Why you should get involved this hug a plumber day

April 16, 2016

Plumbing may not be the most glamorous of topics, but that doesn’t mean it’s one that should be forgotten, nor should the tradesmen and women who keep those pipes and pumps working properly. That’s just one of the reasons to help celebrate this year’s Hug a Plumber Day.

Most people don’t know that April 25, 2016, is officially the day to give your friendly plumber – or plumbing a great big cuddle. Why? First, it sometimes pays to think about where you might be without their services – knee deep in dirty water perhaps – and second, it can do both of you some good.

In fact, whether it’s your plumber you’re hugging or your best friend, experts believe that the simple act of hugging can be really beneficial to your health and wellbeing. I spoke with online pump distributors, Pump Sales Direct to take a look at some of the very real reasons to get those cuddles at the ready and get involved in National Hug a Plumber Day.

It’s a trust thing

Hugging can be a great way of bonding, forging good communication channels, and building up a trusting relationship.

Fighting fears

According to the Huffington Post, hugging can be really effective when it comes to alleviating fears. A warm cuddle can really help to ease anxiety and make you feel calmer and less afraid, whatever the situation.

We also aim to alleviate your fears by offering a wide product range and easily accessible advice and assistance if you find yourself facing water issues in and around your home. We may not be able to give you a hug when you find your cellar flooded with dirty water or can’t have a shower because of lower water pressure yet again, but we can offer the help and equipment you need to solve problems and prevent you from feeling bad again.

Good for your heart

Your heart can sink when your home plumbing or old pumps go wrong, but once again, we’re on hand to offer you the specialist advice and equipment you need when you need it and to tell you why a hug is also great for your heart.

A big cuddle can actually slow your heart rate, decrease stress and make you feel less lonely. The benefits do not end there; hugging therapy is now widely accepted as an effective form of treatment for a huge range of conditions, ranging from depression and stress to serious physical diseases.

What are you waiting for? Hug a plumber this April 25th!
