Probably everyone has heard the peculiar noises running from sewer pipes. The flowing waste water can be an irritant to the ear and cause discomfort. Peace and safety are important aspects of comfort for building users. So-called "low-noise" sewers can be a guarantee.

Where do the noises from the pipes in the sewer system come from?

Nowadays, common sewer pipes are manufactured from plastic, which is lightweight. Water and sewage usually fall violently, bouncing off the pipe walls. The flow then vibrates and, together with the air, carries an acoustic wave into the environment. Unwanted sounds arise as a result of insufficient stabilisation of the lightweight pipe. Ordinary, commonly used pipes for internal sewerage systems do not dampen the sound of overflowing sewage as well. Such situations can sometimes be a nuisance, especially in buildings where the walls are thin and transmit sound waves. Low-noise sewers can absorb unpleasant noises to a great extent.

Where is it worth using low-noise sewers?

In order to avoid unwanted noise, internal drains should be carefully soundproofed. Low-noise pipes are made of sound-absorbing materials that absorb sound waves. This is why they are installed in buildings where noise protection is very important, such as in multi-family buildings, hotels, laboratories, offices or hospitals.
Low-noise sewer components can be used to build a complete sewer system, starting from the approaches to the sanitary appliances, through the sewer risers to the connection to the external sewer. Most of the noise heard from the sewer system originates in the sewer riser.

What is the role of low-noise sewers?

Low-noise sewer pipes are designed for the construction of internal gravity sewer systems. The purpose of low-noise systems is to drain waste and domestic sewage in a safe, quiet and odour-free manner. Low-noise sewerage systems can only fulfil these tasks if the components of the low-noise system meet all the necessary requirements for noise protection in the rooms. Pipes in various diameters and lengths, as well as fittings, are made of high-quality polypropylene. Manufacturers further reinforce and refine the pipes to ensure that the system has the right mechanical properties and can withstand extreme temperatures. It is also important to use special clamps to fix the system to the walls. Unlike normal clamps, clamps in low-noise sewers should contain rubber to dampen vibrations caused by the falling waste stream in the pipes.

Why choose an AmaxPro internal drainage system

The AmaxPro internal sewer system is an attractively priced proposition for any development, while meeting the requirements of acoustic and building standards. Pipes are produced by extrusion, and fittings are manufactured by injection moulding. The individual layers of AmaxPro low-noise pipes are extruded together, resulting in a three-layer structural pipe. The reduction in noise and the exceptional strength of the sewer is achieved through the use of suitable minerals added during pipe manufacture. Each layer of pipe has a unique mechanical and performance characteristic.

Compared to normal indoor sewers, the AmaxPro system is extremely resistant to mechanical damage during transport and installation, as well as long storage. Under the influence of weathering, the individual components do not change their structure.
AmaxPro also guarantees the tightness of connections during operation even at temperatures below -10°C. In normal sewerage systems, cracks can be expected in such conditions, causing unpleasant odours to escape from the sewerage system. Another advantage of the Amaxpro low-noise system is the safe transport of hot +90°C wastewater, which does not affect the structure of the pipes. It is increasingly common practice in the construction industry to inspect sewers using cameras. Thanks to the white layer of the pipe inside, quick inspection and locating the blockage with the AmaxPro system will not be a problem.

Low-noise sewers can definitely improve living comfort. Compared to standard domestic sewage disposal elements, the reinforced low-noise system absorbs sound waves perfectly. In addition, it is extremely resistant to mechanical, environmental influences. Discerning users who value peace and security without unpleasant noises or odours should not hesitate to choose the right sewer system.
