๐ฐ DO YOU KNOW WHY IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR PLUMBER TO BE LICENSED?
Plumbing is more than pipes, drains, and water heaters. It plays a critical role in protecting public health and keeping our communities safe!
Here are a few reasons why plumbing is regulated in Illinois:
๐ง1. Protecting Our Drinking Water
Properly installed plumbing helps prevent contamination of our drinking water and protects against dangerous cross-connections and backflow.
๐ฆ 2. Preventing Disease
Safe plumbing systems help prevent waterborne illnesses by ensuring wastewater and sewage are handled properly.
๐ 3. Maintaining Statewide Standards
Illinois has a statewide plumbing code designed to establish consistent technical standards for plumbing systems throughout the state.
๐ฅ 4. Protecting Public Health
Unlike many other construction trades, plumbing directly affects sanitation, clean water, and the health of every community.
๐ง Plumbing isnโt just a tradeโitโs a responsibility!
Licensed plumbing professionals help protect your home, your family, and your community by ensuring plumbing systems are installed and maintained properly.
