Description:Excerpt from The Pneumatic Test: System of Inspecting Plumbing and DrainageIT is a common remark of the householder that one is at the mercy of plumbers; if you apply to them to tell you about the condition of the drains, they come in and go all over the house ina mysterious, solemn way, there is a strong odor of peppermint, and you are told that the pipes are all out of order, and that the only safe way is to replace the whole thing with new modern work. You have it done, and six months later, if another plumber is invited to give an opinion on this very same new plumb ing, there will be the same odor of peppermint, and the same advice to rip the pipes all out.The truth is, that the plumber's method of testing is worse than worthless, because it is misleading. He is as apt to get the odor of peppermint with a perfectly good job as with a'bad one, and some plumbers who are not strictly conscientious do not hesitate to produce the odor anyhow and 'scare the householder into giving them a job of work, while the fairly honest man will give his trade the benefit of the doubt, and advise new work as the only guarantee of absolute safety. This is. The general re sult of asking a plumber to report upon the condition of the traps and drains in any house, so much so that people are actually afraid to admit that they have any doubt about their plumbing, and go on simply hoping that the accident of sickness will not strike in their individual household.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
