Since they are hidden behind the walls and in the floors, drain lines often represent the most neglected parts of our homes. We start to acknowledge them only when they are not able to fulfill their purpose anymore and begin to cause trouble.

How Do Most Kitchen Drains Work:

Most drainage systems in the kitchen are essentually the same whether septic or sewage. Supply systems rely on pressure but most drainage systems do. Because the drainage systems pitch downwards it causes waste to leave the system. Gravity pulls the waste along. The sewer line continues this downward flow to a sewage treatment facility or a septic tank.

Drains can be very complex including vents, traps and cleanouts . The vents sticking up from the roof of your house allow air to enter the drainpipes. If there were no air supply coming from the vents, wastewater would not flow out properly and the water in the traps would need to be siphoned away.
