  2. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.

  3. Condensate pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensate_pump

    The output of small condensate pumps is usually routed to a sewer, plumbing drain, or the outside world via PVC plastic tubing (condensate drain line). In some locales, condensate water is not permitted to enter a sewer system and must be directed to the outside of the house, usually into the leader/gutter downspout system, or the stormwater ...

  4. Dehumidifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehumidifier

    The condensate should not be directed into a septic system of a house, because it does not need special treatment as effluent. When the height of the air handler (containing the evaporator) is above the level of the surface drains used for rainwater, the condensate drain lines can often be routed into them. Air handlers located below grade ...

  5. Damp (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

    A high proportion of damp problems in buildings are caused by ambient climate dependent factors of condensation and rain penetration. [1] Capillary penetration of fluid from the ground up through concrete or masonry is known as "rising damp" and is governed by the shape and porosity of the construction materials through which this evaporation ...

  6. Drain (plumbing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain_(plumbing)

    A drain cover is a cover with holes (e.g. a manhole) or a grating used to cover a drain, to prevent unwanted entry of foreign objects, or injury to people or animals. It allows drainage of liquids but prevents entry from large solid objects, and thus acts as a coarse filter. A sink drain cover is a drain cover used to cover the sink drain.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Condensing_boiler

    The condensing heat exchangers are prone to fail due to many issues, amongst them, particulate matter getting trapped in them (even with filters) and causing heat hot spots is a major problem. The condensate itself is highly acidic and causes cement in drains to crumble -so collapsing drains . No worry, call the drain man, GDP will increase.

    They also conduct their own in-house testing, which can include extensive swabbing of surfaces, raw ingredients, finished products and areas where listeria is known to thrive, such as floor drains.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewer_gas

    An old sewer gas chimney in Stonehouse, Plymouth, England, built in the 1880s to disperse sewer gas above residents. Sewer gas is a complex, generally obnoxious smelling mixture of toxic and nontoxic gases produced and collected in sewage systems by the decomposition of organic household or industrial wastes, typical components of sewage.
