Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book guides prospective home builders and homeowners in the essential principles of plumbing and drainage. It is by no means a long book, yet it is an important one for anyone concerned with the salubriousness of their home but does not know where to turn for expert advice. Plumbing and drainage are utilitarian elements of any structure, but this book argues they are just as important as the aesthetics and practical requirements of a structure, such as its design and its durability. As it explains, those elements have been the subject of much focus in the development of architecture as a profession, and yet plumbing and drainage can have a direct impact on the health of the occupants of a home. The book includes specific advice for homeowners on how to ensure their plumbing and drainage systems are functioning properly, and also how to plan and build a proper system when building a new home. These instructions are grounded in the history of building science and sanitation, and they are presented in an accessible and easy-to-understand fashion. This book is an essential resource for homeowners concerned with the healthfulness of their abode or anyone planning to build a new home.
