As Europe and America began installing sewers, drainage pipes and water mains in the 1800s, along came the rise of the plumber. Our industry has played a critical role in everyday life, sanitation and municipal functions for more than 200 years. But how have the technologies and tools developed with the passing time?
Since the beginning, contacting a plumber has been a service call no one wants to make. Inviting a plumber into one’s home or place of work could mean tearing up the floor, opening up the walls, breaking ceiling panels, turning off the water, ripping out pipes and making the location inhabitable for days, weeks or months.
