A drain stack is not something you may hear of regularly, but it performs an incredibly important job within the plumbing of a property. The vertical pipe spans numerous floors within the building and has pipes connecting to it from both sides. These smaller pipes lead to various installed appliances and fixtures within a home, including sinks, shower installations, baths and toilets.
It is essential that the stack is kept clear so that it can carry out its purpose – removing waste water from the property. Blockages and any other issues can put your entire plumbing network under strain, so it is important to have local plumber and drainage professionals inspect your stack. Thankfully, No1 PHD operates in Brighton and surrounding areas, providing an array of services. For more information, call 01425 208031 .
As already mentioned, the pipe, also known as the drain line, runs vertically from the bottom to the top of a building. Smaller pipes are connected to the drain stack and they branch out through the plumbing network and into water fixtures that provide water to multiple appliances within your home.
Without this, your bath, shower, dishwasher, washing machine, kitchen and bathroom sinks would be affected. Each appliance is connected to the water fixtures that come from the pipes connected to the stack, which collects waste water. These substances flow through the drain and into the sewerage network.
The drain line can be seen on the exterior of the building, with the plumbing stack or vent pipe coming through the top of the roof.
