How Plumbing Promotes Health and Environmental Stability

As we celebrate World Plumbing Day 2025, let’s take a moment to acknowledge the role plumbers play in promoting health and environmental stability in our community.

Many of us take for granted how plumbing improves our daily lives. Modern day advances in plumbing methods and technology go even further to provide greater convenience, improved health and increased protection of our environment.

Plumbing and Your Health

Globally, we’ve seen how plumbing improvements result in longer and healthier lives for disadvantaged communities. But closer to home, aging infrastructure puts the health of millions of Americans at risk.

Plumbers employ advanced systems to identify risks to your health, potentially caused by aging plumbing infrastructure. Replacing pipes, drainage systems and hardware can protect your home from mold and water waste caused by leaks. Also, as pipes age, there is a risk of bacteria and corrosion causing unwanted health hazards for your family.

Hiring plumbers trained to advise and mitigate any issues is important to maintaining a healthy household.

Green Plumbing: Promoting Environmental Stability

Although the concept of environmentally conscious plumbing has been around a long time, the idea of green plumbing began to attract more attention in the year 2000 with the formation of GreenPlumbers®, a global initiative of dedicated technicians. The GreenPlumbers® USA branch of the organization has attracted members from across the country, including your favorite Brooklyn plumber, Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Pipe Cleaning. In fact, we were the first certified green plumbers in New York City.

What do that certification and GreenPlumbers license mean for our business? As a member of GreenPlumbers, we’ve agreed to train our entire team to use the most advanced technologies and products to provide all consumers with water and energy savings. With this license, we also agree to stay up to date about local rebates and incentives for making good ecological decisions and to pass that information along to customers. As a consumer, you can be sure that using our services means you’re guaranteed by our training and licensing to provide you with the best service possible while safeguarding the environment.

It All Adds Up

There is no denying how advances in plumbing and the availability of professional plumbers improve the daily lives of millions of people. Having reliable waste and water control systems in place protects our waterways and clean drinking water. And by hiring plumbers who make it their mission to implement green plumbing solutions in all your plumbing needs is a great way to maintain this system.
