Plumbing Problems and Causes

Before we talk about common plumbing problems and solutions for them, let’s briefly touch on the definition and standards of plumbing.

What is plumbing?

The pipe system and all related installations that ensure that clean water is brought to the flats and workplaces in a healthy way and that the waste water is transferred to the sewerage system outside the building in accordance with the standards is called sanitary installation. Therefore, the concept of sanitary installation covers all clean water and waste water installations.

Since the sanitary system directly concerns human health, the entire system as a whole must have certain standards. To summarize these standards briefly:

Plumbing standards

– Reaching the flats and workplaces without mixing with any liquid,

– Adjusting the amount and pressure of water according to the number of devices,

– Continuously transferring the waste water to the sewage system outside the building in a way that does not harm health,

– Selecting and laying the pipes in the entire installation in accordance with the quality standards, the system is not damaged during flexing,

Accordingly, it can be said that the odor and insects in the sewage system do not pass into the building and the pipes do not leak air, gas and water as basic standards.
