plumber
Drain repair specialist
A plumber installs and repairs pipes, fixtures, and fittings for water supply and drainage systems.
The work ranges from unclogging drains to installing water heaters to connecting gas lines.
We had to call a plumber when the pipe burst.
The term comes from the Latin word for lead, the material once used for pipes.
