1. The furnace and water heater should be placed in the basement.

While the aforementioned tips were things you should consider while building a new house, you need to know a bit more than this. Make sure that while plumbing a new home, special care should be taken if you plan to expand the house in future. This includes considering the routing pipes and an easy access to the existing pipes. Never forget to make use of shut off valves at different points. This helps in cutting down the water supply to a particular appliance or line without shutting off the water supply to the entire house.
-Cut down the usage of expensive pipes and consider the use of CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride).
-Use pipes that have natural insulating properties.
-Bring in the use of rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene).
All of it can be taken care of, if you hire commercial plumbing Perth services. Choose wisely and build a house that gives you no trouble.
