Finding a local emergency plumber is often a matter of serious consequence. Knowing that your family could incur thousands of dollars of damage to their home if you do not find a local emergency plumber when you need one creates a sense of urgency that can be very stressful. Unfortunately, in a time when so many high school graduates are being pushed to pursue a four year college degree, plumbing is one of the fields where some parts of the country are seeing significant shortages in the number of people who are able to solve these problems. When these local plumbers are found, they can charge sky high prices for their services because there is so little competition in their field.
Water, it seems, has always been a life giving force and a problem. In fact, indoor plumbing dates back to at least 2500 B.C., and has served as a sign of the success and early advancement of some of the greatest civilizations. And even though there were people centuries ago working on the convenience of indoor plumbing, today we still live in a time when access to clean water can seem like a difficult task. Samuel Taylor Coleridge in “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” may have crafted one of the most famous lines about the glories and challenges of water. In his epic tale, a sailor on a becalmed ship, although surrounded by salt water, has none that he can drink. The famous line WATER WATER EVERYWHERE may be as true in the time of Coleridge as it is today. Fast forward to today’s world and there are still millions of people who can see water, but do not have the means to find a way to make this life giving resource drinkable. In fact, there are many scientists and engineers who perhaps correct predict that access to clean water will serve as the dividing line as to whether or not communities across the globe will survive or not.
