Soundproofing Waste Pipes

    Folks,

    First fix of the plumbing has started on my house and I can now see how the waste pipes from the services upstairs have been dropped through the precast floor and are running along the ceiling.

    Is it worth trying to minimise the sounds from these pipes when they are in use ? I know its not a big issue, but if I can do something at this stage to easily dampen the sound I would like to do it.

    Is there some sort of lagging I can use on the pipes ?

    Best regards, P.

    heavy duty carpet underlay wrap to pipes

    and double or even triple layer plasterboard to ceiling local to pipe runs

    tight, and i mean tight , - Rockwool pack to floor slab penetrations

    is it worth the trouble - don't find out the hard way
