What does a plumber do?
Most people are familiar with plumbers who come to their home to unclog a drain, install bathroom fixtures such as faucets and toilets, install water heating appliances including dishwashers. In addition to these activities, however, plumbers install, maintain, and repair many different types of pipe systems. For example, some systems move water to a municipal water treatment plant and then to residential, commercial, and public buildings. Other systems dispose of waste, drain away unwanted water around homes and commercial buildings, provide gas to stoves and furnaces.. Pipe systems in power plants carry the steam that powers huge turbines. Pipes also are used in manufacturing plants, such as wineries, to move material through production processes. Plumbers take part in new construction projects such as homes and schools, as well as renovate existing plumbing systems.
