Plumbing is the system in a building that carries water from the source to the fixtures and back out to the waste system. It includes pipes, drains, valves, and other components that help to distribute water for various uses in the home or commercial building. Plumbing is an important part of home maintenance and it is important to keep the system well maintained in order to ensure reliable and safe water delivery.

There are many different types of plumbing, including both residential and commercial. Residential plumbing typically involves the installation of pipes, fittings, and fixtures to provide a home with water, drainage, and gas. Common residential plumbing types include water supply lines, drain and vent lines, gas lines, and waste disposal lines. Commercial plumbing often requires a different set of skills, as it typically involves more complex systems than residential plumbing. Common commercial plumbing types include backflow prevention, hot and cold water systems, stormwater systems, and sanitary systems.

Plumbing also commonly involves the installation of sinks, toilets, showers, and other water-using appliances. Plumbers are also responsible for inspecting and fixing existing plumbing systems, ensuring that they are functioning properly and safely.
