Whether your office building needs a toilet fixed or your auto shop needs a full pipe replacement, we have your back in all things commercial plumbing.
What’s The Difference Between Commercial and Residential Plumbing?
The difference between commercial and residential plumbing largely comes down to technicalities. Commercial plumbing tends to experience a lot more use and thus more wear and tear than the plumbing in a home. This change in usage leads to several key differences that distinguish the types of plumbing. These differences include:
- Differences in local code regulation – Building and plumbing regulations differ from place to place, and there are further differences between commercial and residential settings. Doing any sort of work out of code could lead to you having to spend thousands of dollars having the work corrected.
- Increase in size and scale of work – While all plumbing work is similar, the increased scale of commercial plumbing can also come with an increase in the overall complexity of the system.
- Differences in parts and materials – We’ve all seen a public restroom. The fixtures they tend to use seem far more robust than the dainty toilet handles we use at home. To withstand the increased use, we utilize pipes and fixtures that are more capable of withstanding the increased workload of a business.
- Different/adjusted working hours – Commercial work often requires working at odd hours. Dealing with the disruption of major repairs isn’t peaceful for all businesses during regular business hours. Southern Air will do its best to accommodate whatever plumbing service you need around a time that is convenient to you and your business.
Regardless of the differences, our plumbers are fully qualified to provide comprehensive service to everyone in our community, commercial and residential.
