When most people think about plumbing they only ever let their imagination stretch as far as their toilet, maybe the shower or even their dishwasher or kitchen sink. But there are lots of different types of plumbing systems in use in your home at any one time. Each one of these is then responsible for controlling the inflow or outflow of gas or water from and to different parts of your property. It doesn’t really matter whether or not you own the property or simply rent it having a solid understanding of what your plumbing is all about is invaluable to you, your family and your business. This is particularly true when it comes to dealing with the flood of cowboy plumbers that are out there – many of whom are just chancing their arm when you hire them. If you know the basics of a plumbing system you’ll be able to spot the fact they’re conning you far earlier in the process – knowledge is always power in these situations.

Of the various types of plumbing there are in your home the first is potable water which is basically your tap water, the water in your toilet and the same water that’s supplied to your dishwasher or washing machine. This water can come from wells or a public water supply system. Without a potable water supply system you wouldn’t have clean drinking water or water suitable for use in washing.

Next up is the type of plumbing known as the drainage venting system. Potable water is the water coming into your home and drainage venting is the system that takes all the waste away from your home so it includes the waste from your toilet, drains and sinks.

So as you can see there’s a definite need for distinctly separate plumbing systems in any home because if they got mixed up…well…the results would be undesirable.
