Plumbing Pipes

Plumbing is the system of pipes, drains, fittings, valves, valve assemblies and devices installed in a building. These devices are for the distribution of water for drinking, heating, washing, and the removal of waterborne wastes.  Plumbing is the skilled trade of working with pipes, tubing and plumbing fixtures in plumbing systems.  A plumber is someone who installs or repairs piping systems, plumbing fixtures, and equipment such as water heaters, sump pumps, water softeners and more.  The plumbing industry is a basic and substantial part of every developed economy due to the need for clean water and sanitary collection and transport of wastes.  The word “plumbing” comes from the Latin word “plumbum”, meaning lead, as pipes were once made from lead.  Much of the plumbing work done in populated areas is regulated by government agencies due to the public’s health, safety, and welfare. Codes and licensing are controlled by state and local governments. Plumbing installation and repair work on residences and other buildings generally must be done according to plumbing and building codes to protect the inhabitants.  Licensing and permits are requirements of reputable plumbing businesses.  Rest assured that Lawrence De Hart is a licensed Master Plumber.  When you need the job done right, call De Hart Plumbing, “The Company With Hart”.
