A Little history about the Plumber Trade
The plumbing trade has a long and rich history dating back to ancient civilizations. Plumbers were responsible for installing and repairing pipes and other plumbing systems to provide clean water and remove waste.
In ancient civilizations, such as the Roman Empire and the Indus Valley Civilization, plumbers used clay pipes and lead pipes to transport water and sewage. These early plumbing systems were often complex and included underground sewage systems and aqueducts to bring water from sources such as rivers and lakes.
During the Middle Ages, plumbers were known as “pewterers” and were responsible for installing and repairing lead pipes and other plumbing systems. In the 19th and 20th centuries, plumbers began using new materials such as cast iron, copper, and PVC to install and repair plumbing systems.
Today, plumbers continue to play a vital role in the construction and maintenance of plumbing systems in homes, businesses, and other buildings. They are trained to install, repair, and maintain pipes, fixtures, and other plumbing equipment, and may also be responsible for installing and repairing gas lines and other systems. The plumbing trade requires a combination of technical skills and problem-solving abilities, and plumbers must be able to work efficiently and safely in a variety of environments.
