What can I hire a plumbing service for?

A plumber is trained to more than basic fixes. A professional can offer a variety of plumbing services like installs, maintenance and repairs of water and sewage throughout pipes, as well as faucets and fixtures such as toilets. In the kitchen, local plumbers can hook up your sink, dishwasher and washing machine to the main water supply and the drainage pipes, and they may be able to help with waste disposal units, gas hobs and plumbed-in fridges that dispense ice and water.
In the bathroom, they can help with plumbing work including installing your main bathroom fixtures – showers, baths, sinks, toilets, and bidets. A few skilled plumbing contractors can also install shower body jets and bathtubs.

Also, since most plumbing work is done largely behind walls and beneath floors, some plumbers can also patch or replace tile, stonework, and other surfaces
