Drains

Drains are essential plumbing fixtures designed to remove excess water and waste from various areas, such as sinks, showers, bathtubs, and floors. They typically consist of a metal or plastic grate covering an opening in the plumbing system, allowing water to flow through while trapping larger debris to prevent clogs. Drains are equipped with traps, which are U-shaped pipes that hold a small amount of water to block sewer gases from entering the building. They come in various shapes, sizes, and configurations to suit different plumbing needs and aesthetic preferences. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the grate and removing accumulated debris, is crucial to ensure proper drainage and prevent plumbing issues.
