Knowing the basics of the system could allow you to minimize the damage in case of a plumbing emergency, before your plumber arrives at the scene. With a basic grasp of the system, you can also accurately explain the situation at hand whenever you contact your plumbing contractor for help.
So what is a residential plumbing system comprised of?
Sinks, tubs, faucets, toilets and showers are all examples of home fixtures. Whereas pipes carry fresh water to all fixtures, drain pipes remove wastewater away from them.
While each fixture presents its own particular plumbing problems, depending on its structure and function, it is important to remember that in case of a leak or a pipe break in any of the fixtures, you should first check whether there's a shutoff valve next to the fixture itself, and then turn it off.
To avoid fixture related problems, consult your professional plumber about regular plumbing maintenance of each of the fixtures or of any other home appliances which require regular water supply.
