A building cannot function properly without the essential services of a plumber. Safe water for use in the building and safe disposal of waste will give the users of a building a clean environment in which they can go about their activities. Appliances in the building which use water like sinks, showers and toilets can sometimes get blocked and a plumber will ensure that blockages are quickly resolved. There are different types of plumbing which address various needs and commercial plumbing takes care of the plumbing needs of commercial buildings.
About Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing involves installing and maintaining large scale systems for the supply of water and removal of waste for different types of businesses, industries, and large buildings. A commercial plumber will address the plumbing needs of these facilities for instance installation and repair of pipes or unblocking clogged drains.
Commercial plumbing involves a lot of emergency work whereby any plumbing problem like a water leak which disrupts business is quickly addressed. When a commercial plumber gets to your premises, he will assess the problem and give you a quote of how much the repair work will cost. He will then get down to work in order to resolve the problem. This ensures that work will continue in the premises uninterrupted thus getting rid of the risk of losses.
Types Of Commercial Plumbing
Hot water plumbing is an important aspect of commercial plumbing as broken down heating systems can be repaired to ensure that hot water runs in the premises uninterrupted. Businesses which use large machines require regular servicing and repair.
There are commercial plumbers who are skilled in dealing with commercial machines and will be able to identify the problem in the machines and repair and service them. In premises where gas is used as a source of energy, commercial gas fitters will be needed to install, repair and maintain appliances that use gas for instance commercial ovens or industrial equipment.
Role Of Plumbers
The work of the commercial plumber is to ensure that the water supply system is functioning properly and that the waste pipes are draining properly. When the plumber is installing a water supply and drainage system, he has to dig up trenches and lay out the pipes. He then has to connect them to the local water and sewage system.
While laying out the piping, the plumber has to ensure that the water supply system is kept away from any contamination. Once the outdoor plumbing system has been properly laid out, the indoor plumbing of the building is done. Internal plumbing of the building may include installing water fountains, kitchen and bathroom sinks, toilets, showers and fire sprinklers.
Maintenance
An important aspect of commercial plumbing is the maintenance of the water and drainage systems of the building, including the heating systems. A plumber will have to ensure that the drains in an establishment that deals with food are clear from food or grease which can easily cause a blockage.
The plumber also needs to know the health regulations so that he can comply with them. He needs to ensure that the standards of water supply and waste drainage are as per the local codes and regulations of commercial buildings.
