Electrical & Plumbing

A home/building would not be complete without an electrical and plumbing system. The electrical system serves as the power source that provides the structure with the necessary energy to perform All the task required of it; whereas the plumbing system controls the flow of water that enters and exits the structure. Together the electrical and plumbing systems control the flow and distribution of currents through any structure built that requires the use of power and water.

The electrical system is composed of internal switches, outlets, electrical boxes, household wiring, panels, and external meter and incoming power lines. For electricity to enter your home or building the power is initially supplied from a power plant that is then transferred to a transformer that transfers it to a transmission sub station. From there the electrical current enters the distribution substation to flow into the transformers that are near your home/building and then to where you are to power everything that is plugged into the electrical system.

The plumbing system contains a network of pipes that allows pressurized fresh water to enter homes and buildings via a main supply line, as well as, drain pipes that are responsible for the draining of waste water. The main components of the plumbing system are pipes, traps and vents. There are two types of pipes: water supply pipes and drain-waste-vent pipes. The drain traps are used to prevent backflow within the drain-waste-vent system of the home or building. Vents enable air to enter the drain pipe to assist with draining; vents are a part of the drain-waste-vent system that ensures that waste enters the sewer and gases are released via the vent stack.
