I am a high school graduate and a certified plumber who is working in the plumbing field for past 4 years. I specialize in construction plumbing, repairing, replacing fixtures and new installations. I also have 6 months’ work experience as a journeyman emergency plumber.

I would love to be a plumber for the rest of my life. If eventually I cannot work anymore when I get older, I would love to run my own business.

I have a national craft certificate in plumbing and pipe fitting which is done i 4 years.

We founded stack with oil and sometimes we founded the soil inside the pipes and its different a above pipe a good at sun and a underground pipe when it get hot by sun its creche or break.

I begin by checking for leaks, then check the pipe sizes they shouldn’t be too wide if there is a pressure issue, incase both the checks come in negative I’d recommend installing a pressure pump to enhance the pressure.

In all honesty, too many to count since our business mostly did residential plumbing. If I had to guess, I would say around 200.

Yes, I have done this several times at college, and feel confident to do it independently.

I have opened many snaking clogged up pipes which were deeply closed in the past while I was working. Even dough I was know as a plumber guy in my resident area while I was helping our neighbor to open their toilet.

This is when you talk about your record of getting things done. Go into specifics from your résumé and portfolio; show an employer your value and how you’d be an asset.

Suggested answer: “I’m the best person for the job. I know there are other candidates who could fill this position, but my passion for excellence sets me apart from the pack. I am committed to always producing the best results. For example…”

No but I have worked with steel both in college and on site which I imagine will be the material used.

A pipe dope is a pipe joint that is used to create a watertight seal.

Installation of Showers, drainages, toilets, hand and dish wash basin, heating system, Irrigation pipe lines, Sprinklers, Fogger , and Misting pipe lines.

A broken water line out in the yard may include an excessively high water bill, puddles in your yard or the sound of running water when no faucets or appliances are using water. Blue Mountain can pinpoint the problem without needless trial and error destruction of working pipes. In many cases we can fix the problem right away and save you money.

Of course sometimes they get upset depending on what we are currently doing, but they know it is my job and are happy and thankful I am able to have a job even if I am on call.

You might buy a better flushing toilet for your situation. Some air assisted toilet flush well. When the low gallonage gravity toilets first came out I replaced a couple of new Kohler Wellworth Lites with the Am.Std. air assist toilet with good results. That was then and this is now. Today most brands of gravity toilets flush well (including the redesigned Kohler Wellworth models). Power assisted toilets tend to be noisy and frankly, today I definitely do not recommend power assisted toilets.
By the end of 1999 (most brands of U.S. made) gravity toilets manufactured were flushing fine. At the end of 2000 my guess is that over 85% of 1.6gpf toilets flushed well.

PVC is definitely a better choice, since copper pipes tend to rust, heat up and are time taking to install in contrast to plastic piping that is easy to install, has greater insulation and is rust proof.

To me, there is no worst thing I've had to do. I've had a lot of dirty days as a plumber, but it is my job and to me there is no one job that was worse than any other job.

I enjoy making the customer happy, but what I enjoy the most is overcoming a challenging problem and fixing and correcting whatever the problem may be, its a great feeling.

Not currently. I would like to focus only on plumbing until I finish school and obtain my master's plumbing license. After I may want to learn HVAC or electrical.

When the lowest plumbing fixture in the house overflows when another fixture (like a CWM) is draining; the septic tank needs to be pumped, there is a break in the sewer pipe outside the house or the main drain is plugged somewhere.

Yes, I carry my own tool kit for basic tools.

Pvc under the building and just inside the building then change to copper pretty much instantly with a stop tap.
