subject: Choosing a Good Plumber [print this page] When deciding on plumber training one has to decide what kind of plumber they want to be, they also need to decide just how much money they want to make. This is because the average salary for a plumber is around twenty one dollars and hour, but this applies mainly to residential plumbers. Most people don't realize that there are other plumbing careers besides the guys that come to fix your sink when it breaks.When it comes to naming household inconveniences, nothing can be more irritating and problematic than the plumbing in your home.
