Proper Installation and Maintenance of The Sewage System

For the proper disposal of organic and inorganic wastes generated by humans in domestic, industrial and commercial setups, a sewage system must be duly installed in the building. Sewage waste management must follow certain guidelines to prevent the leakage of the waste and foul odour which can be hazardous for people and other life in the surroundings. For this reason, it is important that the sewage system is properly installed and maintained over its service lifetime. Here are some tips for installation and maintenance of the sewage system:

1. The first step to proper installation is choosing the right pipes and fittings for the sewage system. Since there are toxins and organic material in the sewage which can damage the pipelines, it is important that pipes and fittings for the sewage system can withstand the discharge without being damaged.

2. During the installation stage, it must be kept in mind that the sewage system is installed in a manner such that it is easily accessible when the need arises. Deeply underground installations not only obstruct the air circulation of the system but also create problems when maintenance is to be carried out.

3. The sludge generated from the sewage system must be handled with due care and routine inspection must be undertaken to ensure that the entire system is functioning at optimal levels to prevent blockages and clogging in the system.

4. Disposal of sanitary items, diapers, baby wipes, cotton wool, etc. down the drainage lines can lead to blockages and clogging in the sewage system. Continuous effort must be made to prevent such disposal and in residential societies, awareness of proper methods for sewage management must be created.

5. Cleaning and other chemical products such as disinfectants, cooking oil or melted fat, garden chemicals, paints, thinners, dairy waste, medicines, etc. when poured down the drains can adversely impact the operation of the sewage system. Under no circumstances should these products and reagents be allowed to enter into the system. The same can also be accomplished by the use of traps and grease separators in the sewage system.
