Tips for Finding an Industrial Plumber

When people hear the word "plumber," they usually think of a person that shows up at their house with a toolbox to fix a leak or a clogged drain. These plumbers are an integral part of society, and they're in high demand in every city around the country. 

But there is a whole other subset of plumbers that work on industrial systems. Industrial plumbers have specialized education and training requirements that allow them to specialize. Read on to learn more about the difference between residential and industrial plumbers.

Common Residential Plumbing Services 

Residential plumbers are the most known to the public. If a plumbing-related accident happens in the home, they're the ones who will come and fix it. residential plumbersMost households have similar plumbing systems, so when residential plumbers learn to fix those common issues, they can apply them to different houses. 

Plumbing systems in commercial buildings tend to be a little more complicated. Plus, most people who work in industrial buildings don't ever see an industrial plumber. Usually, the superintendent or the building manager is the only one in direct contact with an industrial plumber when something needs to be fixed.

Industrial Plumbing Requirements

One of the big differences between industrial and residential plumbing is their pipes. In houses, the pipes in the system are only designed for so much usage. In a house with four toilets, the system isn't designed to handle twenty. Why would it be?

But in a commercial or industrial setting, the pipes need to handle much more volume. As a result, the pipes are larger and more heavy-duty. Industrial plumbers don't just fix plumbing issues, they also install complex plumbing systems for large-scale construction projects such as theme parks, hospitals, schools, and stadiums. They require special training because these projects are so complex.

There is a wide range of commercial plumbing services. Here are some of the common services:

  • Sump Pump: For fixing, testing, and installation of sump pumps, commercial plumbers are the way to go. 
  • Sewer Lines: Industrial plumbers work on broken or corroded sewer lines, including replacing and repairing the damaged lines.
  • Restaurant Services: Restaurants commonly have issues with clogs and disposals. Industrial plumbers can also tack issues with grease traps.
  • Backflow: Backflow is when dirty flows up a clean pipe, which can contaminate clean water. Commercial plumbers train to handle backflow services.
  • Industrial Toilet Systems: Buildings with lots of restrooms can experience problems just like houses can. Luckily, industrial plumbers can fix these issues to get companies back to business as usual.
  • Water Heaters: Businesses need hot water as much as homes, and sometimes those water heaters break or start to leak. Industrial plumbers know how to handle commercial water heater problems. 
  • Leak Repair: Finding a leak in a large building with a complex plumbing system can be difficult, which is why industrial plumbers have special training and equipment to locate and repair the leak.

Since commercial plumbing systems have more volume and need to be fixed quickly, industrial plumbers are usually on call 24/7 and ready for anything. A plumbing problem can cost a business a lot of money if it's not fixed promptly, which is why commercial plumbers are well-trained and ready to work at any time.
