Plumbing is a consistent quality problem in homes. Why is this? What is the specific quality problem involved? Suffice it to say, every home’s plumbing is different, and any plumbers who come to work on the plumbing in a home must be willing to learn the specifics of a particular home and understand how that particular home works. And this is where the quality problem comes in. Quite often, plumbers aren’t interested in learning the specifics in great detail, so that is how the quality problems emerge. Walls are cut through randomly, pipes replaced haphazardly, hot water valve limits not calibrated correctly. And it’s not just water plumbing, it also extends to telecommunications, and in some cases electrical.

Alas, in either case, it is often times the homeowner who is most responsible for having the greatest understanding of the specifics of their local system. And this is where many homeowners can falter.
