What does a Plumber do?

Answer:
Where would the world be without the expertise of the

brave men and women who keep our plumbing flowing properly, our plumbers. A common misconception about plumbers is that their sole task in life is to fix leaky pipes and unclog toilets when the wrong items get flushed.

Although plumbers are masters at snaking a drain, this is only a small portion of their trade. Plumbers are master pipe layers, installing complex systems for heating, flushing, draining, and drinking uses.

Plumbers are also responsible for many industrial piping processes, laying lines for steam systems, gas systems, and other fluid systems that require precision fittings with a perfect seal.
