Atgāzene is dominated by detached houses and low-rise housing — a neighbourhood where the meter is rarely where you expect it.
Atgāzene is a small Pārdaugava neighbourhood between the railway and the residential quarters, dominated by detached houses and low-rise residential buildings.
For water meter work this means that most properties are private houses, where the metering point is not standardised. The assembly may be in a utility room, a basement or outside the house.
Detached housing. Every house was built in its own era with its own solution. Two neighbouring properties can differ considerably.
Low-rise residential buildings. The situation is closer to standard, but the meter assemblies are not as uniform as in the large estates.
Several metering points. In a private house, besides the main incoming meter there may be points for the garden or an outbuilding.
Commercial sites near the railway. The neighbourhood also has small commercial properties with a different metering logic.
In Atgāzene the service is aimed mainly at private houses and low-rise housing.
Private house owners. The majority of requests in Atgāzene.
Residents of low-rise buildings. Situations closer to the apartment scenario.
Representatives of small commercial properties. Sites with separate metering points.
In the request you tell us the property type and where the meter is, if you know.
We reply and establish how many metering points the property is likely to have.
We replace the meters; where the assembly is outside the house we plan the work around the weather.
We seal the meters and prepare a certificate covering every point at the property.
In Atgāzene, where private houses dominate, the number of metering points is not always obvious even to the owner. If you are not sure how many there are, give an approximate number and mention that a survey is needed — we will establish it on site, and the quote will be accurate.
In Atgāzene the most useful thing you can do before we arrive is to make sure that all the metering points can be reached freely.
If one of them is outside the house, it is worth checking that the well opens and that there is no water in it. In winter that matters especially.
If there are metering points at the property you are not sure about, we will find them during the survey and assess them along with the rest.
Private house owners most often ask about the number of metering points — and it frequently turns out that there are more than they thought. We establish this during the survey, before setting a price.
The second question is about the outdoor well in winter. If you suspect the meter has frozen, the most important thing is not to thaw it with an open flame and not to force the water supply back on.
The third question is about call-outs. We come to Atgāzene at an agreed time, and dealing with several points at one property is more cost-effective than repeat visits.
In Atgāzene, where detached houses dominate, the most common surprise is not the condition of the meter but how many there are. Many owners know about the incoming meter but not about the others.
Additional metering points are often set up for watering the garden, an outbuilding, a sauna or a separate part of the house. Sometimes they were installed years ago and only the previous owner knew about them.
That is why a survey at a private house almost always starts with establishing how many points there are in the first place. Only then can we talk about scope and price.
If the meter is outside the house — in a well or a separate technical chamber — the season affects the work more than anything else.
In summer it is usually not a problem. In autumn and spring there is often water in the well; in winter it may be frozen or the cover stuck. In each of these cases the work can be done, but planning becomes more important.
If the well has not been opened for a long time, we recommend checking it before we arrive — that is our practice. It saves time for both sides and lets us say more precisely what the work will involve.
The service is the same in the neighbouring areas.
