|
There are three major types of plumbing repair to address malfunctions that can occur with plumbing systems in most western households: repair of a leak, repair of the mechanical parts of a plumbing fixture like a faucet or valve, and clearing of a clog in the drainage system. Leaks can occur anywhere in the system for a variety of reasons. Mechanical malfunctions occur primarily when valves don't operate properly and the flow of water is not properly regulated, and often evidenced by water leaks. Clogs generally occur in the drainage side of the system, and become apparent when water doesn't properly drain from a sink or a toilet. Any type of plumbing malfunction can pose a risk to health or property and should be attended to immediately.
Most plumbing systems consist of a supply side, which carries water from a central supply, and a drainage side, which drains water once used, together with any waste. The supply side carries water under pressure through a system of non-toxic tubes that can withstand the water pressure. When tubes are joined, the joints are secured by one of a number of methods, such as soldering, compression joints, or solvent welding. The drainage side consists of wider pipes that carry used water and waste products to the sewer system.
