It’s no secret. Plumbers get little respect… until things go wrong — then the plumber is the homeowner’s best friend. So, why do it? Why bail people out when they treat the trade poorly? It’s not the money. Money is not enough. It’s something else, something more. Here is why we plumb.
We all know about the art deco, Soviet-style posters that proclaim the plumber is the protector of the health of the nation. Honestly, it’s true. Think of a world without plumbing. Ugh. It’s nasty; it’s disease-ridden; it smells. It’s a Monty Python skit.
