Pipe system. The primary purpose of the pipe system in a house is to provide a clean water supply and proper release of waste through the drainage system. Under and inside your home is a maze of pipes that provide water for various rooms of the house. Materials used for these pipes could be PVC, copper and PEX. Use of drainage system. The function of the drainage system is to make the house toxin and gas-free. The kitchen and bathrooms have their drainage system, but they have a common sewer chamber outside the house. Newer homes these days use ABS or PVC pipes. However, some homeowners use PVC for their drain pipes inside the house while they will use a cast iron outside since they are stronger and won’t shake compared to PVC. Plumbing vents and trap. The pipe trap and vent is the central part of the water system and mostly prevent the toxic gas from backing-up through the line. These areas may encounter problems too, and this is where you have to call a professional plumber. They can help with repairs and know plumbing issues and installation and when can plumbing vents be combined and more. After inspection, then your plumber can fix your plumbing problems.
