A home is a mixture of many things and one of them is the plumbing that supplies its fresh water and removes the waste when people are finished with it. While these two processes fall into the same construction category, they are actually very distinct. The fresh water supply is completely separated from the sewer and drainage portion with the exception of the sink, shower, tub and toilet drains. These are only connected by necessity of function.
Fresh water is supplied through a single water main. Once it enters the home it is split to fill the hot water tank and supply the cold water side of the plumbing. The hot water supply line will come from the outlet on the water heater. The whole system is pressurized by the basic water pressure from the municipal supply. In the case of a home water well system the water will be under pressure from being pumped into a storage tank or in very rare cases be pressurized by gravity. Most homes have an average water pressure between twenty and forty PSI (Pounds per Square Inch).
Installing the Plumbing in La Vergne, TN to handle these types of constant pressures requires a great level of skill.

Copper is often preferred because the joints are quickly soldered which provides an instant seal. PVC get used because it is a low cost alternative to metal-based pipes. Either provides excellent plumbing depending on the environment.
