Top 3 Reasons to Choose Siphonic Roof Water Drainage Systems

One of the common problems that is encountered during the design of buildings is the drainage of water from roofs. Particularly in the case of flat surface roofs in both high rise and low rise buildings. Nowadays, in most parts of the world, there has been a shift towards siphonic roof drainage systems as these systems are more efficient when it comes to managing rainwater on rooftops. If you are considering the installation of roof drainage systems, then here are the top 3 reasons why you should choose siphonic drainage systems:

1.    Siphonic drainage systems are different from traditional gutters for roof water drainage systems which were employed for roof drainage as in the former, the water is drained through suction. This reduces the dependence on gravity, as a result of which there are no air blockages in the pipe and the system allows for maximum drainage by optimizing the downflow of the water accumulated on the rooftop. This makes siphonic systems much more efficient.

2.    As compared to traditional gutter-based roof rainwater drainage system, the siphonic drainage system has fewer vertical downpipes which also leaves a much larger floor space free for other use. Moreover, in a siphonic drainage system, the size of the downpipes and connectors is much smaller in length as compared to the gravity-based drainage systems conventionally used in homes and buildings, which brings the benefits of reduced installation costs and also reduced load on the structure of the building.

3.    Another reason why siphonic roof water drainage systems are popular when it comes to the installation of rainwater management systems is that in the former, the underground drainage within the building footprint can be virtually eliminated, and external underground drainage piping and pipe trenching can be reduced significantly. This further brings down the installation costs in of the rainwater system and make it cost-effective for the long term.

A Quick Guide To Choosing The Righ Rainwater Pipe Fittings

In many areas with heavy rainfall, there is the need to install the optimal rainwater drainage system, with the right combination of pipes and fittings to support the system. Fittings for rainwater pipes are of crucial importance as they connect the pipes to ensure seamless drainage of the excess water and transport it through the network of downpipes, thereby preventing damage to the building and the surroundings where the pipe network is installed. To ensure that you make the right choice of fittings for rainwater pipe systems, here is a brief guide: 1.        Choose lightweight fittings. Since the rainwater drainage system is installed at a suitable height, it is important to choose rainwater pipe fittings which are lightweight, thereby doing away with unnecessary expenditure on transport and labour. 2.        Since the rainwater pipe connector will be constantly exposed to water, it is important to choose materials whic...
