Terms of Use

Last updated: August 2026

Welcome to RoughPlumb. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use.

Educational Information

RoughPlumb provides general plumbing education, troubleshooting guidance, planning information, product and part information, and related educational resources.

Plumbing systems vary by property, installation, product, age, condition and jurisdiction. Information provided through RoughPlumb should not be treated as a confirmed diagnosis, inspection, engineering determination, code approval, or substitute for qualified on-site professional judgment.

Safety

Plumbing work can involve pressurized water, hot water, electricity, gas, sewage, structural components and other hazards.

Users are responsible for determining whether a task can be performed safely and whether a qualified or licensed professional is required.

Stop work and seek appropriate professional assistance whenever conditions are unsafe, uncertain, outside your experience, or potentially subject to licensing, permit or inspection requirements.

Codes and Regulations

Plumbing codes, regulations, manufacturer requirements and accepted practices can vary between jurisdictions and can change over time.

RoughPlumb may discuss common practices and general code considerations, but users are responsible for verifying requirements with the applicable authority, manufacturer or qualified professional before performing work.

Accuracy

RoughPlumb aims to provide useful and accurate information, but no website can account for every installation or condition.

Information may contain errors, omissions or information that is not applicable to a particular property or plumbing system. Users should independently verify information before relying on it for installation, repair or purchasing decisions.

Products and Parts

Product descriptions, compatibility information and part-identification assistance are provided for informational purposes.

Always confirm model numbers, dimensions, specifications, compatibility and manufacturer requirements before purchasing or installing a product or replacement part.

Affiliate Links

RoughPlumb may contain affiliate links. RoughPlumb may receive compensation when a visitor makes a qualifying purchase through certain links. This generally does not increase the price paid by the visitor.

Affiliate relationships do not determine whether plumbing information is presented as safe or appropriate.

External Websites

RoughPlumb may link to manufacturers, retailers and other third-party websites. RoughPlumb does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, policies or practices of those websites.

Limitation of Responsibility

You are responsible for decisions and actions you take based on information obtained through RoughPlumb.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, RoughPlumb is not responsible for losses, damages, injuries, property damage or other consequences arising from the use or misuse of information provided through the website.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits rights or responsibilities that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Changes

RoughPlumb may update these Terms as the website, its features and its services evolve.
