Basic Plumbing System | Drainage System | Supply and Drainage Subsystems
- Plumbing follows gravity-pressure, which means water seeks its own level.
- Your home's plumbing system has two subsystems; one brings freshwater & the other removes wastewater.
- The water entering your home is under pressure that enters under enough strength to travel upstairs and corners.
- In plumbing emergencies, you must quickly close the main shut-off valve to avoid flooding the home.
- The drainage garbage leaves home because of drain pipes all tilted or tipped downwards towards sewer line/septic tank.
- Supply and drainage subsystems of plumbing are interrelated and often overlap. These are two separate operations.
- Traps are necessary components of the drainage system responsible for forming a seal against sewage gas and collecting hair or dirt to prevent clogged drains.
- Before undertaking any plumbing repair, turn off the water supply to the appliance or main outlet. It's essential to know the main shut-off valve's location in your house.
- Both supply and drainage subsystems are designed to keep themselves strictly segregated. You must maintain the individual supply shut-off valves to ensure proper functioning.
- In addition to the pipes in your basement, examining the foundation of your home will help you understand the components of the DWV system.
