How Technology
Impacts Plumbing

2. Plumbers have been around for a long time, but the
industry is far from static. Technology is
actually changing the way that plumbers operate. Some
of those changes reflect the changing tastes of
consumers, but others simply make the job easier or
help with running small businesses.
Introduction

3. Increasing Demand
for Efficient Products
Consumers want to go green. That
often means choosing products that
use as little water and energy as
possible. Plumbers are seeing an
increased demand for efficient
plumbing fixtures.

4. Water-saving designs are the most notable example, but
they are not the only products that are seeing a surge in
popularity. Consumers are also interested in installing
solar water heaters and other devices that can save
power.

5. Digital Cameras Improve Inspections
Pipes tend to run through awkward places that can
be difficult for plumbers to access. Digital cameras
are providing a solution to that problem. A
plumber can insert the camera into a tight place
and use it to get a good look at the plumbing
without needing to tear the area apart.

6. Computerized
Administration is Key
The business side of plumbing is also changing.
Modern consumers get most of their
information from the Internet, and plumbing
businesses have had to adapt. Digital
advertising is vital to attracting customers.
Some plumbers use banner ads, others use
informational blogs, and many of them are
relying on social media.

7. Computer software can also automate many routine tasks in
an office. These programs can schedule appointments,
reorder supplies, and even coordinate marketing campaigns.
New payment platforms make it easier for customers to make
payments as well as generate reports and provide fraud
protection.

8. New Plumbing
Procedures are
Available Plumbers are even introducing new procedures to
their arsenals. For example, some plumbers are
using new techniques to join pipes through
crimping. That eliminates the need for soldering,
which often requires special permits due to the
open flame. Other innovations save time when
doing small repairs to drains. Those may seem like
minor things, but they can save a lot of time and
money in the long run.

9. These are just some of the ways technology is
impacting the plumbing industry. It will be interesting
to see the new innovations that will emerge in the
next decade.
