Plumbing Contractor Services

plumber

Not the same career as a plumber, a plumbing contractor is a licensed professional plumber that s educated to repair, install, and build water and drainage pipes in residential and commercial buildings and structures. They are also called upon to service commercial and private residences, such as private businesses and public sector establishments, such as schools. And there are many types of contractors, from local ones to national contractors, that specialize in different types of pipe installations. Contractors also come in different sizes, from one or two people down to thousands or millions.

There are many duties that a plumber can perform, depending on what type of contractor they are. A general contractor is someone that serves a wide range of available jobs around the home. These could include installing bathtubs, installing kitchen countertops, repairing and installing toilets, installing sinks, repairing faucets, installing fireplaces, repairing chimneys, installing skylights, and many more. In other words, if your plumbing needs include anything but simple installations, then you’re better off calling a general contractor. On the other hand, if your plumbing needs are very specific and complex, it would be wise to contact a plumbing contractor specializing in those specific tasks. Here’s a quick list of the different tasks that a plumbing contractor can typically perform:

Heating and Water Heaters Installation – Plumbing contractors perform installation work for water heaters and plumbing heaters. This work generally consists of installing the heater to the proper connection, and then connecting the water heater to the appropriate place. Some contractors install combi-mod systems together with water heaters. If you have a combination heating/heating system, then it’s wise to consult a plumbing contractor for the complete installation process. Heating and water heaters can range from small household models right up to commercial sized systems.

Interior Design – Plumbing contractors are skilled interior designers as well. They can work closely with architects and remodeling teams to create a space that is functional and meets the design specifications of the homeowner or designer. Some plumbers can even perform the entire project themselves to save the homeowner time and money. Some homeowners may be hesitant at first to allow a non licensed contractor into their home, but there are some very good reasons why this should not be an issue. First of all, licensed contractors are bonded and insured, which means that should something happen to them during the course of work, they will be covered.

Leaky Gutters and Bathtubs – One of the most common plumbing problems in homes is a leaky toilet or leaking bathtub. This is something that plumbers are very familiar with, and is actually one of their main lines of business. A leaky tub or toilet can be quite the headache, especially for elderly and disabled individuals. Most plumbing contractors can easily take care of the problem, by merely installing new drains. The same goes for replacing faulty toilets.

Gas Connections and Waste Disposal System – If you have a gas problem, a plumbing contractor can usually repair or replace any problems with your waste disposal system or the plumbing fixtures around the house. There are some plumbers that specialize only in sewer and drainage systems, while others are capable of handling all different types of pipe work. They can also help with updating gas connections, ensuring proper gas connections between plumbing fixtures, and can even do some work with updating or fixing your heating system. For example, they can check for leaks around your hot water tank, or check to make sure your water heater is functioning correctly. It really does not matter what type of task they have, as long as it is plumbing related.

New Construction and Updating – There are a lot of new construction projects, remodels, and upgrades that need to be done on a daily basis. This means that there will be a lot of work for a plumbing contractor to accomplish. Some of the plumbing tasks that a contractor would be responsible for include: unclogging drains, fixing faucets, installing new fixtures, checking the water supply, and changing out old fixtures for new ones. A plumber can also help with the new construction project, as well as any minor construction projects that are being done. A plumbing contractor can also perform some basement leak repairs and bathroom remodels.

Leak Detection and Inspection – One of the most common plumbing tasks that contractors perform involves leak detection and repair. As stated above, there are many different types of pipelines that are involved in almost every type of job. From PVC pipes to natural gas lines, pipes come in all shapes, sizes, and types. Therefore, it is necessary for a plumbing contractor to know everything about all the pipes that are involved in your project.
