Thought All Plumbers Were the Same?
What Are the Different Types of Plumbing Service Work
Many home and business owners are suffering under the illusion that every plumbing service is the same, let us at Next Plumbing tell you that this is not the case. Read on to find out more.
Plumbers are professionals that will repair, install, and maintain piping systems and their related fixtures. These systems can run to sanitary waste removal, water distribution, and even the distribution of steam and gases. Plumbers are responsible also for vent and drainage piping, in addition to piping used in heating and cooling systems.
People who are looking for this type of work can find jobs in many different companies. Residential plumbing services install new systems in single and multi-family homes and apartments. They are often brought in to fix clogged piping or other problems when a system fails to work as it should. Those considering working as a residential plumber should be prepared for irregular hours, as they are often on call overnight, or on weekends and holidays.
Commercial plumbers also install new piping and fixtures, and some focus on general water and sanitary piping, while others will specialize in gas piping or sprinkler systems. Candidates that can’t find work in residential or commercial fields should consider government or municipal positions. City and state governments will frequently hire plumbers to come and install new water and waste systems and to act as inspectors for systems that were installed by others. Municipal plumbing work always involves large scale piping and more complex systems, so being able to read complex blueprints is an absolute must.
In the US, licenses and certification are granted by each individual state. Requirements could differ; however, most licenses can be transferred between each state. Most European nations have their own individual licensing programs in place for their plumbers.
