Plumbers or Plumbing Contractors…What’s the Difference?

A fair question indeed…how much difference is there?  Basically, if you have a common problem in your home's plumbing system you will probably deal with a plumber.  A plumbing contractor deals almost exclusively with new constructions, remodeling, and renovation…the water supply, the septic system, etc.

Plumbing contractors can do more complex tasks than a plumber, as well as doing all of the tasks that a plumber is able to do.  You might find a plumbing contractor working to construct a home's waste disposal system, installing gas connections and flues, or even working on water heaters, both gas and electric.

Keep on Pumpin’

Good advice if you’re a sump pump and you are protecting someone’s home in Spokane or Coeur D’alene.  You are the difference between a clean, dry home and an unmitigated disaster!  A sump pump system consists of four major parts: a ground water collection system, a sump tank, a pump, and an outlet drain.

Here are the basics of how they work.  Water is carried to the sump pump tank that is buried in the basement floor.  The sump tank, which is also called a “basin,” a “crock,” or a “sump pit”. It may be made of clay, tile, steel, concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene.  Though they vary in size, standard tanks are about 18 inches in diameter and 2 to 3 feet deep.

Knowing all of that is all well and good, but knowing who replaces and repairs them in the Coeur D’Alene or Spokane area is even more important!  The answer is A River City Plumbing.  Whenever you have a sump pump problem call A River City Plumbing.  That’s (208) 659-6565 or (509) 954-6567.
