40 Times Plumbers Found Something Confusing And Unexpected While On The Job And Just Had To Share The Pics
Plumbing is one of those things that is easy to take for granted. We normally don't notice how much of a role it plays in our daily life until it stops working.
The fact that we can simply walk up to a faucet and wash our face under warm water every time we turn the handle is all thanks to plumbers.
So let's scroll through the subreddit r/Plumbing and check out what they go through on the job to make it happen.
After all, the modern lifestyle we currently enjoy would be impossible without the knowledge and skills these professionals possess.

A few years back, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared plumbers to be one of the most important frontline health workers in the world.
With their knowledge and expertise, plumbers design systems that give us access to clean water sources. That clean water can be used for everything from practicing proper hygiene to sanitizing operating rooms.
Sustainable health is not possible without clean water.

Vintage Bathtub From Newport, Ri Mansion Has Four Water Sources: Hot And Cold Salt Water And Hot And Cold Fresh Water

In the near future, plumbers are going to be as important as ever. "If we do not alter our historical approaches to water supply expansion, we will only be able to provide a fraction of the world’s water demand in the next few decades," the WHO continued.
"By 2050, the world population is estimated to increase by 3 billion people, with 100 percent of this growth expected to be concentrated in urban areas. Within 20 years, the projected demand for water will increase between 40 and 50 percent. Although it was universally agreed that the water challenges ahead of us are daunting, the good news is it is not insurmountable."

But plumbing isn't only for the collection, transportation, and dispersal of clean water. It is also used to remove liquids and waste.
Plumbers ensure that waste disposal runs in an efficient and safe manner. This makes it possible to separate your clean water from harmful contaminants.
When plumbing is done poorly, it could allow for those contaminants to leak into undesirable areas, posing a danger to anyone nearby.

It could likely be old grease. My landlord accused me of putting cat litter down my sink as well and I know for a fact I had never done that. Grease can frequently be mistaken for cat litter in pipes after it sits for a long time and I feel bad for all the people that have been accused of this when that was not what happened. Why on earth would you put litter down your sink anyway?
Currently there are around 480,600 plumbers in the United States, but this number is expected to grow.
CareerExplorer rates plumbers with a B employability rating, meaning this career should provide good opportunities for the foreseeable future. Over the next 10 years, the US might need 81,900 plumbers. That number is based on 75,200 additional plumbers, and the retirement of 6,700 existing professionals.
So we should get even more content from r/Plumbing!

When I first moved in with my now ex-wife, then girlfriend, she looked at me like I had three heads when I emptied the lint trap before every load.

You can also ask for that miss dig ticket number & verify that all parties have entered positive response on the miss dig website. If not osha will shut them down & fine the sh¡t out of the company responsible for the job. It is illegal to begin digging on a jobsite if a ticket hasn't been cleared.

Never flush anything, except toilet paper. Make sure your toilet paper breaks down in water; that's what it's supposed to do. Every decade or so a tp manufacturer comes out with a product that "won't fall apart when wet!" Do not use it. Do not flush it. Return it to the manufacturer. Or, you will be paying a plumber to snake it out for you. (Extra story: I couldn't flush t a m p o n s in my toilet because there was a big sag in the s e w e r line. $$$)

definitely looks like my husband's work on our shower (had to pull the old caulk that was peeling and moldy, and put on fresh. it won't last long just due to water pooling in all the valleys). That stuff definitely has a learning curve to use properly and make it look nice

I Found This Gem Today

Last think you want is a skylight shaft in a bathing room. Hot steam from the shower will rise up into the shaft (since it's the highest point) then with nowhere to go will condense all over it and promote mildew growth.

Looks like it already is an issue, just above and beside the shower water valve.

Got Tired Of The Girlfriend Hogging All The Water In The Shower. It’s A Rental So I Didn’t Want To Open Any Walls
Mouse 3 years ago
I'm curious if renter or owner installed that. If owner did I would definitely be checking for a false wall.

They make showerheads for that, you could have bought one... instead you bought two more and a bunch of copper pipe, put a lot of little holes in the wall, the copper pipe will soon turn the walls around it a pretty shade of green, then when you move out it all gets removed and trashed.👍

I love how easily you expanded your shower heads! Water hogging partner or not, I'd love this setup

Went To A Backed Up Tub. Found This

Seriously? Replacing the faucet couldn't be easier. They only cost $15 and they just thread on. The only reason I can see for doing this is if you have someone who falls asleep with the water running.

No one should ever DIY plumbing or electrical. Just call a professional.

Some people just like their Expanda-Foam too much. Well at least it’s not in a retaining wall

Can see the foam through the bolt hole- did...did they "glue" the toilet to the floor with expanding foam??

Crazy How That Works

Maybe the left has dirty hoses attached to it, for like cleaning portable toilets. Water is clean but would not want to drink from the left one.

I truly admire your attempt to make sense of it.

Them sign on the left means that it's non-potable water...its not clean enough for consumption, but not so funky that you'll find a turd floating in it or something.

From the looks of the wall, they've been using the "drinking water" side.

I've seen that scam before. A local HOA once had NPW taps installed on every new house, so they could add a monthly charge. Later it turned out that the extra tap was simply attached to the municipal supply.
