Plumbing Installer – Types of installations
Interior plumbing installers build various types of systems that are crucial to the functioning of buildings and infrastructure. Here are some common types of systems that plumbers build:
- Water supply systems: They provide water supply to the building from the water supply network and distribute water to various points of use, such as taps, sinks, showers and dishwashers
- Sewage systems: They discharge used water and sewage from the building to the municipal sewage network or to a home sewage treatment plant.
- Heating systems: They contain a heating installation that supplies heat to rooms using boilers, radiators or underfloor heating.
- Cooling systems: May include the installation of air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration systems that ensure proper temperature and air quality in the building.
- Gas systems: Provide access to natural or propane gas for heating, cooking and other applications that require access to gas.
- Drainage systems: They drain rainwater from roofs, the ground surface and condensate from cooling installations, preventing flooding of the building.
- Fire protection systems: These include the installation of hydrants, fire extinguishers, fire alarms and automatic fire extinguishing systems that ensure safety in the event of a fire threat.
- Water treatment systems: Ensure the appropriate quality of drinking water by filtering, purifying and disinfecting water from the water supply network.

Scope of work requiring cooperation
An interior plumbing installer often collaborates on a construction site with other specialists, such as:
- plumbers,
- sanitary engineers,
- architects,
- interior designers,
- general construction contractors.
This cooperation is crucial to ensure the proper functioning of the entire internal plumbing system and the safety of building users.
Types of installation
In the case of industrial construction, indoor plumbing contractors may be responsible for installing and maintaining advanced plumbing systems. In addition, heating installations that are necessary for the proper functioning of production plants, factories and warehouses. In residential construction, internal plumbing installers mainly deal with the installation of water, sewage and heating systems in single-family houses, flats and apartments. However, in the case of infrastructure construction, such as roads, bridges or tunnels, internal plumbing installers may be responsible for installing drainage systems, tunnel lighting, and damp-proof systems. All these systems are designed to ensure the safety and comfort of users and the proper functioning of a given facility.
