Tips To Soundproof Pipes for Low Noise Drainage

Proper drainage of wastewater is of great importance for reasons of hygiene, health and sanitation. However, the loud noises that are often made by pipes as the wastewater flows through them is a major inconvenience for people in the vicinity. Be it homes or commercial establishments like hotels, restaurants, offices and the like, the loud sound of water and other liquid waste flushing down the pipes can be quite bothersome. In most conventional drainage pipes, no provision is made for reducing the noise levels of drainage which is the cause for this inconvenience. If you too are worried about loud noises of drainage, then here are some tips on how to soundproof drainage pipes:
1. The simplest method to do away with the loud noise of drainage is to overhaul the entire drainage pipe network and replace the original with low noise drainage pipes. These pipes are specially designed with heavier density and wall thickness to prevent the gushing sounds of drainage flowing the pipes from infiltrating the surroundings and inconveniencing the people nearby.


2. If renovation is not an option, a suitable solution is to insulate the existing pipe network. There are a number of suitable materials for insulating both metallic and non metallic pipes, including plastic pipes. Sound absorbing foam is one of the common materials but there are also specialist materials which contractors can guide you through.

3. Doubling the drywall over the areas where the pipe network is installed is another method to reduce the sound levels from drainage pipes. Often, thin walls cause more noise to be filtered out when the pipes are in function, leading to greater inconvenience. An additional layer of drywall can reduce this problem to a significant extent. However, drywalling can turn out to be an expensive option and one must consider this choice accordingly.

4. One step that can be taken during the installation stage to reduce the noise levels of drainage pipes is to install them in locations which are less disruptive. Pipes going through the closets, near lifts or staircases are less likely to disrupt the activities.

For the best low noise drainage systems, choose the advanced and innovative AS and AS+ pipes and fittings from Wavin. With increased wall thickness and material density, Wavin’s low noise drainage systems bring down the noise levels to as low as 10 decibels.
