Plumbing, from the Latin for lead (plumbum), is the skilled trade of working with pipes for water, drainage and natural gas. Plumbing originated during the Roman Empire as the Romans developed public baths and needed to provide fresh water and drainage. The piping used to convey the water and waste was often made of lead. Now we understand the dangers of lead, which is highly toxic if consumed and dangerous to the environment. As a result, nearly all manufactured plumbing products and materials are lead free, today. A plumber is someone who installs or repairs piping systems, plumbing fixtures and equipment such as water heaters and boilers.
