The term “plumbing” comes from the latin plumbum for lead. This connection comes as the first pipes were made from lead. However as lead is poisonous, pipes today are actually made from plastic, steel, copper, brass or other nontoxic materials.
The transportation of water played a major role in ancient civilsations including Roman, Greek, Persian, Indian and Chinese. The necessity to transport water for baths helped create the first aquaducts, and the drainage of waste water created our first sewer systems. Today, plumbing is the skilled trade of building and maintaining water systems, including pipes, tubing and drainage.
Today plumbing plays a major part in your home. The plumbing systems in most homes comprises of either the supply of water, central drainage or fixtures and appliances.
Supply of Water / Water Fixtures & Appliances
Usually, homes are connected to a main water supply, which prvides the water source. This travels along the main supply line and is split into two brances. One branch is heated as it is passed through a water heater and the other remains cold. This provides your home with the two elemental “hot” and “cold” water sources. These two lines usually run paralell to each other, into all the rooms that require a water supply (for instance, bathrooms, kitchen etc). All water appliances and fixtures are connected to these lines. In order to ensure the best results, it is advised to hire a professional plumber when installing new plumbing supply systems and fixtures.
