Most often, a plumber is represented as an unshaven person in dirty rubber boots and a greasy quilted jacket, and not always sober. Often, this is how plumbers from the housing office look like, but people of this profession are in fact respected at all construction sites, without exception.
Not everyone knows that plumbing is taught in higher educational institutions. A professional plumber, in fact, can solve a very wide range of problems that may arise during finishing and renovation work.
It often happens that it is the plumber who comes to the repair facility first. How is it different? No one else will be able to safely remove old plumbing fixtures, in most cases that are heavily worn out. After all, if during dismantling a valve breaks or a pipe bursts, you will be in trouble. And if the work is done in the old house, then there will be even more problems. In new houses, however, it is easier in this respect, there is still no plumbing and therefore you can immediately start installing new equipment. As the equipment is installed, the turn comes to the heating radiators. They also need to be changed. This work is also not very simple, especially since it must be carried out in an old house. After replacing the heating radiator, the plumber returns to the facility when partitions are erected and plastered in the bathroom. After that, the turn comes to the installation of sewer and water pipes. Most often, such pipes are mounted in the wall, which is why clear installation drawings are required for each installed plumbing equipment before starting work. In addition, you need to prepare mounting frames for all built-in sanitary equipment.
Before finishing the parquet flooring in the room, you need to carry out the main stage of all work - the installation of plumbing equipment. For the installation of a water supply system, a widespread material is metal-plastic pipes. Their technical characteristics are impressive: they do not rust, do not need welding, they are easy to install, securely fasten to the wall and bend. Manufacturers guarantee that the operational period of metal-plastic is 80 years. But confirmation of this figure is not yet possible, this is a fairly new technology. You can also use copper pipes. They do not corrode and are reliable, but the cost of such pipes and components is about two times higher than that of metal-plastic ones. For the installation of sewerage, PVC pipes are usually used.
Plumbing has traditionally been expensive. This is due to the fact that they belong to the category of "hidden work" and in the event of a marriage, redoing everything and eliminating the consequences will not be cheap either. There are also cases when the customer asks to install equipment without taking into account the rules for installing plumbing equipment. This happens when the customer wants to make the plumbing a certain design element, but such an installation ignores even the well-known laws of physics. In such cases, a qualified plumber has to look for all sorts of installation options so that water from the toilet goes into the sewer, and not into a nearby bidet, which, according to the designer, can only stand there. It is important to convey to the customer that the normal operation of the plumbing equipment is just as important as the design of the bathroom, because future problems can seriously complicate the life of the customer. This can happen due to improperly arranged sewage systems or improper placement of plumbing. As for the sewage system, it is very difficult to clean it, although it is precisely it that often clogs up.
