Drainage system
Building drainage is the system installed in a building to collect and move
waste water by gravity through drain pipes into a public sewer.
Types of Pipes Used in
Drainage System

1 Waste stack 2 Soil stack

3 Vent pipe 4 Rainwater Pipe

 Types of Pipes Used in
Drainage System
1 Waste stack

• 4 inches diameter pipe.

• Waste water from bath-tub, basin, shower, kitchen etc. go
through this pipe.

Different size of waste water pipe at different place

• Floor trap to waste stack – 4 inches.

• Basin to floor trap – 1.25 inch.
• Shower/bath tub to floor trap – 1.5 inches.
• Kitchen sink to floor trap – 2 inches.

Components of a Drainage System
Drains

Drains, such as French drains, collect and redirect water away from the property.

Catch Basins

Catch basins capture debris and prevent it from entering the drainage system.

Grates and Covers

Grates and covers provide access to drains and prevent debris from clogging the system.
Design Considerations for a Drainage
System
1 Slope and Gradient

The slope and gradient of the land determine the direction and flow rate of water.

2 Soil Permeability

The permeability of the soil affects how quickly water can be absorbed and drained.

3 Rainfall Intensity

The intensity of rainfall determines the capacity and size of the drainage system.
Common Drainage Problems and Their
Solutions
Clogging of Drains

Regular cleaning and inspection can prevent drain clogs and ensure smooth water flow.

Standing Water Issues

Use appropriate grading and add additional drainage elements to address standing water problems.

Runoff from Neighboring Properties

Install proper boundary drainage systems to manage excess water from adjacent properties.
Conclusion
A well-designed drainage system is crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy
environment. By considering the factors and implementing the right components,
water can be effectively managed, ensuring the longevity of your property.
