DRAIN AND BACKWASH POOLS LEGALLY The clean-out usually is located next to the house at the point closest to the city sewer line and usually outside a bathroom or the kitchen. The safe flow rate may be less, depending on the size of the drain line, distance to the sewer main, and the condition of the pipe. Drains for showers and tubs are the first places to check. phoenix.gov /WATER/pooldrn.html   (573 words)

Diagnosing Clogged Drains & Septic System Backups: Is it a blocked drain or the septic system? - A First Step for ... When a building drain is clogged or slow, or when there is a septic system backup, it's important to determine where the problem lies, since the repair steps can be quite different and costs can vary widely. Un-clogging a drain line, or excavating and repairing a crushed or broken drain line outside the building is typically a much less costly repair than replacement of a septic tank, drain field, or seepage system. Again, a blocked drain line exiting a septic tank, or a failure in the distribution box (connecting the septic tank to the network of drainfield lines, seepage pits or galleys) the repair needed may be local and modest in expense. www.inspect-ny.com /septic/septicdiag1.htm   (1940 words)

French drain tile drainage systems sump pumps French drains are a drainage tile system in a trench surrounded by gravel. These drains would either empty away from the home through an outside underground pipe leading down slope away from the house, ultimately to daylight. For instance, some basements do not have any floor drains because the sewer system exits the home at a higher elevation than floor level. www.french-drain-tile.com   (559 words)

Drain Flies - ENT/rsc-30 Drain flies (also known as "moth flies" or "filter flies") are a common nuisance in/around homes and commercial buildings, including sewage treatment plants. The most effective method to correct (or to prevent) drain fly problems is to clean toilets, drainpipes and traps to eliminate any gelatinous rotting, organic matter, thereby eliminating the larval food source. It is best to remove the drain trap and use a plumber's "snake" in clogged drains to dislodge the gelatinous material in the drains. www.ces.ncsu.edu /depts/ent/notes/Urban/drainfly.htm   (1172 words)

Drain cleaner and grease trap treatment - Drainbo the enviromentally safe solution If you are on a septic system, you should know that drain cleaners are hard on your system as they kill the microbial bacteria which are necessary to the workings of your septic tank. Boiling water or a handful of baking soda and half cup of vinegar poured down the drain weekly is at least as effective as a chemical drain cleaner and much, much safer for you and the environment. If a chemical drain cleaner has done nothing to help your clog and you still have standing water, then there is no reasonable choice except to call a professional to fix the clogged and now contaminated drain. www.drainbo.com /index.html   (528 words)

Drain Data French drains, a form of subsurface drain, utilizes a buried perforated pipe installed in a gravel bed with a filter sock or geotextile fabric envelope lining the trench. Perforations in smooth wall drain pipe and coextruded dual wall corrugated pipe are small diameter holes located in rows on one side of the pipe which should always face downward to prevent soil from infiltrating the pipe. Runoff water collected in the drain is discharged to bottom or end outlets, or catch basins, all of which are connected to drain pipe. www.capbrick.com /drain_data.htm   (1872 words)

Brain drain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A brain drain or human capital flight is an emigration of trained and talented individuals ("human capital") to other nations or jurisdictions, due to conflicts, lack of opportunity, or health hazards where they are living. Spokesmen for the Royal Society of London coined the expression “brain drain” to describe the outflow of scientists and technologists to the United States and Canada in the early 1950s. For example, Canadian conservatives often claim there is a drain from Canada to the United States, especially in the financial, software, aerospace, healthcare and entertainment industries, due to perceived higher wages and lower income taxes in the U.S., despite some statistical evidence to the contrary. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Brain_drain   (1756 words)

Drain Flies, HYG-2071-97 Adult drain flies are tiny (1/5 to 1/6 inch long), fuzzy, dark or grayish insects with the body and wings densely covered with hairs. Drain flies do not bite humans but may become a nuisance by their presence in large populations. Caustic drain cleaners may also be used, although they are not as effective as other means and must NEVER be followed with bleach since Chlorine gas can be released if the two mix in the drain line. ohioline.osu.edu /hyg-fact/2000/2071.html   (1195 words)

Finance & Development, June 1999 - How Extensive Is the Brain Drain? One important implication of the brain drain is that investment in education in a developing country may not lead to faster economic growth if a large number of its highly educated people leave the country. In South America, the country with by far the largest brain drain is Guyana, from which more than 70 percent of individuals with a tertiary education have moved to the United States; for the rest of the region, the immigration rates for this educational group are much lower. Among the remaining countries, the extent of the brain drain to all OECD members is substantial—and it increases significantly compared with the U.S. data—for the Islamic Republic of Iran, Korea, and, to a lesser extent, the Philippines. www.imf.org /external/pubs/ft/fandd/1999/06/carringt.htm   (2528 words)

Drain Cleaner From Goodway Chemical drain cleaners use extremely corrosive chemicals to clean drains by eating through materials such as hair, soap, grease, etc. These drain cleaners can be harmful and require careful handling and storage.

Filter Drain - design of side drains, bottom drains, and underdrains For the side drain cross-section geometry, the change of seepage areas of the trench and the change of seepage lengths for each water level increment analyzed are calculated and adjusted by the program using the initial geometry of the trench specified by the user. In some cases, when the single drain is excessively long and hydraulically inefficient, it is better to separate the drain into two equal sections and connect them to the outfall structure, effectively decreasing the length to 1/2 and improving the hydraulic grade line of the overall drain system. If the drain pipe is not submerged at the point of discharge, this value shall be equal to the invert elevation of the pipe or lower, and it will not be used in the calculations. www.scisoftware.com /products/filter_drain_details/filter_drain_details.html   (4925 words)

Guidelines for Drain Disposal of Chemicals Campus interior drains (and several outside drains) are connected to sanitary sewer systems, and their effluent drains to the EBMUD water pollution control plant. Storerooms that contain floor drains routed to the sanitary sewer should have the floor drains plugged at all times, except when floor drains are needed (for example, when floors are mopped). Drain disposal restrictions and spill discharge notification requirements are also posted through the use of sink stickers, which are required for laboratory, shop, and facility chemical use areas. www.ehs.berkeley.edu /pubs/guidelines/draindispgls.html   (5149 words)

Frequently asked questions at CCE - Drain Flies or Moth Flies The drain flies may go through the life cycle in 1 to 3 weeks and the adults can live for about 2 weeks after emerging. One suggestion to monitor for flies coming up through drains is to tape a plastic bag loosely over the drain and vent hole of the sink, at night when the sink will not be used for a period of time. If they are breeding indoors in drains, removal of the scum in pipes and the sediment in traps is the first step in control. www.entomology.cornell.edu /Extension/DiagnosticLab/IDLFS/DrainFlies/DrainFlies.html   (973 words)

ConsumerReports.org - Drain cleaners 11/06: Clogged drain, plunger Chemical drain cleaners are among the most dangerous household products--hardly a shocker, since these lye-based formulas are meant to dissolve plugs of grease, soap, hair, and ground-up food. Our advice is to invest $75 or so assembling a clog-clearing kit with one each of the mechanical cleaners listed in Types, so you’re never forced to resort to a bottle of chemical goop purchased in a panic from the corner store. As with plungers, it’s critical that the mouth of the device be sealed against the mouth of the drain so that pressure is directed toward the clog and not back out toward you. www.consumerreports.org /cro/home-garden/cleaning-supplies/drain-cleaners/overview/1106_drain_ov_1.htm   (898 words)
