Some common issue in building plumbing system

Plumbing installations play a vital role in buildings since these supply clean water to several types of plumbing fixtures and then send used water to the sewage system. Water should be delivered uninterruptedly and safeguarded from contagion, and drain pipes should have sufficient diameter and no obstructions.

In this article, you will be familiar with common plumbing issues and how to get rid of them.

Preferably, plumbing installations should be done in an optimal way from the project design stage since restructuring a defective system in an existing building becomes complicated because there are several pipes implanted in floors and walls.

1) Defective Venting in Plumbing Lines

When there is not sufficient venting, flow is obstructed and fails to take away used water from fixtures quickly. Under plumbing systems, vents should arrange proper air movement into the pipes, but devoid of allowing odors out. The venting design also combines stacks which are extended to the rooftop, making sure that odors are discharged without affecting anybody.

2) Backflow

Backflow comprises of water movement opposite to the proposed direction in a pipe. The backflow occurs for the following reasons:

• Back siphonage means a cutback in upstream pressure. As for instance, water supply pressure is reduced with an abrupt surge in consumption.
• Back pressure means a surge in downstream pressure. As for instance, in high-rise buildings, gravity drive the water back that is stored in the piping system and the supply pressure should be considerably high enough to overcome this effect.
