Installation of a point siphon

Installation of a point siphon for a bathroom and wet rooms

Proper installation of a point siphon is key to trouble-free drainage in a bathroom, wet room, laundry room or closet. When the siphon is installed professionally, the floor drains quickly, there are no unpleasant odors and leaks to the neighbors are avoided. Our team performs installation of a point siphon according to all technical requirements, with precise leveling and reliable waterproofing, so that the floor remains dry and safe for a long time.

What does professional installation of a point siphon include

When you call an experienced plumber to install a point siphon, you get a complete service, not just the installation of one element. We work with quality materials and follow all manufacturer recommendations to ensure a long life for the sewer and pavement.

Preparation of the opening and inspection of the channel

Before the installation itself, detailed preparation of the site is carried out:

• Inspection of the existing channel and inspection for blockages or old leaks
• Cleaning the opening and preparation of the connection to the sewer pipe
• If necessary, partial replacement of the pipe and correction of the slope for better drainage
• Dry fitting of the siphon to check the levels before final fixing

If during the preparation we discover a serious problem in the sewer, we can offer additional vik services, such as plumbing repair, unblocking of channels or prevention of sewerage.

Leveling and connecting the point siphon

The most important part of installing a point siphon is leveling and ensuring the correct slope towards the opening. This ensures that water will not remain on the floor:

1. Positioning the siphon in relation to the tiles and the future grid
2. Precise height leveling according to the thickness of the screed and flooring
3. Connection to the sewer pipe with appropriate fittings and seals
4. Check for reverse slope and test with water before final fixing

If necessary, we can also do a partial pipe replacement in the area around the siphon, especially in old installations or after a serious repair.

Waterproofing, screed and fine adjustment

To prevent leaks to the neighbors or damp spots on the walls, high-quality waterproofing and screeding is performed around the point siphon:

• Laying waterproofing strips and coatings around the siphon and on the floor
• Greasing with special mixtures for firm fixation and protection from moisture
• Making the screed with a precise slope towards the siphon opening
• Fine adjustment of the grid level to the tiles for an aesthetic appearance

After completing all stages, a water test is performed again to make sure that there is no leak from the siphon, as well as that drainage is fast and even.

Why is the correct installation of a point siphon important

An incorrectly installed point siphon can lead to serious problems in the bathroom and the entire property. Repairs afterwards are more expensive and difficult, especially when tiles are already installed.

Preventing leaks and moisture

A quality installation of a point siphon reduces the risk of:

• A leak in the bathroom that can leak to the neighbors or in an adjacent room
• A leak from a pipe in the siphon area due to improper sealing
• Moisture under the tiles and consequently mold, odors and damage to the flooring

If there are suspicions of hidden leaks, we can use a thermal camera and other equipment to detect leaks before the tiles and screed are destroyed.

Comfort, safety and easy maintenance

A well-installed point siphon ensures:

• Quick drainage of water without puddles and slipping
• Less risk of blockage and easier unblocking when needed
• Possibility for easy prevention and cleaning of the siphon

For more serious problems with the sewer or frequent blockages, we can offer other sewer services, such as video diagnostics of drains, unblocking of a clogged drain and sewer prevention.

When to seek a specialist for installation and repair of a point siphon

Do not delay calling a vik master or plumbing technician if you notice the following signs:

• Water is retained around the siphon and drains slowly
• There is moisture or stains on the ceiling at the neighbors from below
• There is a gurgling sound or unpleasant odors coming from the siphon
• The tiles around the siphon have collapsed or the screed is cracked

In such cases, it is better to make a quality repair or a completely new vik installation and repair in the siphon area, instead of making temporary fixes that do not solve the problem. In emergency situations, when there is an active leak or a serious accident, you can also rely on emergency vik assistance with a quick response and professional equipment.

If you are planning a major bathroom renovation or replacement of the flooring, it is recommended that the installation of a point siphon be carried out together with the construction of new vik installations. This way you get a complete solution, without compromises and repairs later.

We work cleanly, precisely and with attention to every detail to ensure that your property is protected from moisture and leaks, and your bathroom is comfortable and safe for use every day.
