Why use a Licensed Plumber?
In this age of do-it-yourself home improvements and/or handymen, it’s important to understand just why it’s the law to use a licensed plumber. The need for a safe water supply and an efficient disposal of waste water is imperative. Handymen and homeowners cannot be familiar with all the codes and statutes regarding plumbing or with the standards for products or with backflow control. Poor water and energy management can lead to damage of the environment and to health issues. Many diseases can be directly attributed to sanitation issues.
As global water conservation becomes a more critical issue, plumbers’ knowledge and research become more crucial. Therefore, the plumbing industry is essential in water re-use and grey water recycling. Plumbing problems need to be handled by the plumbing professionals: 1) it’s the law and 2) they have the knowledge and training.
