Commercial Plumbing specifically looks at plumbing processes on a larger scale, that larger scale may include multiple floors of a building or far more sinks and toilets than a residential plumber would need to install or repair.

Commercial Plumbers Are Needed for Big Projects
The size of the plumbing project you need to get done is one indicator of the need to bring in a commercial plumbing service.
The size may refer to the size of the structure, such as a multilevel building, or it may refer the number of water outlets, such as toilets and faucets you need to have installed or maintained.
(In Galion, of course, there aren't a lot of especially tall buildings, at least not yet, but there are a few, and there are also some commercial buildings that have multiple water outlets to maintain.)
Commercial Plumbers Need to Know Building Codes
While all plumbers should be familiar with proper installation of plumbing systems, there are sometimes laws called codes that are specific to commercial buildings.
Bringing in a professional to install or to repair the plumbing in a commercial setting ensures you remain in compliance of local building codes.
If you have questions about these codes in Galion, you could visit the city building and track down the building inspector, or you could hire a professional commercial plumber and let them handle that part.
Installation of Commercial Plumbing Systems
The best time to get it right with plumbing in a commercial building is during installation, if possible.
Some common tasks handled by commercial plumbers include:
- Diagnosing plumbing system issues
- Repairing damaged plumbing
- Water main replacement
Taking the time to make sure everything is properly installed and up to code from the very beginning helps you cut costs in the long run and can simplify the maintenance process for a building's plumbing system.
Maintaining and Repairing Commercial Plumbing Systems
Sewer mains and water heaters are two other key parts of commercial water systems. When you have complications with these types of plumbing components that require leak detection or other types of repair, bringing in a professional plumber or team of plumbers who are skilled in commercial plumbing work can save you time and get everything working properly.
