Achieving Optimal Drainage & Safety With the Newest Plumbing Innovations

Achieving Optimal Drainage & Safety With the Newest Plumbing Innovations

AIA 1.0 LU/HSW, ASPE 1.0 CEU

Although drains may not be a primary thought when specifying plumbing, valuing the importance of proper drainage is essential to a building's overall safety and longevity. With proper drainage in place — both internally and externally — human and vehicular traffic surfaces are intrinsically safer and more sanitary; the building and its grounds require fewer repairs and less maintenance and downtime; and possible moisture buildup and mold is avoided. This course presents plumbing innovations that ensure proper drainage so that building owners and patrons can focus their thoughts on other business matters.
