What is the difference between plumbing and drainage?
A quick rule of thumb to keep it simple: plumbing primarily deals with systems that carry water into a property, while drainage focuses on
systems that drain water away from your home or property!
What is plumbing and when should you call a plumber?
Plumbers deal with issues relating to indoor plumbing systems, including pipes, tanks, fittings, and other clean water suppliers that
are essential in keeping your home running. If you find yourself with an
overflowing bath, shower, or kitchen sink, you most likely need a plumber.
Indoor plumbing is critical for all running water appliances within your home, so leaks such as these mean that you are experiencing a problem with an internal clean water pipe. An easy indication that this is the culprit of your problem is that the water pressure within these pipes will usually cause a strong jet of water! While these issues are certainly inconvenient, they usually present minimal damage when handled correctly and can be resolved quickly when calling a plumber. Environ Drainage Services can solve these problems quickly and effectively. Call us now if you are experiencing anything like this!
What is drainage and when do you need a drainage engineer?
Drainage, on other hand, deals with the removal of wastewater away from your home in a safe manner and relies on gravity to pull waste
through the sewer pipes that run underneath your property to a treatment center
or septic tank. Any emergency drainage problems such as sewage backing into
your home or flooding from a damaged drain should be handled by a drainage
expert. Drainage services that require a drainage engineer can include
unblocking drains, unblocking toilets, fixing burst external pipes, and
replacing and relining drains. Each of these issues should be addressed as soon
as possible to avoid any further damage or recurring problems.
Maintaining a safe and efficient drainage system is so important to the overall health and hygiene of your home, and any leaks or
damage to drainage pipes can result in much greater issues if left unattended.
Mould, mildew, damage to the actual structure of the property and unpleasant
smells are just some of the problems that can arise if drainage issues are not
treated correctly by a professional drainage engineer.
Why using professional drainage experts is so important
If you find yourself dealing with drainage issues, such as emergency drain repairs or drain unblocking, it is essential to call a well trained and highly qualified drainage engineer to tackle problems as soon as they present themselves. Due to the nature of what is in these drainage pipes, issues that arise with them are often more concerning and can lead to dangerous situations if not properly taken care of. So, keep in mind that any situation that has to do with removing water from a property must be handled by a drainage specialist!
