plumbers lu 8

The plumber, having earned the reputation for protecting the health of the nation, is responsible for installing, maintaining, and servicing any system that involves water, waste, and medical or natural gas in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings. A plumber installs fixtures and appliances and trains to become a certified welder as well as an expert in valve repair and backflow prevention.

The highly skilled members of Local 8 have been protecting the health of Kansas City since 1890. Our Industry Skills mark a quality guarantee on every membership card issued by Plumbers Local 8. When you employ a Local 8 plumber, you can rest assured that you have a quality specialist prepared to complete your project no matter how complex or small on time and within budget.

What sets Local 8 apart is the quality guarantee in protecting health through a belief that the industry demands a five-year training program, licensing, and more. Our Apprenticeship training — the only one of its kind in our area — applies classroom instruction to the project site, "hands-on" work experience, and then testing to achieve a license and certifications. After completion, our licensed and certified Journeymen continue furthering their education and upgrading their skills within our changing industry.

Local 8 can boldly state "quality guarantee" while others cannot because of this reason: five years and more of a highly trained and specialized workforce for its partner Contractors in residential plus commercial new construction and service solidly meets your needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
