There are many types of plumbing around the world, of which there are three main types. The types of plumbing are:

Hanging Plumbing (American Plumbing)

The method of installing suspended plumbing, American plumbing, is established by leaving a hole for the drainage pipes inside the bathroom floor during concrete pouring, so that it crosses from it to the lower floor and runs under the concrete ceiling and above the gypsum ceiling until it exits to the main drainage pipes. It is characterized by flexibility in design, ease of maintenance, and the lowest cost maintenance where a gypsum maintenance hole is made in the gypsum board ceilings.

Cons of hanging plumbing

The high cost of installing a suspended plumbing is the most common con, as well as the transmission of the sound of water flow when using the flush siphon. Any possible leakage will lead to damage to the gypsum board ceiling. In general, suspended plumbing is recommended in workplaces and public buildings, and if you have skylights close to the bathroom or short distances for drainage extensions, it is recommended to have plumbing above the landing.

Plumbing above the landing

Plumbing above the bathroom floor landing is the most common in most buildings. It is installed during the roof casting by making a bathroom floor landing that allows the installation of sewage extensions. It is better than buried plumbing in the event of a leak, because the bathroom tiles will be removed and the leakage will be fixed or the drainage pipes will be replaced.

Buried plumbing

It is installed when sewage pipes are extended inside the ceiling and during the placement of reinforcing steel. It is considered the least requested at the present time due to the difficulty of maintaining it if a leak occurs, in addition to its high maintenance cost.

These are the three most popular types of plumbing.

Modern plumbing

Modern plumbing is based on the idea of a central heater or central boiler with a central water tank on the roof of the building. The connection is made from the heater and the tank by extending the best types of water pipes, which are called pix pipes to a central panel in each bathroom or kitchen. Hot and cold water is distributed from the central panel to each device or mixer independently and without connections or elbows, as the pix pipes are closer to the hoses due to their flexibility, which ensures that the flow of any hot or cold water is not affected in the event that more than one water source is opened at the same time and also prevents any possible leakage.

Modern plumbing also relies on drainage pipes of high quality and is characterized by thermal ironing, which ensures that there are no risks of leakage. These pipes are excellent in suspended plumbing because they are soundproof.

It is the recommended type of plumbing for a project and a safe, long-term investment to add to a home. It has less plumbing malfunctions and the lowest maintenance expenses.

So save yourself the trouble trying alone to install your plumbing systems at home and find a professional Plumber.
