PLUMBING DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES.

A plumbing designer is an engineer that is charge of planning the picture of plumbing in building, reservoirs and other situations dealing with water. In the process they will work with architects, engineers, plumbers, and other designers. Their charge being to design the most efficient and effective plumbing systems in the new structures. The materials they choose on include pipes, tanks, valves, pumps and other means of channelling water as needed.
Plumbing Design requires building extremely strong plumbing systems with failover. The plumbing designer must never cut corners even if encouraged to, as the end systems may cause major disaster should they fail. When it comes to this, redundancy and backup systems are a large part of the planning. Failures in plumbing design could cause many displaced persons, and maybe even fatalities.

Prevention of Plumbing Emergencies - Use of Quality Flexible Connectors

There are easier to fix plumbing fittings and accessories being sold in the plumbing market today than some year's ago.
Before now Baths, Basins, Sinks, Heaters, Toilets were usually connected with union connectors made of galvanized or steel materials. But today I congratulate people of all trades especially those who are concerned with improvement of plumbing installation.
The inventions of plastic, copper and stainless flexible connectors have added more value to do it yourself plumbing. At the same time care must be taken when selecting or purchasing any of these products because of mixtures of some fake ones among the high quality types. Fake flexible connectors have caused more harm than good in recent times.
Over seven home flooding within July to November which I attended were caused by broken flexible connectors especially at night when people are asleep, or at daytime when people are away at their places of work, with no person at home.
Imagine waking up at night to do something important, only to find your two feet into ten centimeter flood. Or assuming you get back from work just to find your apartment completely flooded. I suggest that a quality control body should be formed to supervise goods related to plumbing material manufacturing, especially those that cause home emergencies.
All flexible connectors either for water, gas and air connection must be made of superior materials and corrosion resistance.
Such materials as well must be made to be used both indoors and outdoors works and must resist the harsh effects of UV rays, weather and salt. If these precaution measures are taken as I mention, we will go a long way preventing some plumbing emergencies in homes, offices, hotels, hospitals, churches, and schools.

Plumbing Emergencies: Life Snake in the Bathrooms: Causes and Solutions

There have been several serious reports of life snakes bites in the bathrooms. The causes may be: (A) Bad building plan (B) Bad Plumbing installation. Builders should make sure that block walls are properly plastered with well mixed cement up to the ceiling level. And outer ceiling must be made of strong lasting materials that will not rotten with time to create chance for reptiles to climb into the roof. On the other hand careless plumbing installations in the house, has created loopholes for rats, lizards, frogs, toads, and even snakes to gain entrance into living apartments through the bathroom waste pipelines. My concern of such happenings adds more, but most often when people are bitten by snakes right in their rooms, and at times such bites results to serious illness and even death.
As a professional plumber, I have gone to many homes for emergencies but many a times I come across plumbing waste pipe laid into big street drainage without any wire mesh or drain trap to cover them at all.
Recently, a house wife called me for repairs which involved big rats getting into her bathroom through waste water pipeline.
Also, another white housewife, a Russian told me how a rat ran into a toilet seat and got away through the retained water in the WC trap. Some reptiles in the search of water or cool places during hot climate, always trace water from big gutters and drain pipes into bathroom especially where we have bushes, forest and swarms.
Solution:
I recommend that only qualified plumbers with years of experience should handle plumbing installations located at places mention above, materials for such jobs must be of good standard with good water seals, example are, water closets, floor drains.
All vents must be covered with stainless or plastic vent cover with tiny holes to let out air. All the baths, sinks, wash hand basin should be fixed with good resealing traps.
Never enter any dark toilet without light. Use torches where there is no electricity, where there is electricity; switch for bathroom light must be fixed before the bathroom door to enable users to light the room before entry.
Cases of snakes in homes and bathroom phase two will be continued.
