Plumbing Basics in the Bathroom Home Repair Articles | July 23 Wholesale Hats , 2010 Plumbing is one of the most important parts of how a bathroom works and functions. Knowing the general idea of how the system works may help you understand how and why problems in the bathroom occur and what is necessary to fix the issue.
There are two main functions for plumbing in the bathroom of any home: fresh, clean water needs to get in and waste and used water needs to be removed.
Water Comes In
Water needs to get in. The sink, shower andor tub and the toilet all need water to work efficiently and do their jobs. Plumbing brings the water from the source, through a meter to measure usage Wholesale Hoodies , and into the home. The hot water heater warms the water for the sink and tub while other water bypasses this step resulting in the cold water setting.

If a problem arises with the draining of the shower and not the sink, the problem is more than likely to be contained in the pipes in and around the sink. With drain problems in both the sink and the shower, the problem may be occurring farther back into the pipes and be more difficult for a homeowner to handle without professional help.
Waste Goes Out

Be sure to turn the valve completely and tightly to ensure no water is able to come through the system. In older homes Wholesale Jerseys , there may only be one place to turn the water off for the entire house. If this is the case, look for the valve under the sink in the kitchen.
