Plumbers work hard every day on a variety of plumbing problems. But do you know what challenges they really face on a daily basis? We fail to think about how important and dangerous their job really is. Plumbers do a lot more than just unclog drains and fix busted pipes. Here are a few things you didn’t know about plumbers and the work they do.
Every Day is a Challenge
No two days are alike in a plumber’s world. One job may be a simple faucet replacement, while the next has them repairing a gas line. Each scenario puts a plumber’s skills to the test which makes them more prepared to handle the next job. Plumbers receive an extensive amount of training and must receive the proper certifications before they can perform most work on your home.
They Can Save You Money
Major plumbing problems can cost you a lot of money…that is if you try to fix it yourself. Attempting to handle any plumbing concern on your own is not only risky, but could cost you more money in the long run. A plumber will produce an estimate for the cost of work and labor. Do not hesitate to ask questions about the estimate or the work being done. The right plumber will answer any and all questions before performing the job.
It’s a Dangerous Job
Most people don’t realize how dangerous a plumber’s job really is. In fact, plumbers face many dangerous situations every day in their line of work. Everything from working to repair a gas leak to facing ruptured pipes could put a plumber’s life at risk.
Kitchens are the Worst
You would think the bathroom would be a plumber’s worst nightmare. However, the kitchen is the least favored room in the house to do repairs. The reason is because the kitchen sink gets used as something it’s not – a garbage can. If plumbers had their way they would change the name of the “garbage disposal” to the “sink disposal”. And grease would be properly disposed of instead of being poured down the drain.
They Can Make your Water Safe to Drink
The water from your faucet may taste fine, but some municipal water systems are not the healthiest. A plumber can install water filter systems or water softeners so you and your family can have pure, clean water at your convenience.
