The Life of a Plumbing Contractor.

So, what do plumbing contractors do?  They assemble, install and repair water, gas and drainage pipes in residences, commercial facilities, businesses, and schools.  They also install and repair various plumbing fixtures and appliances, such as toilets and dishwashers.  First, they must become an apprentice.

It starts when they achieve a high school diploma.  Most apprenticeships are sponsored by local unions, companies, or perhaps contractor organizations.  Programs usually last four to five years and require apprentices to complete a certain number of on-the-job training and technical education hours every single year.

The licensed plumbing contractors at A River City Plumbing have nearly a quarter-century of experience.  They are ready, willing, and able to help you with any plumbing project that you may have in the Coeur D’Alene or Spokane area.  Find out more at arivercityplumbingservice.com then call (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in Coeur D’Alene.

Installing a Gas Line.

This is definitely NOT a DIY job.  A professional needs to be called to do it safely and do it correctly.  For some jobs around your home you just grab a plunger and fix the problem…NOT this one!  The risks of making a mistake (even a fatal one) far outweigh the cost of hiring a professional to do the job.

Here are some of the things that will be done –


1.  The right pipes and fittings for the job must be in place.
2.  The gas in your home must be completely turned off.
3.  Your existing gas line will need to be extended to fit the new ones.
4.  Using flexible pipe to connect the end to your appliance.

Nothing could go wrong there…right?  You know that no matter how handy you are around the house this could be an accident waiting to happen.  A River City Plumbing is the right choice for the job of hooking up gas lines.  Wherever you are in the Coeur D’Alene or Spokane area call (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in Coeur D’Alene.
