Glossary

Understand plumbing terms with our A–Z glossary for Canadian homes. Find clear definitions and in-depth pages for key terms like sump pump, P-trap, and backwater valve.

The glossary makes plumbing language simple. Use the A–Z hub for quick definitions, or open deep-dive pages that explain complex items in detail. Each guide and troubleshooting page links back to glossary entries, so you never feel lost.
