Commercial Plumbing Has Special Needs
You probably don’t think about plumbers or plumbing very often—until something goes wrong in your home or the building where you work. Then, you need to know a little bit more about the industry so you can get the repairs you need quickly and efficiently. When you are at home and the toilet leaks, you call a residential plumber and they take care of things for you. However, when you own a commercial building of some kind and something goes wrong, that same plumber may not be able to care for the problem. Commercial plumbing, while it is the same in the most basic forms, is a lot larger in scale and requires a special set of skills. Here are a few reasons why you need a commercial plumber for a commercial plumbing job.
Reason 1: Commercial Experience
Even if the plumber you use at home has years of experience, if they don’t have experience in a commercial setting, they can’t necessarily complete a commercial plumbing job. Commercial buildings likely have a lot more plumbing to them and a lot more that can go wrong. Someone with residential plumbing skills may or may not be able to pinpoint and fix the issue. The more experience in the commercial field, the better the outcome will likely be for your situation.
Reason 2: The Right Training
It only makes sense that there are more pipes involved in a commercial building than in a home. Those piping systems take a certain level of training. Homes are one, maybe two stories high. Commercial buildings can be much more than that. A home has one, two, or maybe three toilets. Commercial buildings can have long lines of stalls all in one bathroom. And a bathroom on every floor. These issues can arise in any number of areas and commercial plumbers are trained to care for them.
Reason 3: Guarantees on Their Work
Most plumbers offer guarantees on their work so if anything goes wrong because of something they did (or didn’t do), then they will come back and fix the issue again without an extra charge. You can’t necessarily get this kind of guarantee from a residential plumber working in a commercial setting. Instead, go to someone who knows enough about the work to confidently feel like nothing will go wrong. They offer these guarantees to show you they back their work up.
Finding Commercial Plumbing Issues
You might not always know when something is going wrong in a commercial plumbing line. It’s important to have a relationship with a commercial plumber and have those pipes and plumbing areas inspected regularly. It’s a lot easier to see a problem coming and fix it than it is to be reactive to it and deal with a big problem and possibly a huge mess later.
