Such a plumber may also be employed by the plumbers union, towns and city departments that need his services to maintain, repair and fix clogged drains and pipes installed in city streets ensuring that these systems comply to standard city codes.

Emergency Plumbers

Emergency plumbers are those who respond quickly to a plumbing problem at all times. A plumber who is willing to work over time and after official closing hours is often referred to as an emergency plumber or 24 hour plumbers. Most plumbing companies are looking for employees to work as emergency plumbers taking care of their clients' emergency plumbing needs like blocked toilet or plugged up drains, flooded yard, overflowing systems and pipes, steaming heating systems or water heaters heating up, running toilet, broken pipe, leaking or burst pipe, clogged drains and sewer lines, toilets backing up and other plumbing emergencies or problems that need instant plumbers attention.

Commercial Plumbers

Commercial plumbers are plumbing professionals who work in commercial areas like restaurants, offices, universities, medical outlets, hospitals, schools, businesses, churches, rental properties, commercial real estate and construction sites. They are in high demand as their skills handle high tech systems found in these commercial buildings.

Residential Plumbers

A residential plumber on the other hand is a plumber that works in homes. Their duties include installation, repair and service of home heating and air, venting systems, gas appliances, toilets, shower, laundry room, bath tubs, swimming pools, sinks and other related kitchen plumbing parts, faucets, unclogging clogged drains, repairing broken pipes, stopping overflowing water systems or fixing over-heating  water heaters or backed up toilet and tank-less water heater installation. Home plumbers job also include replacing an old electric or gas water heater or installing a new one as well as boiler service and repair or fresh boiler installation.

Drain Plumbers

Drain and sewer plumbers take on works like plumbing drain, sewer and drain cleaning, clearing sewer lines, unclogging and repairing drains, sewer line installation or sewer construction and main line drain repair. A plumber can choose to be a drain cleaner or not. It's a matter of choice of area to specialize in a plumbers career. Drain cleaners are in constant demand because of frequent cases of clogged and blocked toilet, clogged kitchen sink and faucets, blocked mainlines, plugged up drains, flooded basement and different cases of rain and storm drains.

Plumbing Contractors

Plumber contractor can also be a general contractor. A plumber who performs all categories of the plumbing trade in residential and commercial buildings in addition to other related trades like electrical is known as a general contractor. In comparison, a specialized plumbing contractor handles some areas of plumbing according to his skill and license of operation. Some plumber contractors have their own private practice without necessarily owning a plumbing company or being employed by one, in the traditional sense of it. These type of plumbers are contractors who accept out-sourced jobs from other plumbers or plumbing companies and do the work with their own tools. In this scenario, a plumbing company gets a job from a home owner, but too busy to do the job and not wanting to disappoint his/her client, this company hires and pays a trusted independent contractor to complete the job through out-sourcing. Today, out-sourcing is a term that is very popular in the business world and among big companies and corporations. Modern day plumbers are not left behind in this practice in their effort to satisfy all customers.

Plumbing Repair and New Construction

A plumber may specialize in either repair or construction or both. A repair plumber concentrates on service and repair of fixtures and fittings. These are called service plumbers and are needed for emergency repairs in residential and commercial buildings. Plumbers who work in construction projects have licenses and trainings to do such works as plumbing construction, installation and remodeling. These are mostly contractors who do installation and remodeling. Apart from works such as kitchen and bathroom remodeling, new construction and additions, a plumbing contractor can also perform repair works.

Guide For Installing Kitchen Sink By Portland Plumbing Plus

The kitchen is the most important part of every house and kitchen plumbing should be top on the list of every home owner's maintenance and plumbing plan. We at Portland Plumbing will take you through kitchen plumbing tutorials to help you with your home maintenance.

For the purpose of this plumbing guide, we shall sub-categorize kitchen plumbing into the following areas:

• Choosing and installing kitchen sink basins
• Kitchen sink drain plumbing
• Kitchen Faucets plumbing
• Kitchen sink pipes installation
• Kitchen sink water lines installation

Choosing Your Kitchen Sink Basin

Modern kitchen sink basins are shipped in different colors, styles and designs. I recommend that you choose colors that will suit your overall kitchen color theme. While space and type of kitchen cabinet in place can affect your choice of a sink basin design, always remember to consider how you want your sink basin mounted to choose either a top-mount basin, a flush-basin or under-counter basin. On the other hand, you have the lead when it comes to the style of your sink basin. Simply follow your taste.

Budget is not much of a hindrance when you go out to shop for your kitchen sink as these can be purchased as low as $50 and as high as $4700. Now be careful with really cheap plumbing parts or supplies and always insist on warrantied and trusted brands. Ask your reliable plumber for  advice.

My rule of the kitchen plumbing game is "if you got the money, why don't you treat your kitchen to the hyper-modern and exotic kitchen luxury - your wife or husband may love you more for this - and if you are looking to be economical (recommended), especially in these days and times, then there is always a good kitchen sink for your money.

In any case, my take on this is moderation. Always look for a point where quality meets affordability. That's the point i shoot for in all my kitchen sink plumbing supplies purchase.

With your sink basin and other kitchen plumbing fixtures and supply in place, next step would be installation. You can do any aspect of kitchen plumbing you plan if you follow and master a detailed plumbing tutorial. However, it is recommended to always hire a professional to handle every major plumbing project as this gives you best results and double assurance.

How to Install a Shower

Choosing the right showerhead

Did you just buy an old house and are looking to replace your traditional shower with a modern one? Or do you want to convert your existing bathtub to a new shower? Irrespective of what your bathroom renovation need is, this tutorial will be helpful to you. Let's start by choosing the right showerhead for you. Availability of space is often the determining factor for choosing the right plumbing supply in your bathroom. If you have a limited space, you may want to choose the corner shower setting which complements your limited space to give you a chic looking shower setup.

Detachable, Standard or Hanging Showerhead? - Choose according to your style

Your choice of either a detachable showerhead, a standard showerhead or an overhead (hanging) showerhead is a function of your personal style. If you love compactness and resilience, then detachable showerheads are for you. And if on the other hand you want your showerhead installed permanently on your shower, you need to go for the standard showerhead. The hanging showerheads on their part are attached to the roof from where water splashes on you from above  independent of your shower. If you want to get the feel of a waterfall right inside your bathroom, then go get a hanging showerhead style.

We shall continue the series on How to Install a Shower in subsequent articles. In the meantime, make up your mind on which shower best suits your situation and style and go grab it. Do not forget to consult your bathroom remodeling or shower plumbing professional for help.
