What is a wet wall?

Wet wall is a structural wall designed to place plumbing pipes for accessories such as washbasins, dishwashers and toilets. Operating water supply equipment through the wall tends to be expensive and their consolidation in one wet wall can increase efficiency, reduce construction costs and facilitate problems with repairing plumbing problems in the future, because only one wall needs to be accessed. In new home design, architects and suppliers can think in advance in terms of placing accessories to use one wet wall for shared accessories. Under the wall, the pipes are connected to the water and sewer pipes or feeds it into the septic tank if the sewer service is not available. The pipes rise inside the wall and can supply water or take away the waste from both sides. Between planned bathrooms and kitchens is usually built a wet wall, allowing them to share the wall and all accessories requiring water will be sorted on both sides.

When building a wet wall is evenAnd take some care because it may be necessary to move or adjust the beams to create space for pipes. The wall is usually not structural and beams are mainly used to support the wall, not the entire building. Special building materials can be used and sometimes required so that some retention is available in case of leakage. For example, a leaf rock can have a special design that can withstand soaked. The wet wall will also need protective spraying in the room to prevent direct water from being infected.

In the reconstruction, the supplier may recommend considering the design of the wet wall if it is no longer used. Wall sharing can reduce the cost of reconstruction, which is important for many people. It may require movement more than expected, but also comes with some benefits. For example, a hot water line can be shortened, shortening the waiting time to warm water when people turn on taps.

When problems with plumbing devices are developing and people needAccess to the pipes in the walls, it will be in a central location, which will be very easier to service. This can reduce the expenditure associated with the repair of plumbing. In the case of leaks, the cost of repairing water damage will also be reduced as the potential leakage area is reduced.
