Plumbing (from the Latin plumbum for lead, as pipes were once made from lead) is the skilled trade of working with pipes, tubing and plumbing fixtures for drinking water systems and the drainage of waste. A plumber is someone who installs or repairs piping systems, plumbing fixtures and equipment such as water heaters. The plumbing industry is a basic and substantial part of every developed economy due to the need for clean water, and proper collection and transport of wastes.

Plumbing also refers to a system of pipes and fixtures installed in a building for the distribution of potable water and the removal of waterborne wastes. Plumbing is usually distinguished from water and sewage systems, in that a plumbing system serves one building, while water and sewage systems serve a group of buildings or a city.

Plumbing question if anyone knows the answer, but can enamel-building toothpaste and rinses add to?
Q. plumbing problems. My drains are going so slow, and a few months ago we changed to enamel-strengthening toothpaste and a cavity-fighting rinse. Can the minerals that build strength to tooth surfaces gunk up the pipes? Thanks, Mark.

A. I don't know but put some enzyme drain cleaner in it and it will eat all the scum out of the pipes.

Is the plumbing different in Korea compared to the States?
Q. I always hear about not flushing toliet paper because it gets caught in the plumbing or something to that effect. Is it really different?
Asked by sgrag3003 - Fri Apr 11 04:58:58 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's may be the paper not the plumbing. May be the Koreans are using extra strong paper that is takes longer to digest.

What does it mean when a house needs new plumbing?
Q. A realtor told this to my fiance on a house. Rather than going ahead and paying an inspector, what does this mean? What does "new plumbing" entail?
Asked by fakeflowers - Mon Aug 6 20:50:21 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. well it depends on WHAT he told her...if he said new plumbing then he probably means new water AND drain lines...that would be a repipe of both systems...but if he said new kitchen lines or bathroom lines then he meant just that...find out EXACTLY what her told her...NOW after saying that i would STILL get the inspector bacause he doesnt just check plumbing...he looks at the WHOLE house...the framing and support...electrical...pl umbing...foundation...roo f...walls...Everything... so i would definitely get the inspector that way u will know everything thats needs fixing and not just the plumbing

  • An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
    • John W. Gardner, President, Carnegie Corporation, "Excellence: Can We Be Equal and Excellent Too?", p. 86 (1961)
  • I long to create something that can’t be used to keep us passive: I want to write a script about plumbing, how every pipe is joined to every other.
