    What is a Plumber?

    A plumber is someone who installs and maintains pipes in our homes and businesses. These pipes

    need to be installed and maintained for potable water, drainage, irrigation and sewage, as well as

    other uses. Plumbers can be involved in hands-on work or may work in a design capacity, drafting

    blueprints and helping make the installation process more efficient. This is a profession with an

    extensive number of possible career paths. Some of the best paying jobs are in the more unusual

    specialities, since there is less competition.

    This can be a very rewarding career, as evidenced by survey data that indicates that licensed

    professionals in the field tend to remain in the profession for their entire career. Many even

    continue part-time, well past the usual retirement age, helping the next generation by providing

    apprenticeships and learning opportunities.

    1. What is a Plumber?
    Someone interested in becoming a plumber would be interested to know that the stereotypical job

    as a residential plumber is only a small portion of the available career opportunities for an

    experienced professional.

    An expert in plumbing is aware of building regulations and safety standards and works to make

    sure these standards are upheld. Legal expertise can also be an aspect of plumbing, since the laws

    regulating this trade vary depending on where you live, and can be difficult for a layperson to

    understand. Testing pipes for leakage using air pressure and other gauges, and also the ability to

    construct new pipe systems by cutting, fitting, measuring and threading pipes are some of the other

    more involved aspects of plumbing.

    Plumbers often work right alongside architects, as they can contribute valuable knowledge about

    the best positions for wall passage and fixture locations, saving the architect valuable time and

    avoiding expensive mistakes.

    Are you suited to be a plumber?


    Plumbers have distinct personalities. They tend to be realistic individuals, which means they’re

    independent, stable, persistent, genuine, practical, and thrifty. They like tasks that are tactile,

    physical, athletic, or mechanical. Some of them are also investigative, meaning they’re intellectual,

    introspective, and inquisitive.

    matches.

    What is the workplace of a Plumber like?

    Job security tends to be good in this field, because people will always need plumbing. A day in the

    life of a plumber might include fielding midnight phone calls from a frantic customer with a

    broken pipe, or it might involve working for an architectural firm or on a construction site.

    Many plumbers are self-employed or work for a small business employing less than ten people,

    though some might find working for larger entities or the government is more desirable. Many

    large buildings employ their own staff, including school districts, college campuses, airports, and

    municipal buildings. The military is another large employer of plumbing professionals, though past

    experience as a member of the armed forces may be a prerequisite.

    Simply put, anywhere that has or needs to have running water is an opportunity for potential

    customers. Even motor vehicles such as buses, recreational vehicles, large airplanes, yachts, and

    cruise ships all need the installation of plumbing and will need repair work from time to time.
