A Little History About The Plumber Trade

0

Plumbers specialize in the installation and maintenance of water systems. Like electricians, they are required to obtain a license from a trade or vocational school and have a background in various aspects of industrial, domestic, and communal pipe work, water heating (steam- and gas- fitters), water treatment (such as water cleaning and purification), drainage, sewer networking, dynamics of water flow, water storage, temperature adjustment, and dangers of water hazards.

Plumbers get their name from the Latin Plumbum, for “lead,” since the ancient Romans used pipes made from lead. The term therefore refers to the metallic element out of which their main building material is made.

Interestingly, Einstein, the father of modern mathematics, admired the plumber:

“If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.” – Albert Einstein, The Reporter, 18 November 1954

 

Not too long after this remark was published, Einstein was granted an honorary membership into the Plumbers and Steamfitters Union, A.F.L., in Washington D.C., which made the genius, in effect, a plumber. The new title pleased Einstein, although he supposedly wasn’t looking for or expecting praise. When it comes to solving the great mathematical puzzles of the universe, Einstein would have been the first to be considered. Who would have known that he would be the person to call to straighten out the water pipes, too?

Plumbers are unsung heroes. These tradesmen and women work hard at very demanding jobs and have crucial knowledge and understanding regarding that basic necessity which every civilization and human being needs to thrive and survive: water! These plumbers make sure that every single person has healthy water to drink every single day and clean water for bathing. They are humanity’s lifesavers!

Testimonials

I want to let you know what a great help Twin Plumbing Poway was. They took a lot of time to explain what they were doing and why they were doing it. They did a great job and I felt like I had made new friends when they were done. It’s hard to find help like that these days. I will be calling them again for other work soon.
Bill M.Poway, CA
Thank you for sending Scott to my home. I have never met such a nice, polite, clean plumber before.
Mrs. N.Poway, CA
Your plumber really took the time to dig in and find the problem that other plumbers couldn’t find. From now on, I’ll be using Twin Plumbing Poway for my home and for all my restaurants.
Julia M.Poway, CA
Luis was really polite and friendly. He worked very hard to find the problem and fix it, and he cleaned up his work area beautifully. I had other contractors in earlier in the week and they just left a mess behind. I’ll always call Twin Plumbing Poway when I want work done in the future because I was so impressed with Luis.
Crystal H.Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, CA
Your plumbers were courteous and responded in record time, delivered outstanding service and most importantly, did not attempt to magnify the problem or quote outrageous prices. I am grateful that I was referred to Twin Plumbing Poway.

John L.Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, CA
This note is both an apology and a thank you. I am so sorry I was late getting to my home to meet your plumber, but even after Miguel waited 45 minutes for me he was helpful, friendly, and very professional. I am appreciative for his good plumbing, excellent customer service and representation of your company. I will always use you for my plumbing and I will refer you too!!
Laura F.Poway, CA
Ricky was awesome. He took care of my problem and he even looked at my heating unit and explained what was wrong with it to me so that I would know what to say to the HVAC technician when he called.
Ms. EframRancho Bernardo, San Diego, CA
I want to thank you for the very fast, professional, and knowledgeable response to my very, very, leaky water heater. Your company is the one I will leave as a recommendation for the next owners of my home. I also gave your company’s name to our realtor. Thank you again for a very fast response and a professionally finished job.
Kathy W.Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, CA
