PLUMBING TERMSEVERY HOMEOWNER SHOULDKNOW
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
WHETHER YOU REQUIRE RESIDENTIAL PLUMBING INSPECTION OR REPAIR SERVICES, THERE IS IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGY YOU SHOULD KNOW. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A TRAINED PLUMBER TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS. UNDERSTANDING COMMON TERMS CAN HELP YOU WHEN WORKING WITH A PROFESSIONAL, AS IT LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD AND PROTECTS YOU FROM OVERAGE CHARGES.
WATERCLOSET1.
YOU MAY WONDER WHERE THE CLOSET OF WATER IS IN YOUR HOME. HOWEVER, THE TERM "WATER CLOSET" REFERS TO THE TOILET. IF YOU EXPERIENCE A CLOG, BACKUP, OR ANY OTHER SYSTEM
MALFUNCTION, THE PLUMBER WILL REFER TO YOUR TOILET AS A WATER CLOSET DURING REPAIRS. ALTHOUGH TOILETRELATED PROBLEMS CAN BE EASILY FIXED, PLUMBER IN PASADENA OFFERS
PROFESSIONAL PLUMBING SERVICES FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.
2.PlumbingTrap
THE PLUMBING TRAP, ALSO CALLED A PTRAP, IS USUALLY AN S OR P-SHAPED BEND IN YOUR DRAIN LINES THAT HOLDS A POOL OF WATER, PREVENTING SEWAGE SMELLS FROM INFILTRATING YOUR HOME.
FOUL SMELLS FROM THE DRAINS SHOW A WASTE BUILDUP IN THE PLUMBING TRAP, BUT BRUTE FORCE AND A PLUNGER CAN RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.
3.FIXTURE
FIXTURES ARE PLUMBING UNITS THAT PROVIDE WATER OR REMOVE WASTE, SUCH AS SINKS, SHOWERS, OR TOILETS. MOST RESIDENTIAL PLUMBING FIXTURES ARE IN THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOM. PROVIDING ROUTINE INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE TO ALL FIXTURES IS IMPERATIVE, PREVENTING DEVASTATING DISASTERS IN THE LONG RUN.
4.GRAYWATER
WASTEWATER FROM YOUR HOME, NOT THE TOILET, IS CALLED GRAY WATER. THIS INCLUDES WASTEWATER DRAINING IN THE SHOWER, SINKS, AND WASHING MACHINES. GRAY WATER FLOWS INTO THE SEPTIC SYSTEM OR MUNICIPAL SEWER LINE FOR DISPOSAL. IF YOU NOTICE WASTEWATER BACKING UP IN YOUR FIXTURES, A BLOCKAGE IN THE PIPES MAY PREVENT EFFICIENT FLOW.
