NEW CONSTRUCTION PLUMBING DEFECTS(Click on pictures for enlarged view) |
|
| ABS plastic DWV piping must be protected by nailing plates on the framing to prevent homeowners from puncturing the pipes when nailing objects to a wall. |
 |
| Pipes must be strapped in place to reduce pipe hammer noises in the home and to prevent movement and resonating. |  |
| Pipes can be secured with blocking, but the blocking must be properly installed to support the pipes. |  |
| Running copper pipe along or through other metals can lead to corrosion from dissimilar metals. Grommets or standoffs should be used to isolate the pipe. |  |
| Kinked plumbing pipes restrict water flow and over time the water passing over the damaged area can wear a pin hole leading to leakage in the future. |  |
| A new type of plastic plumbing is being used in some areas called "PEX". The extruded polyethylene pipe requires supports for tight bends and is often poorly installed. |  |
