Not All Plumbers Are the Same
What Is the Difference Between a Residential and Commercial Plumbing Service
There are not as many differences between a residential and a
as things go. As both use the same material and fulfill the same basic functions. However, there are a few distinctions which you should understand when it comes to dealing with a commercial plumber, which we at Melvin's Plumbing & Heating in Gardena, CA have listed below.
Size
The biggest difference will be with the size and extent of commercial plumbing, which generally needs more pipes and outlets than residential ones do. Businesses have to provide toilets and sinks for their customers and employees, this means a significant increase in systems which residential systems just cannot support.
Multiple floors
Residential plumbing generally only has to be installed on 2 floors. However, for example, an office building will normally have multiple floors, and all of which will need the likes of toilets, sinks, etc. also, gravity does play a major role in functioning pipes, and water pressure is considered more important in buildings that have multiple floors. A good plumber will be able to understand this when doing a commercial job.
Various problems
Residential plumbing does have variations with regard to the same basic issues. Commercial plumbing, however, faces a wider variety of issues, all of which requires a greater understanding of potential solutions. Plumbers must know all the current codes and
are prepared for any unforeseen problems which very rarely if ever occur in residential settings.
Residential plumbers will have all the required skills to handle most problems, however, should you have a problem in work, then you must call in an expert who is capable of handling the sheer size, scope and variety of issues that can occur with commercial plumbing systems.
