Installs and repairs plumbing systems in residential and commercial buildings.
Plumbing is physical labor in physical space. AI can't remotely unclog your toilet. The only real automation threat is housing stock shrinkage (fewer new builds) and prefab modular plumbing (reducing on-site labor). Regulatory licensing is a real moat. This is maybe the last skilled trade that stays mostly human because the problem is local, physical, and involves judgment you can't automate. That said, demand is tied to construction cycles; a recession hits harder than any AI.
