What are the different types of plumbing systems?

The different types of plumbing systems that are found in both residential and commercial buildings are as follows: - Drain-Waste-Interceptor-Sewer-Water-tank-Junction box. Each type serves a different purpose. They are discussed below in detail:

Drain-waste system

This type of plumbing system is also known as the soil and waste system. It is found in areas where the soil does not contain enough water to support plant growth because of the climate or the type of soil is sandy or low in organic content. This type of system consists of a pipe that drains water from the building’s kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, utility room or any other location that contains floor drains. The soil waste system also includes a septic tank that separates organic materials such as kitchen waste, food scraps and toilet paper from water. The water from the septic tank is then discharged into the soil where it decomposes naturally. The rest of the water from the waste system drains into a nearby stream, creek or river.

Interceptor system

This system is commonly used in areas with a high water table that results in a high risk of sewage contamination in nearby drinking water sources. It consists of a pipe that connects the building’s sewer system with a nearby stream or river. The interceptor system includes a storage tank, which is used to temporarily store untreated sewage. The tank is usually located above ground near the point where the sewage enters the interceptor system.The discharge pipe from the tank is connected to the interceptor system. The interceptor system also includes a discharge pipe, which is connected to the sewer system and a nearby waterway.

This type of system consists of a pipe that connects the building’s kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, utility room or any other location that contains floor drains. The sewage that drains from the building enters the sewer system and is transported to a nearby sewage treatment facility.The sewage then flows into a nearby waterway.

Water tank system

This system is used in areas where the soil does not contain enough water to support plant growth because of the climate or the type of soil is sandy or low in organic content. This type of system consists of a water tank that is located in a nearby area where the soil is suitable for gardening.The water tank is connected to a pipe that is connected to the building’s kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, utility room or any other location that contains floor drains. The water from the tank flows into the pipe and is pumped into the soil. The water is pumped from the tank to avoid contamination due to evaporation.
