Interest in plumbing courses may rise after one source noted that problems can easily arise in new homes as well as older properties.

Writing for Helium, Joe Brooks claimed that plumbing issues tend to reveal themselves at the most inopportune moments.

All of this may spur people on to take plumbing courses or hire a professional who has completed such training to check over their pipes.

"Your stylish and beautiful new home may conceal a multitude of problems in the walls and under the floors," Mr Brooks explained.

In his experience, despite the need to test the plumbing in new homes, there can often be mistakes made or issues that do not present themselves initially.

Commenting on the same website, Stanley Roberts highlighted how other common problems he has found in new homes are loose fixtures, hot and cold water taps in the wrong places and small leaks.
