Replacement of
sewage pipes Most of the pipelines in the apartments were installed in Soviet times. Metal pipes, so they are not corroded, covered with layers of paint, but this saved them only from the outside, and from the inside they rusted and spoiled. To date, there are many alternative materials, which replace the metal pipes in the apartment.
Stages of carrying out water pipe repair work:
- A new water supply project is being drawn up so that you can lay pipes as convenient for you;
- The required number of fasteners and pipes is calculated and purchased;
- The next step is to dismantle the old pipes;
- Now you can begin to mount a new design. The material can be polypropylene or metal plastic.
- Plastic pipes are fixed between each other using a soldering iron or fittings;
Sewerage is an important element of communications. When the drains wear out, leaks form and an unpleasant smell appears. In this case, it is necessary immediately to start repairing the sewer pipes, while performing a certain sequence of actions:
- It is necessary to begin with overlapping and replacement of the fan pipe in the apartment, the function of which is to connect the drain with atmospheric air and block unpleasant odors;
- Drawing is made so that during the assembly of the structure the slope of the pipe connected to the siphon and the central riser is formed, approximately 2 cm per 1 m of the pipe;
- When assembling, pay attention to the diameter of the elements, a ten-centimeter tube is attached to the toilet, then, using a tee, the system connects plums from shells and household appliances of smaller diameter;
- The pipe joint is made by inserting the pipe joint into the socket, which is directed in the opposite direction from the flow direction of the drains;
- The last step is to seal the fan pipe, i.e.close it with a lid.
If everything is done correctly, you will have the opportunity for many years not to worry about the functionality of the sewer system.
