What do Plumbers Do?
A plumber is someone who installs and maintains pipes in our hoes and businesses. These pipes need to be installed and maintained for portable water, drainage, irrigation and sewage, as well as other uses. Plumbers can be involved in hands-on work or may work in a design capacity, drafting blueprints and helping make the installation process more efficient. This is a profession with an extensive number of possible career paths.
Working as a plumber involves much more than simply fixing leaky pipes as every day will involve a new job, a new client and a new environment. Tasks you’ll be expected to carry out include: Installing or maintaining heating systems, repairing sanitation systems, fitting domestic appliances, installing air-conditioning units, fitting bathrooms and emergency repairs.
