Hot and cold water systems were already developed by the Greeks, but to the stalwart, individualistic Spartan, it was unmanly to use hot water. His idea of the bath tub was a polished marble bowl about 30" in height. He would stand in the tub, and have a slave douse him with water over his head and his body. The sole purpose was a quick, functional, cold rinse-the colder, the quicker! Thus Grecian bath houses never developed hot water systems as extensively as the Romans.

The baths of the Emperor Caracalla, for example, covered nearly a 28 acre site. It contained more than 1,600 marble seats, and still fell short of the baths of Diocletian, which seated over 3,000. "Stupendous aqueducts," reported Gibbons in the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, "replenished the Thermae, or baths, constructed with Imperial magnificence...walls covered with mosaics; perpetual streams of hot water poured into capacious basins through so many wide mouths of bright and massy silver."

History Of Plumbing

 While early pipe and conduit was made from wood or earthenware, later refinement to lead made skilled workers in lead indispensable. The Latin term "plumbus" means "lead," as was also the weight at the end of a line for perpendicular alignment. The plumber was a worker in lead who, in today's connotation, repairs or fits the apparatus of water distribution in and to a building. The Roman artisan plumbed pipe, soldered, installed and repaired; he worked on roofs and gutters, down to sewers and drains; in essence, everything involving supply and waste. In fact, this general job description of plumbers' work lasted into the 20th century.

Roman society, on the other hand, fostered a communal spirit, and barracks camaraderie for its troops. The public baths were the city centers of group enjoyment, places of gossip and contacts. To prolong their pleasure and relaxation, they developed hot water and steam systems that evolved to service colossal structures. Some would say that the Roman bath houses by early A.D. would pale only next to those of King Minos.

          When you have found your plumber and they have carried out the job, if they have done a good job, keep their number. That way, until you move or if they go out of business, you will always have a good plumber to hand. And that is no bad thing as fewer and fewer people are training to be plumbers. Moreover, if you move away from the area or even if the plumber retires, there is a chance they will be able to recommend an equally good plumber for you to use in the future. Plumbers are hard to come by and they should be recommended wherever possible. This way, you will both be rewarding your plumber for their good work in your home but also helping out friend and family who may be finding the task to Find a Plumber a troublesome activity.
