blockages in pipes.
As long as the piping is installed correctly, and that's a big if it turns out, there shouldn't be problems with blockages. That goes for commercial or residential installs. There are standards to be followed and some installers, or DIYers, are not trained and just figure they can put the pipes together in any way, but that's not the case. The pipes need to use the correct elbows and transitions.
Another thing I've heard more people are using, mainly because building inspectors are asking for it, is larger diameter 2" PVC plumbing pipe instead of CV pipe.
This PVC pips is wider (so fewer chances of blockages), thicker walled (so much fewer chances of it being drilled through), and it goes together the same way CV pipes would.
If one did have a clog, there are vids and suggestions on cleaning it out such as with a shop vac.
If I had a hotel, I'd put inlets in every room so the hoses would only need to be 15' to 20', making it easier for the maids and less likely something would get stuck in the hose.
