We wanted to post a pun today about clogged pipes, but the search for one was pretty draining.

To test plumbing in an older commercial property, try this: Turn on the hot water tap. If water pressure seems low, it’s a classic indicator the plumbing features galvanized pipe, which is prone to internal corrosion that reduces water flow.

In a typical home, more than 9,000 gallons of water are wasted while running the faucet waiting for hot water. As much as 15% of your annual water heating costs can be wasted heating this extra 9,000 gallons.

Basically, any commercial water piping installation where there is the possibility that a harmful substance may gain access to a drinking water supply must have a backflow protection device installed.

If you think the economy is making a recovery, you're in good company. Many building trades are projected to increase their revenues over the next five years. In fact, the annual growth rate for the plumbing industry is over 4 percent.

PEX plumbing can be a smart choice for commercial buildings. Why? Because it’s flexible, and it requires fewer connection points, which speeds installation and minimizes potential leak points. Once installed, it’s clean, quiet, freeze-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.

Why hire a pro? Because we know commercial plumbing. CPVC pipe, for instance, should only be air-tested at reduced pressures. This helps protect pipe integrity and avoids the risk of potential damage to the system or building.

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.

Although PEX piping has a slightly higher initial cost, its minimal maintenance and fast installation process make it ideal for commercial applications. Since it is virtually leak free, it offers certain advantages over copper piping.

So what is an escutcheon when it comes to plumbing installations? This refers to a decorative metal trim ring that encircles a pipe when it comes out of the wall, improving the overall appearance.

Did you know that PEX plumbing pipes have quickly become a favorite in commercial applications due to their high level of durability and minimal maintenance requirements? In fact, more than 2 billion feet of PEX have been installed in North America along.

Many commercial plumbing installations utilize CPVC pipe. What is it? CPVC is a thermoplastic chlorinated polyvinyl chloride pipe designed to carry hot and cold water. More affordable than copper, it’s more resistant to high heat than traditional PVC pipe.

Did you know licensed plumbing contractors have a business license? This means they run their own plumbing business, one that lives and dies by customer reputation and Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings. It means they are held to a higher standard, one based on quality work and ethics.

It’s important to remember that you don’t always have to rely on your general contractor to select the plumbing installation team for your new building. When you need the ability to have more direct control over the plumbing aspect of your building, we’re always here for you.

So how exactly do instant hot water systems work? These are recirculation systems that continually circulate hot water throughout your home. This can save you water, energy, and money by eliminating the need to waste water while you wait for the hot water to arrive.
