In times past, man has elevated plumbing to significant levels. History reveals that one of the fundamental differences between civilization and barbarism is related to the installation of piping systems for the adequate supply of drinking water, gray water sanitation and efficient and indisputable provision of rainwater. However in our continent plumbing did not progress until 1800, some wealthy people of the time built plumbing facilities in their homes with very little efficiency. After the American Civil War, the development of plumbing began slowly but systematically. The utility of water supply and wastewater disposal systems became more evident and plumbing was seen as a necessity rather than a luxury. In the early twentieth century, plumbing began to progress more quickly, scientific methods were applied to the construction of plumbing facilities.
