Residential property management does not allow balcony floor drain to drain the washing water. Why?

When we decorate the house, we need to consider the placement of furniture and electrical appliances in advance in the preliminary overall design stage, especially for the smaller units with a total area, we must be particularly cautious. In order to make effective use of space, most people will consider putting the washing machine on the balcony, which will not occupy the indoor space, and it is convenient to dry the clothes after washing. However, most real estate properties are not allowed to do so. What is the specific reason? Now tell everyone.

1, need to know the difference between sewage well and rainwater well.

To know why the property does not allow us to discharge washing water on the balcony, we must first understand the design of drainage wells in residential buildings. Sewage treatment in residential quarters generally has two pipes flowing to different sewage wells, one is a sewage well and the other is a rainwater well. The dirty water in the two sewage wells also has different treatment methods.

The water entering the sewage well is the sewage produced after our daily life, that is, the water flowing into the kitchen, bathroom and other places. This kind of water is generally polluted and has impurities. It is necessary to enter the sewage treatment plant through the sewage well for some advanced purification treatment of relevant levels, and then discharge or use it without polluting the environment. Rainwell is easy to understand, that is, it melts the water flowing into nature in rainy or snowy days. This kind of water is clean and pollution-free, and can be directly discharged or utilized, such as municipal greening irrigation. Some properties also use it to water the green plants in the park or collect and store them as fire water.

2. Washing water belongs to sewage and cannot be discharged casually.

The water used for washing clothes by washing machine belongs to the water that needs to flow into the sewage well, because it contains some chemicals such as laundry detergent and softener, and most balconies in residential areas are not equipped with sewage pipes, usually only rainwater pipes. The water from the washing machine cannot flow into the rainwater pipe and needs to be purified in the sewage plant. If it enters the rainwater pipe and is directly discharged or used, it will pollute the environment, so most residential properties are not allowed to discharge washing water on the balcony.

3. Some residential buildings also have different drainage designs.

Of course, some communities will have different sewage pipe designs. They set up two drainage floor drains on the balcony, one to the rainwater pipe and the other to the sewage pipe. In this case, we only need to consult the property and distinguish between the two kinds of pipes before decoration, and directly connect the drainage pipe of the washing machine to the sewage pipe. For buildings of this design, residential properties usually do not prohibit the balcony from discharging washing machine water. Therefore, before buying a new house, if you have to put the washing machine on the balcony, try to ask the developer about the balcony drainage design.

The sewage pipes in the residential area are divided into rain wells and sewage wells. After knowing what kind of water washing water belongs to, you should understand why most properties do not allow balcony to discharge washing water. On the one hand, it is the regulation of drainage, on the other hand, it is also for the recycling of water bodies, and the most important thing is to protect the natural environment.
