Having over 30 in the trade I have seen many changes.
Plumbing has changed dramatically over the past number of decades. When I was first introduced to this trade back in the late 70's; the first thing that I was shown was how to cork a cast iron joint with lead and oakum for a drainage system. Since the introduction of plastic for drainage systems and potable water; plumbing has become a much easier product to install and repair. There are now a number of different plastic pipes (pex) used in both residential and commercial applications for water lines. Most drainage systems are made of ABS,which is black in color or PVC, which is grey or white. These pipes are chosen by the application where they are to be used or in what part of the country you live in.
"When it comes to repairing or replacing a part or parts of your plumbing system; most homeowners can make their own repairs without calling outside help."
any concerns...leave a question
