Plumbers are professionals who assemble, install, and repair pipes, fittings, and fixtures that carry water and gas according to plumbing codes and specifications. They work with piping systems, install sinks, tubs, and other kitchen fixtures and bathroom fixtures. A plumber ... gives plumbing estimates, does general maintenance, and can work on waste disposal systems. In new construction, a plumber will follow the blueprint and work as a subcontractor for your contractor. The pipes he or she works with can be made of copper, glass, lead, plastic, ceramic, cast iron, or steel. New construction plumbing is checked the building inspector, but on home repair or home renovation it is even more essential to get good references and find the right plumbing company.

The Plumbers' first task was the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's Los Angeles psychiatrist, Lewis J. Fielding, in an effort to uncover evidence to discredit Ellsberg. The operation was reportedly unsuccessful in finding Ellsberg's file and was so reported to the White House. However, Fielding himself stated the file was in his office, he found it on the floor on the morning after the burglary and quite clearly someone had gone through it.

Plumbers do more than make it easy for you to get a glass of water; they’re lifesavers. Throughout history, millions of people have died due to a lack of clean water. Diseases such as cholera, dysentery, typhus, typhoid fever, and even the plague, were all related to poor sanitation and infected water sources. Thanks to advances in plumbing in the late 1800s, these diseases are now rare in developed countries.
