What Are the Various Types of Plumbing Services?

Plumbers don’t just unclog drains or repair broken fixtures. There are a wide range of plumbing services you can obtain from these professionals when you’re having issues with your plumbing and appliances at your home.

Here’s a quick look at the most common categories of plumbing services for which people turn to professionals for assistance.

Perhaps the most common problem people experience with their plumbing is clogs. The problem doesn’t just occur in sinks and toilets—clogs and backups can also form in pipes, sewer lines, slop sinks and floor drains.

Professional plumbers are able to analyze any clogs in your home’s plumbing and provide services such as drain cleaning and maintenance, sewer cleaning and inspection, underground drain cleaning and repair, installation and removal of sewer treatment systems, catch basin cleaning and issues with plumbing in kitchens, bathrooms and basements.

Plumbing problems can occur at just about any time, so it is important to have a relationship with a plumber who offers round-the-clock emergency plumbing services. Most emergencies involve significant leaks or system failures, but each plumber who offers emergency services will tend to define exactly what they consider to be an emergency and when they will come out on a service call during nontraditional hours.

Anywhere water enters the home, there are potential plumbing issues that could arise. Professional plumbers will offer a wide range of plumbing services under this umbrella, including installation, maintenance, repair, inspection and testing of hot and cold water supplies in kitchens and bathrooms, as well as installation, repair, maintenance, inspection and testing of hot water systems located in the home.

While most of a plumber’s work will deal with water-related supply lines, fixtures and infrastructure, plumbers will also handle jobs related to natural gas.

Professional plumbers that offer gas services will be able to install, maintain, inspect, repair and test natural gas and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) lines, cooktops, ovens, hot water heaters, dryers and barbecue grills, among other appliances and equipment. In addition, gas plumbers might be called in to install or perform maintenance work on gas fireplaces in the home.

Plumbers also play an important role in construction projects. Once a project reaches a certain stage of completion, plumbers can come in to make the connections to municipal utilities, lay down pipes and infrastructure and install appliances and fixtures throughout the structure. In this type of work, plumbers act as subcontractors to handle those specialty jobs on behalf of the contractors overseeing the entire construction process.
