A day in the life of a Service Plumber (#1)

Here's our first of many day-in-the-life-of videos. We'll bring these to you every now and again to show just how random our days can be. On this day we installed an American Standard toilet that a customer had picked out. We installed two customer supplied Moen faucets. We re-lit and diagnosed an issue with a Bradford White water heater and then ordered a new repair part. We cleared a clogged drain line and diagnosed an issue with an old sewer line. Lastly, we repaired a defective sump pump discharge pipe. This is just another example of how random our day's can be. We never know what we're walking into each day but we're always prepared for whatever the day may bring.

I'm white collar and considering switching to a blue collar job like plumbing. Yes, it can be physically demanding work but sitting a cubicle staring at a computer is rotting my brain.

I love being a plumber. I was able to start my own business 2 years into being an apprentice. The work is plentiful and abundant.

Thank you! For the nice video. I’m a Plumber Apprentice for Service and going towards becoming a Plumber eventually. I enjoy plumbing for the most part but it has its challenges.

Very cool video showcasing what a day in the life of a service plumber looks like! If we were in your service area my family and I would hire you if we needed service plumbing. It is clear to see that you enjoy doing plumbing and that you have high quality work in service of your customers. God Bless you and your businesses. Can't wait to see new videos as time allows, I have subscribed! Thank you for all you do!

The video production is on point! As a previous videographer I’m impressed with the investment you’ve put into your work documentation. Keep up the great work. I interviewed today as a plumbing helper sick of a desk job went to school for business and looking for a career change working hands on.

I used to work in H.R in the supply chain industry, which took massive hits in revenue during and after covid. Plumbing started as a fascination the first time I paid a plumber to put new water lines in a home I was flipping. Turned into my main source of income working for a great company that is eager to train. My job includes elements of mechanical engineering and electrical as well, so the sky is the limit on what you will be exposed to.

Just think,
All the free hor'durves collected under your fingernails throughout the day can be a tasty treat.
No salt needed.

ever find any strange pipes that lead you to a magical world with turtles and mushrooms?

Little trick on those sensors if you undo the nut and break off the tiny sensor wiring then slide that thermistor as far into the thermostat as you can then tighten it back up and it’ll keep working. Most of them will work that way forever. Rheem must’ve had a bad bunch bc I’ve had the same issue a lot here lately even on my new installs.

[colinjones]

I use a bucket as my tool bag to. People look at me weird 🤣

Lets see a video of removing and replacing a widespread bathroom faucet. Make sure the faucet was installed 30 years ago!! Plumbing is a great trade but ive learned where to charge top dollar and where not to
