Plumbing may not be exactly a science or a branch of engineering but there can be no doubt that it is a skilled art requiring considerable training, knowledge and experience if it is to be undertaken successfully. When new construction is being planned and designed, the layout of everything associated with the provision of piped liquids and gases does require a professional engineer. However, the actual installation and maintenance will normally be left in the hands of a qualified technician or tradesperson.
The Trade Side Of It
Anyone wishing to become a plumber in the United States has to options to choose from:
* Undertake an apprenticeship
*
Attend and graduate from a trade school.
Upon successful completion of either route the regulations covering what comes next vary from state to state. There is no Federal licensing or certification program, but most states do require certification and/or licensing before suitably qualified people can work in plumbing fields (there is also some taxation reasoning behind this). In addition, certain aspects of plumbing work (such as cross connections) are covered by environmental regulations and special accreditation may be required before undertaking such work.
Basic Domestic Systems
Once all the plumbing has been installed in a new home, the plumber’s work will be either fixing problems (notably leaks or blockages) or installing modifications or small additions (an extra bathroom for example). Customers for this type of work expect the contractor to be:
* Readily available even at short
notice
* Knowledgeable of the problem or job to
hand
* Arrive with all necessary tools and
replacement parts
* Be reasonably priced
*
Trusted to work alone and unsupervised within your home.
These are universal expectations when seeking the Best Plumber for Marion, IA, or anywhere else nationwide. It could be said that plumbers are self obvious but a surprising number of householders still get caught out by getting a local “handyman” with a bag of tools to undertake plumbing work for them.
Commercial And Janitorial Services
Small scale business where the water is not part of their process, will use the same type of contractor as householders but, when the scale gets larger (e.g.an hotel or large shopping mall) permanent, on site plumbing services may be preferable. This could be by way of direct employment or under full time contract from a good local plumbing firm.
