Sisäputkistot

Sisäputkistot refer to the water and wastewater piping systems located within a building. These systems are essential for providing clean water for domestic use and safely removing wastewater. The water supply side typically consists of pipes that bring fresh water from the main supply line into the building and then distribute it to various fixtures like sinks, showers, and toilets. These pipes are usually made of materials such as copper, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), or PVC (polyvinyl chloride).

The wastewater system, also known as drainage or sanitary piping, collects used water and waste from these fixtures and transports it out of the building to the municipal sewer system or a private septic system. This network includes drainpipes, waste pipes, and vent pipes. Vent pipes are crucial as they allow air into the drainage system, preventing vacuum formation and ensuring proper flow of wastewater, as well as preventing sewer gases from entering the living space.

Maintenance and proper installation of sisäputkistot are vital to prevent leaks, water damage, and health hazards. Regular inspections and adherence to building codes and regulations are important for the longevity and functionality of these internal plumbing networks. Blockages, leaks, and freezing are common issues that can arise if the systems are not properly maintained or are nearing the end of their lifespan.
