Technology is changing the plumbing industry in several ways. Plumbers are seeing increased demand for water-saving and energy-efficient plumbing fixtures as consumers want more sustainable options. Digital cameras allow plumbers to inspect hard-to-reach pipes without tearing areas apart. The business side is also changing as computer software automates tasks like scheduling, ordering supplies, and marketing. New payment platforms make transactions easier for customers. Plumbers are also adopting new techniques like pipe crimping that eliminate the need for open flames during joining. Overall, technology is impacting both the operations and business administration of plumbing.
