When we install plumbing drain pipes, they must not be laid in a straight, level line instead, they need a slight slope (called a gradient or fall). This slope allows wastewater to flow smoothly by gravity. If the pipe is straight and level, water and waste will sit inside the pipe, causing: Slow drainage Blockages Bad smells #cleanwater #meflixplumbingwork #installation #plumbing
