Plumber Services 101 – What We Offer

Turns out some folks think plumbers only handle toilets and drains. The truth however is that plumber services cover a range of different parts of your home. This time on the Economy Plumbing Services blog, we’re giving a brief rundown of the different work we do, plumber services for residential and commercial clients!

What Do Plumbing and Plumber Services Cover?

While we know it’s not the ‘best’ way to begin an essay in college, it’s worth mentioning here, the Merriam Webster’s definition of plumbing is a: the apparatus (such as pipes and fixtures) concerned in the distribution and use of water in a building b: an internal system that resembles plumbing, especially: one consisting of conduits or channels for conveying fluids.

Plumbing is the pipes and fixtures that move fluids about your home. That includes things like:

• potable cold and hot tap water supply
• plumbing drainage venting
• sewage systems and septic systems with or without hot water heat recycling and graywater recovery and treatment systems
• Rainwater, surface, and subsurface water drainage
• fuel gas piping
• hydronics, i.e. heating and cooling systems utilizing water to transport thermal energy, as in district heating systems, like for example the New York City steam system.

Plumbing Installation

Perhaps the biggest job of all is the initial installation of plumbing lines and features! Pipes from the city lines under your home and up through the walls to the fixtures they need to go.  If you ever expand your home, or renovate a space and need to run water to or from (or gas) you’ll need a plumber to install the plumbing!
