Everyone knows about plumbing for your residence, but what all does residential plumbing cover? There are a whole lot of things in a residential home that involve plumbing that it can be hard to keep track of them all. Here are some of the things that residential plumbing encompasses.
- Running Water: Anything in your house that involves running water should be in the realm of residential plumbing. This could include sinks, toilets, showers, and even the refrigerator. Anything related to these things leaking, running, or breaking unexpectedly can be dealt with by a residential plumber.
- Pipes: All of the pipes in your home are the realm of a plumber. Certain pipes, such as gas lines, should be left to specialized plumbers that deal with them, but many pipes in your home that use water can be left to a residential plumber.
- Slab Leaks: No one wants to deal with a slab leak, but often slab leaks are caused by pipes underneath the floor. This means they are the job of a plumber, so you can call a residential plumber if you ever have a slab leak.
- Heaters: Some plumbers may be willing to work on heaters in your home. This could be a wall or floor heating system. Also, hot water heaters can be fixed, maintained, or replaced with the help of a residential plumber.
Surprisingly, there are many more things that a plumber can do that you may not expect. They do more than just fix sinks and pipes. Next time you have any of the listed issues call your local residential plumber for help.
