Older commercial buildings have a lot of history, but they also tend to have a lot of old pipes, many of which don’t comply with modern building codes. Don’t worry. A commercial plumber will be able to take care of all the upgrades needed to get them up to code.
While it really isn’t a big surprise, the most commonly dropped item down a sink is jewelry. The soapy water you’re using to wash your dishes is probably going to slide your rings right off your fingers, so remember to either take off all your jewelry, or use a mesh guard in the sink while washing your dishes.

It’s important to remember that building codes can change significantly over time. If you’ve recently purchased an older building to use for your business, you may want to have us install new plumbing equipment to ensure you don’t end up with hefty fines.

Did you know a plumbing contractor can help you save money on your monthly water bills? A plumbing inspection can reveal just which faucets are not up to snuff, if you have the right size and type of hot water heater, and if you can benefit from an energy efficient shower head!

It’s important to remember that all the additional pipes in a commercial building can make its plumbing system more difficult to reconfigure during a renovation. When you need a plumbing contractor with the experience you can count on, we’re always here for you.
Unfortunately, the combination of hair and personal hygiene products going down the drain can cause blockages that slow the water draining from the shower. If you’re tired of your shower being a wading pool, we may be able to help.
Did you know that some of the earliest plumbing was done for commercial services? Back in Ancient Rome, they ran aqueducts and lead pipes to bring water to the city, and a lot of that water went to the public baths.
Do you ever feel like you aren’t as clean as you should be after a shower because you had to stand in several inches of bath water? If your water isn’t properly draining, we can help.
It’s important to remember that providing a functional sink in your break room can help employees to maintain sanitary conditions with their food. If your employees have no option but to get water from the bathroom sink or a water fountain, we may be able to help you install the additional plumbing you really need.
Want to clean the jets on your showerhead for better water flow? You may need a new showerhead to fix a structural problem or deterioration due to oxidation. If you have simple lime scale buildup, though, try spraying the showerhead with undiluted white vinegar.
Unfortunately, most of our plumbing is behind walls, under floors, or inside cabinets, so it can be hard to know something’s wrong until it becomes a huge problem. When a commercial plumber checks your system regularly, his or her experienced eye can spot issues before they become problems.
Care to guess in what year the Romans built the first utility aqueduct designed to supply fresh drinking water to their thirsty and pampered citizens? If you guessed 144 B.C., you're right.
There are several reasons why regular preventative maintenance and regular inspections are recommended for plumbing systems in commercial buildings. Not only do they cut down on costly repairs, but they can also eliminate the disruption to your business that an unexpected plumbing failure can cause.
Hard water can leave deposits in the siphon jet hole or the swirl holes of bowl rims, causing a weak flush. Fortunately, we can clean these out for you and restore the flushing power you expect.
PEX pipe is replacing copper and CPVC in some commercial installations. Why? Its cross-linked molecular structure means it’s very durable and flexible. It’s available in 1,000-foot lengths, which speeds installation and reduces the number of fittings and connections required to plumb large commercial structures.
The technologies of old civilizations were incredibly advanced for their times. Ancient Egyptians actually had very complex water piping systems. In fact, the Egyptians built their pipes out of copper, the leading material for piping in the modern world.
As much as 80 percent of new commercial buildings use PEX plumbing pipe. Why? Unlike CPVC or copper, PEX can expand up to three times its original diameter without cracking or splitting, so it resists leaks from blockages, freezing, and pressure.

If you are installing gas-fired appliances, a plumbing contractor is the professional contractor to call for connecting and calibrating them. Part of a plumber’s training involves understanding gas delivery systems and how to properly connect them to appliances in the home.
