Induced siphonage occurs when a reduction in pressure within a Plumbing system causes water to be drawn out of traps, potentially leading to sewer gas entering living spaces. This phenomenon is typically triggered by rapid water flow, such as when a large volume of water is discharged, creating a vacuum effect. The vacuum can disrupt the water seal in traps, which are designed to prevent gases from escaping. Proper venting and trap design are essential to mitigate the risk of induced siphonage.
