes that can lead to the damage or breakage of a down pipe.
One of the most common causes of broken down down pipes is simple age. Over time, materials such as cast iron, which used to be widely used for down pipes, can corrode and become brittle, resulting in cracks and fractures.
Standpipes can be affected by corrosion, especially if the water flowing through them contains corrosive substances or if chemical reactions occur between the pipe and surrounding soil or materials.
Tree roots are notorious culprits when it comes to damaging down pipes. They can work their way through pipes in search of moisture and nutrients, leading to cracks and blockages.
Soil subsidence can put pressure on down pipes, causing them to bend, break or subside. This can occur as a result of soil erosion or construction near the pipes.
Technically improper installation of down pipes can lead to excessive stresses and uneven loads, which can cause the pipes to break or crack over time.
Repeated blockages and accumulated debris can increase pressure in a down pipe, leading to damage or rupture, especially in older pipes.
It is important to conduct regular inspections and address any problems with down pipes in a timely manner to avoid serious damage and costly repairs. Engaging professional plumbers and periodically maintaining the sewer system can help prevent these causes of broken down down pipes. Therefore, choose professional sewer management and sewer cleaning from RBNL.
Replacing a down pipe is often a challenging task that requires some expertise. Wear and tear over the years, corrosion, blockages and other problems can cause the down pipe to stop functioning properly, with possible consequences such as leaks and blockages throughout the building. Therefore, it is vital to understand when and how to replace a down pipe to prevent further damage.
At RBNL, we understand the complexities of this work, have the right materials, and are ready to take your mind off replacing down pipes, a crucial part of sewer and plumbing maintenance.
Sample assignment
In a large apartment complex, we were faced with a complex problem. Several residents were experiencing leaks, sewer odor and sewer flies in several areas. The sewer company that had previously been called in could not solve the problem. Several sewer companies had even turned down the job. We, Rioolbeheer Nederland, were approached to offer help.
After thorough on-site investigation in Utrecht, we discovered that the down pipe, which extended over seven floors, was damaged in as many as four places. This was determined through accurate smoke detection and camera inspection. Based on these findings, we prepared a detailed quote for the complete replacement of the down pipe. After the customer agreed to the quote, we got to work.
The work proceeded in the following steps:
The result was impressive. We replaced the entire down pipe over seven floors and tested it extensively through our quality control, including smoke inspections and camera inspection. We can confirm with complete certainty that everything is functioning properly.
Thanks to our expertise and extensive work, we successfully solved this complex sewer problem. We are proud of the client's satisfaction and pleased that we were able to contribute to a healthier and functioning sewer system in the apartment complex.

Replacement of only the down pipe is justified when the damage is limited to this particular vertical drain pipe in a building, while the rest of the sewer system is in good condition. Typical reasons for replacing the down pipe are wear and tear, corrosion, fractures or blockages. If the entire sewer system is affected by aging, structural problems, root growth or multiple damaged pipes, it is advisable to replace the entire sewer system. A thorough inspection by a sewer expert is necessary to determine what approach is required. The choice between replacing only the down pipe or replacing the entire sewer line replacement thus depends on the extent of the problems and the condition of the entire sewer system.
RBNL works exclusively with fixed rates and surcharges. This is how we keep the cost of sewer installation transparent and fair. When replacing down pipes, the costs depend on the number of pipes and the length. For a specific quote, you can always contact us.
