  2. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_waterproofing

    The main purpose of external weeping tile is preventing water from getting into a basement. However, these pipes can become clogged or damaged, which causes excess water to put pressure on internal walls and basement floors. Water build up inside window wells, after heavy rain or snow, can lead to leaks through basement window seams.

  3. Trap primer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_primer

    A trap primer (or trap seal primer) is a plumbing device or valve that adds water to traps.The water seals in traps are needed to prevent sewer gases from entering buildings, but because this water is exposed to the air, it is subject to evaporation over time in infrequently used floor drains, leading to the release of sewer gas into the environment.

  4. Rooftop water tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_water_tower

    A rooftop water tower is a variant of a water tower, consisting of a water container placed on the roof of a tall building. This structure supplies water pressure to floors at higher elevation than public water towers. [1] As building height increases, the vertical height of its plumbing also increases.

  7. 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.

  8. Sump pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump_pump

    Sump pumps are used where basement flooding may otherwise happen, and to solve dampness where the water table is near or above the foundation of a structure. Sump pumps send water away from a location to any place where it is no longer problematic, such as a municipal storm drain, a dry well, or simply an open-air site downhill from the building (sometimes called "pumping to daylight").
