History
↓↓
Plumbers are skilled tradespeople who install and repair piping systems for water, gas, and sewage. The profession dates back to ancient civilizations such as Rome, where lead pipes (plumbum in Latin) were used for water distribution—hence the term “plumber.” Plumbing developed over centuries, improving sanitation and public health, with modern plumbing emerging in the 19th and 20th centuries alongside urbanization. Today, plumbers are essential for residential, commercial, and industrial infrastructure worldwide.
