Manifestações patológicas em sistemas prediais hidráulicos e sanitários

Abstract

Plumbing and sanitary installations are essential for the proper functioning of any building. However, these installations often present problems that can compromise the quality of life of users and generate additional costs for repairs. Pathology in hydraulic and sanitary building systems can be defined as the science that studies the constructive faults and defects that appear in buildings, known as pathological manifestations. This study deals with pathological manifestations in building installations, specifically in the hydraulic and sanitary areas of buildings. Based on inspections at the Araguaia university campus, Unit II, of the Federal University of Mato Grosso, the work identified predominant problems in sanitary basins and washbasins, many of which were the result of inadequate maintenance and misuse. The research used NBR 15575-6 criteria and post-occupancy evaluation (PEA) to collect and analyze the data. The study reinforces the need for preventive maintenance and robust design to extend the useful life of the installations and guarantee the safety and functionality of the building systems.
