The word “plumbing” comes from the Latin word plumbum, which is the element lead, and was so named because lead was used extensively in the development of piping systems. The practice of installing pipes and using the piping materials became known as plumbing.
At some point, most homeowners will have to deal with a clogged drain. In most instances, the clogged drain is the result of not properly cleaning the drain. When you do not regularly clean a drain, over time, foreign matter can accumulate and clog the drain. Not only is it a frustrating experience trying to unclog the drain, but there is often an unpleasant odour caused by the build up foreign debris and bacteria. Cleaning the drain will help prevent an annoying drain clog.

Thus, it is of the utmost significance to broaden our horizons and learn more about plumbing. The best way to gain more knowledge is through an intensive question and answer session.
