Signs That Indicate Your Sanitary Pipes and Fittings Need to Be Replaced

Your house needs routine maintenance and repairs to keep it comfortable and safe for you and your loved ones. One of the systems which forms an integral part of your house building is the drainage and sewage network composed of sanitary pipes and fittings. Over time, this system might need replacing and to do so efficiently, you must know whether you need to replace the entire system, (for instance replacing copper or galvanized pipes with PVC sanitary fittings and pipes)  or if you can hold off by just carrying out some repairs. If the damage is too extensive, there will be warning signs and it is best to pay heed to them. Read on to know about the signs which indicate if your sanitary pipes and fittings need replacing:

1.Running toilets: If your toilets are in a state of continuous leakage and repeated repairs and unclogging are of no help, it could be a sign that the sewage or water supply pipes of the house are leaking or damaged and in need of replacement.

2.Clogged and slow drains: Repeated clogging of the drains in and around the house could also be a sign of obstructions in the pipe network. This could be due to a number of reasons, including vegetation root infiltration or leakages. However, if no cause can be determined and the clogging persists, then it is ideal that you replace the entire pipe network.

3.Low water pressure: If your house has cast iron pipes, then they can become corroded over time, which leads to deposits of rust and other material on their inner lining. This can obstruct the smooth flow of water to the house and lead to low water pressure. First check the sinks, taps, and other fittings for any obstructions and if there aren’t any, go for an overhaul of the pipe system.

4.Leaking pipes and seepage in the house: Continuously leaking pipes and faucet in the house can be caused by damaged or cracked pipes. If the leakage is severe, it can also cause seepage in the walls of the house. If there are walls in the house which show signs of seepage, it is a warning sign to repair the sanitary pipes.

 Access to clean and safe water is a basic necessity for the people on the planet. Water from different sources must be first treated to make it fit for use in homes and other buildings. This is accomplished through the installation of water treatment systems. Since the water can be from different sources, it can have different levels of contaminants which will need to be removed or filtered out for the different purposes that the water is to be employed in. The water treatment system has a number of different stages through which the raw water must be processed. These stages are as follows: 1.        Coagulation: The raw water is collected in a reservoir or water tank, after which, coagulation is carried out to remove the majority of the contaminants. Chemicals may be added for this purpose which remove the fine particles by combining them with the heavy particles in the water which settle at the bottom of the tank by the action of gravity. 2.        Flocculation: In this step, t

Water conservation has become a key agenda for the world today. Given the predicted shortages and the scarcity being faced in many parts of the world at present, saving and recycling water can serve as a measure to ensure everyone gets access to this natural resource. One of the ways this can be done is by the installation of a wastewater management system. A wastewater management system recycles the water disposed off from households, from toilets, rainwater & stormwater runoff, kitchen sinks, etc. and makes it safe for disposal to larger water bodies or for reuse in irrigation of crops. There are several benefits of installing wastewater management systems, which are listed as follows:
