What are the main differences between commercial vs. residential plumbing?
In case you were wondering, here are the primary differences between a residential vs. commercial plumber:
Residential Plumbing:
In residential plumbing, however, contractors typically will encounter the same types of problems because most houses in the Los Angeles County area follow the same basic plumbing building codes, so naturally, maintenance across multiple houses will tend to be similar.
- Residential plumbing usually does not require maintenance or inspection of more than 1-2 floors, which makes fixing plumbing issues easier and less risky.
- In the residential plumbing industry, houses do not tend to be larger than 2,000 - 4,000 square feet. This means that the materials required are less than that of a commercial plumbing job.
- Residential plumbing allows for a greater level of specialization, because the problems tend to be similar to eachother from house-to-house.
Commercial Plumbing:
Commercial plumbing is unique because it is so widely varied in applications, needs, demands, price ranges, and services – and all solutions must be packaged in a convenient and economic contract between the commercial plumbing contractor and the property manager.
- Commercial plumbing jobs often need to access multiple floors/stories where plumbing systems can become more intricate and complex.
- Industrial and commercial plumbing usually requires not only more materials due to larger areas which need to be covered, but also more manpower and experience.
- Commercial plumbers must be prepared for a wide variety of plumbing and rooter maintenance/repair problems which may never occur during a residential plumbing job.
Do I need a commercial plumbing contractor for my property, or can I just hire a residential plumber for the job?
That depends – would you let your dentist perform open-heart surgery on you?
Unlike a residential plumber, a commercial plumber must approach each situation differently because it is very rare that any two commercial plumbing/rooter problems are the same. Commercial plumbers must be highly specialized and familiar with different building codes associated with commercial properties, and be comfortable operating within those codes and standard operating procedures. This means that, for every time a commercial plumber is called to an apartment complex, restaurant, industrial building, or other commercial property, that contractor must tackle the issue at hand using creative and unconventional thinking.
Commercial plumbing contractors must be flexible in terms of operational hours – that’s why Western Rooter is available for emergency commercial plumbing calls 24/7.
