This method makes use of a high velocity stream of water to excavate

requires some type of pump, either motor or hand‐powered, of
reasonable capacity, as well as a supply of water. It is possible to separate
the water and the excavated material in a settling pool or tank and to
reuse the water, thus minimizing the quantity required. Since this method

SANITARY SYSTEM PROBLEMS
Trap Seal Loss
Trap Seal Loss
1. Direct Siphonage or Self Siphonage ‐ occurs in unvented traps that
serve oval bottom fixtures such as lavatories. Such fixtures discharge
their contents rapidly and do not have the final small trickle of water
needed to reseal the trap. When the plug is withdrawn, the water flows
out fast and completely fills the waste pipe. The water displaces the air
that normally fills the waste pipe, lowering the atmospheric pressure
on the discharge side of the trap. Atmospheric pressure on the fixture
side forces the water through the trap, and the seal is lost.

2. Indirect or Momentum Siphonage ‐ caused by a large discharge of
water from a fixture installed one or more floors above the affected
fixture. This large discharge tends to form a slug in the stack; and as
this slug passes the takeoff of the fixture below it, air is pulled out of
the waste line on the lower fixture. This reduces the pressure on the
discharge side of the trap. There is no reseal until there is a discharge
from the lower fixture.

3. Back Pressure. Back pressure within a sanitary drainage system is
caused by simultaneous fixture use that overtaxes the plumbing
system, causing a positive pressure that affects the water seal of a
trap. A large flow may completely fill the pipe, causing the
compressed atmospheric gases to offer resistance because they
cannot slip past the flow of the water and exhaust at a roof terminal.
As the water falls, the pressure increases and compresses the air, and
the trap seal blows out of the fixture .

4. Capillary Action ‐ Loss of trap seal by capillary action is caused by a
foreign object lodged in the trap. The object acts as a wick and carries
the water from the trap over the outlet side into the waste pipe until
the seal is ineffective. Rags, string, lint, and hair commonly cause this
problem.

5. Evaporation. Loss of trap seal from evaporation only occurs when a
fixture is not used for a long time. The rate of evaporation in a trap
depends on the humidity and temperature of the atmosphere. A trap
in a warm, dry place will lose water seal by evaporation more rapidly
than one in a cool, damp place. Ventilation does not solve the
problem. The use of a deep‐seal trap is the best solution. One
disadvantage is that solid wastes collect in the bottom of the trap and
clog the pipe

Storm Drain
This is the portion of the plumbing system which conveys rain or storm
water to a suitable terminal. This is usually discharged into a street
gutter conveyed by a public drain system and carried to some natural
drainage terminal such as lakes or rivers.

Size of Storm Drain
The following factors should be considered when determining the size
of the storm drain:
of the storm drain:
1. Gauging the rainfall, constant, short duration or heavy shower
2. The varying roof area and its slope including the distance of water
travel before it reaches the conductors or downspouts of the roof
lb f i h h d d f h f
3. Water drain is faster on higher pitched roofs hence, requires a larger
drainage pipe than that of a flat roof

4. The height of the building contributes to the high velocity of water in
ib h hi h l i f i
the vertical conductor and accelerate the flow of water entering the
storm drain.
