We all hear the words so often, ‘we must call the plumber’.
But if you are not really very familiar with the term, well then this article is just for you.
Today we will look at what a plumber is and what it is that they do.
So let’s begin with the first question.
What exactly is a plumber?
Well if you are looking for a very simple explanation, here it is:
A plumber is a person that works with pipes. Yes that’s right, he repairs and fixes broken pipes, and also fittings. Basically anything that has to do with water and the pipes connected to the water supply etc.
But not only does he repair pipes, a plumber can also install and do the maintenance that is needed for the pipes to work a 100%.
Let’s say for example you are renovating or building a house, and you are looking for someone to help you with your bathroom and to install that new bath, shower and toilet? Who are you going to call? The answer is quite obvious, you are going to call a professional plumber.
A plumber that claims to be professional will usually have a license to prove that he knows exactly what he is doing, and that he is not someone who is going to waste your and his time. You will probably have to pay a decent amount of money, but at least you will know the job is done correctly.
When you get a plumber out to help you, you will notice that they always have a large selection of tools with them to do the job. These tools can include things like a pipe cutter, a saw, a pipe bending machine. These are just a few of the tools, but like you noticed they are not your everyday equipment. And plumbers must spend a large amount of money on tools to be certain they always have the right tools, on the right time for a specific job.
So like you can see, we may not always notice it, but being a plumber is a very important job.
