A building cannot operate at optimum without the services of a plumber. Users of a building need to have safe water for use and the waste has to be disposed off in a healthy and safe way. This can only be possible through the services of a plumber.
There are a variety of plumbing services that are available depending on the size of the building and the plumbing needs of the specific buildings. Commercial plumbing takes care of all the plumbing needs of large buildings including residential complexes, commercial buildings like large shopping malls and industrial buildings.
Definition
Commercial plumbing has to do with the installation and maintenance of systems that provide water and get rid of waste from buildings, businesses and industries. This type of plumbing is done at a large scale. A commercial plumber is involved in providing the indoor and outdoor plumbing requirements of buildings.
Emergency work is also a big part of commercial plumbing whereby problems including water leaks and blocked drains are fixed to ensure minimum interruption of activities in a building. Normally, a commercial plumber comes to the premises, diagnoses the problem and provides a quote of how much it will cost to get the job done. Once the client gives a go ahead, the plumber will fix the problem as soon as possible to ensure that business continues uninterrupted to avoid loss of revenue.
Tasks In Commercial Plumbing
The main task in commercial plumbing is to ensure that the system of supplying water in the building is working appropriately and that the system for disposing of waste is functioning correctly. The plumber performs certain tasks outdoors which are mainly to dig furrows in order to lay the pipes which will be used to bring in water and drain waste.
The water supply pipes have to be laid in such a way that there is no risk of contamination of the water as this can cause a health hazard. When the piping has been laid, it is connected to the main water and sewage system in that locality. Indoor tasks include the fitting of sinks in the kitchen and bathroom, fitting of water fountains, water sprinklers, toilets and showers.
Commercial Plumbing Types
There are different types of commercial plumbing including hot water plumbing. Buildings will normally require hot water and heating during the cold seasons. Heating systems are prone to breaking down and a plumber will be required to fix the systems. Commercial gas fitters are plumbers who are skilled in the installation, maintenance and repair of appliances in buildings which use gas for instance gas ovens or industrial machinery. There are industries and businesses which require large machines and there are commercial plumbers who are skilled in the maintenance and repair of these machines.
Standards
There are health regulations that are imposed for buildings and a plumber is required to know the standards for the local area. There are also water supply and drainage standards that have to be adhered to and the plumber has to know them and ensure that he complies with them. Plumbers are required to ensure that all the plumbing systems in a building are well maintained in order to reduce the risk of plumbing emergencies.
