Rice Plumbing & Heating

The original meaning of plumber is someone who works with lead. This may be related to the fact that the Romans used folded-seam lead pipes to transport water into central baths, as evidenced by early Roman baths unearthed in the city of Bath, England.

Did you know that, with waterless commercial urinals, there are no moving parts in the entire system? This means that maintenance costs are significantly reduced. In addition, this type of fixture offers water-saving benefits.

Were you aware that toilets consume more than 40 percent of your total water usage? If you want to conserve water, installing a new toilet flapper and fill valve will keep your toilet running efficiently.

We agree: The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water. (John W. Gardiner)

It’s important to remember that all the additional pipes in a commercial building can make its plumbing system more difficult to reconfigure during a renovation. When you need a plumbing contractor with the experience you can count on, we’re always here for you.

Unfortunately, the combination of hair and personal hygiene products going down the drain can cause blockages that slow the water draining from the shower. If you’re tired of your shower being a wading pool, we may be able to help.

Did you know that some of the earliest plumbing was done for commercial services? Back in Ancient Rome, they ran aqueducts and lead pipes to bring water to the city, and a lot of that water went to the public baths.

Do you ever feel like you aren’t as clean as you should be after a shower because you had to stand in several inches of bath water? If your water isn’t properly draining, we can help.

Older commercial buildings have a lot of history, but they also tend to have a lot of old pipes, many of which don’t comply with modern building codes. Don’t worry. A commercial plumber will be able to take care of all the upgrades needed to get them up to code.

While it really isn’t a big surprise, the most commonly dropped item down a sink is jewelry. The soapy water you’re using to wash your dishes is probably going to slide your rings right off your fingers, so remember to either take off all your jewelry, or use a mesh guard in the sink while washing your dishes.
