There are approximately 3,300 qualified Plumbers who live and work in Adelaide, generally working fulltime, providing services to meet the plumbing needs of the South Australian community in mostly metropolitan suburbs, with a smaller number enlisted to oversee the rural outskirts. More than half of the male dominated workforce of Adelaide plumbers are less than 45 years of age, with the number of migrant plumbers in Adelaide steadily rising (with a new migrants course for plumbing a mandatory requirement for employment in this state).

In Adelaide plumbing, it is the installation, maintenance and repair of plumbing systems (both sewage and stormwater) in domestic dwellings which make up the bulk of call outs, with work at industrial and commercial settings still abundant. Gas fitting is regularly paired with plumbing services, for those professionals who are qualified in both trades. Emergency after hours plumbing services are available for those homeowners who prefer the convenience of instant plumbing assistance (usually within an hour) or have an urgent situation needing a prompt remedy such as a burst water pipe, ruptured hot water system, flooded bathroom or non-flushing toilet. These are examples of fairly common dilemmas that must be attended to without delay!

Under the Plumbing, Gas Fitter and Electricians Act 1995, Plumbers who are employed in South Australia must hold a specific plumbing license to be able to legally perform any plumbing related work, which is issued by the SA government office of Consumer and Business Services (CBS). In order to gain that license, plumbers in Adelaide spend one to three years working and learning on the job skills in a plumbing apprenticeship or school based traineeship (with set probationary periods). Adelaide plumbers must also gain a Certificate III in plumbing by completing formalised education courses. In South Australia there are strict legislations regarding health and safety of plumbers, the environment and of the public. Working conditions must adhere to Occupational Health and Safety standards. An example of where safety is paramount is with the historical use of asbestos in roofing, pipes and in the lagging on pipes. Employers of Adelaide plumbers must legally supervise and train their tradesmen in proper conduct and provide protective personal equipment for use when coming into contact with asbestos.
