A plumbing technician is a skilled professional who installs, maintains, and repairs residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. They work with pipes, fixtures, water heaters, and drainage systems to facilitate proper water flow and waste disposal. Unlike master plumbers, plumbing technicians typically focus on hands-on service, repairs, and installations rather than complex system design or extensive project management.
