I assume you’d have a ‘main stack’ as in a bigger pipe that runs up the whole building, and then the smaller pipes that would branch out to toilets, showers, etc from there. So once the waste got to main stack then yes it would just fall all the way down.
As for the other question, there are usually access points to reach pipes. So once a plumber determined the location of the clog they’d just fix it from the nearest available one.
Industrial maintenance here, highest building I worked in was 90m tall, shit pretty much falls straight down.
How do they make sure it doesn’t clog ? By hiring people like me and making sure it’ll flood the parking before flooding the building.
Note to you all, please stop throwing your tampons, news paper, lingerie, entire roll of paper and whatnot down the drain, thank you.
