As modern day humans, using plumbing is an integral part of our lives. Pipes carry in warm water for our baths, cool water for us to drink, and clean water to wash our garments with. Separate pipes carry away tarnished water for our safety. An unfortunate consequence of this reliance on plumbing is having to deal with clogged drains, which can lead to poor drainage and unpleasant smells.
