The building stock in Ķegums includes detached houses, apartment buildings and technical infrastructure premises. We work with all of these types.
Ķegums is a small town on the Daugava whose layout is largely determined by the hydroelectric power station and the infrastructure that goes with it. The building stock includes detached houses, apartment buildings and technical premises alike.
In water meter work in Ķegums we mainly meet two scenarios: a predictable assembly in an apartment building, and an individual situation in a private house or a rural property.
Apartment buildings. In apartment blocks the assemblies are relatively uniform, and the work usually goes predictably. If your building has paperwork arrangements set by the property manager, it is worth mentioning them.
Detached houses and rural properties. In private houses the assembly tends to be in a utility room or outside the building, and the conditions differ from one property to the next. That is why we start with a survey.
Proximity to the Daugava and the reservoir. Being close to the reservoir means a raised groundwater level in parts of the area. In basements and outdoor wells this speeds up corrosion of the connections.
Wooded outlying areas. Outside the town centre the buildings are more spread out and access depends on the local roads — so we arrange journeys around the exact location.
Residents of apartment buildings. Predictable assemblies, quick work.
Detached house owners. Individual situations with the assembly in the basement or outside the house.
Owners of rural properties. Scattered properties out in the surrounding area.
Company representatives. Properties with several metering points.
In Ķegums the service covers apartment buildings, detached houses and rural properties. Delivering the meter is part of the job.
For properties with no metering, and where a separate metering point is needed for an outbuilding.
You fill in the form, telling us the type of property and the approximate number of metering points.
We write back and agree a time for the visit. Visits to Ķegums are often combined with jobs towards Ogre and Ikšķile.
We replace the meter and assess the assembly. In damp rooms we also assess the condition of the connections.
We seal the meter and prepare the replacement certificate with the readings.
In Ķegums and the surrounding area some properties are close to the reservoir, and assemblies located in basements are exposed to a greater moisture load. If your assembly is in a damp room, during the survey we assess not only the meter but also the condition of the connections and the shut-off valve — in damp conditions these age faster, and replacing them at the same time is often the more practical option.
In Ķegums we often hear the question of whether a damp basement is an obstacle to replacing a meter. It is not — but it does change what we check. In damp conditions the connections and shut-off valves age faster, and it sometimes turns out to make more sense to replace not only the meter but the valve as well. We tell you about that before the work, not on the invoice.
The second question is about timing. As Ķegums is further from Riga, we plan the visit for a time agreed in advance. In practice this means we cannot come the same day, but we can agree a specific time that suits you.
Owners of rural properties ask whether the access road is a problem. Usually it is not, but in spring and winter it is worth mentioning — it affects what we arrive in and how long the journey takes.
In Ķegums a great many properties are close to the reservoir, and that affects the condition of the assemblies more than people usually expect. In a damp basement the connections and shut-off valves age faster, and it sometimes turns out to make more sense to replace not only the meter but the valve as well. We tell you about that before the work.
In rural properties and out in the municipality the main practical factor is access. In spring and winter the state of the access road affects how long the journey takes and what we arrive in. If there is any doubt about it, mention it in your request.
In apartment buildings the work is usually predictable. If your building has arrangements set by the property manager regarding replacement or paperwork, it is worth finding out about them before you get in touch — that lets us prepare the documents in the right form straight away.
In Ķegums we work with private house owners, apartment building property managers and businesses. For properties with many metering points we quote once the survey is complete. For how work across several metering points is run, see the section for property managers.
Near Ķegums we also work in these places. Kilometres as the crow flies.
