clock to serve the residents. Some of these systems are



*Electrical system

*Plumbing system

*Security systems

* etc...

Out of these the plumbing systems is primarily divided into water intake and drainage. All those points that take in water and throw or

carry the waste water out of the building, follow a system.

Every single element of this entire plumbing system has to be 100% "water tight". By water tight I mean leak proof. When a pipe starts to leak, it happens usually at joints. The leaking of joints can happen because of two reasons.

1) The pipe is carrying more water than what it is designed for. Because of this the water flowing inside extra pressure from inside. And the only possible weak point is at joints.

2) The joinery of pipes is itself weak at the time of installation of pipe.

* A plumbing contractor must first understand the various standard diameters of the pipes required for the type of service the pipe

provides.

For example the water intake pipe has a lower diameter than a drainage pipe. Also the material of both the pipes is different. It can range from PVC to cast iron.

* If you are planning to hire a plumbing contractor service, ask for a quotation before the work starts.

* A good plumbing contractor will always give you alternative solutions for a given problem to be solved. These alternatives can be with

respect to budget alternatives or material alternatives.

* Always hire a licensed plumber. A licensed plumber is always a pre-qualified professional from the government of the country in which

you reside. most countries have such kind of certification available for professionals.
