Plumbers install, repair, and maintain the systems that bring clean water into your home and safely remove wastewater. Their work covers everything from fixing leaks and clearing drains to installing water heaters, repairing pipes, and ensuring plumbing systems meet safety and building codes. Minor issues like a dripping faucet or slow drain may seem manageable at first, but problems involving hidden leaks, sewage backups, gas lines, or water pressure changes usually require professional service. Proper plumbing work protects your home from water damage, health risks, and costly long-term repairs.
