Plumbing:

Plumbing is any system that conveys fluids for a wide range of applications. Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids. Heating and cooling, waste removal, and potable water delivery are among the most common uses for plumbing, but it is not limited to these applications. The word derives from the Latin for lead,” plumbum”, as the first effective pipes used in the Roman era were lead pipes.

In the developed world, plumbing infrastructure is critical to public health and sanitation.

Boilermakers and pipefitters are not plumbers although they work with piping as part of their trade and their work can include some plumbing.

Origin:

The first pipes arose in the Roman Empire when aqueducts were developed that carried water to palaces and sewers to evacuate waste. It was not until the end of the 19th century that plumbing as we know it began to develop, with pipes made of iron.

Lead to solder pipes is no longer used in most of the world since the corrosion of the pipes ends up contaminating drinking water. That is why the welds began to be made with steel and tin, among other options. Intending to reduce costs, other materials also began to be used to make the tubes, such as PVC and copper.

Today, plumbing is essential to install pipes in a house, repair a broken pipe, troubleshoot faucets, and repair bathroom equipment, for example.

5 Most important points to cover in plumbing:

  1. Leaks:

When a tube loses water due to wear or an impact.

  1. Materials and fusions:

It is not enough to have good ideas to repair a pipe, but it is necessary to know the most suitable products for each case and the best way to use them.

  1. Plans and installations: 

A plumber must handle construction jargon and concepts to a certain level, to be able to read a plan and isolate a problem whose root is not obvious to the naked eye

  1. Sewage drains:

It is one of the elements that cause the most problems and generates the greatest despair, given its unpleasant characteristics.

  1. Kitchen plumbing: 

The kitchen is an essential environment in the home and also one of the most used, which causes damage more often. For this reason, a good professional must know their plumbing system in-depth, with all possible combinations of materials and products, to be able to act efficiently.
