We at Pure-Line Plumbing offer a wide range of plumbing services, and we work with both residential and commercial clients. In our experience, many people are not familiar with the differences between the two types of plumbing, so we have put together this article to shed some light on the matter. Keep reading to learn more about what sets residential and commercial plumbing apart.
- Size – One key difference between residential and commercial plumbing systems is their size. Most commercial buildings are significantly larger than residential ones—think of the difference in size between a department store and a single family home—so the plumbing systems in commercial buildings are larger, too. This difference means commercial plumbing projects require a different approach, and they frequently require the work of multiple plumbers at once.
- Daily Use – A second important difference between residential and commercial plumbing systems is the amount of daily use each type is subjected to. The plumbing system in a small family home sees relatively light use compared to the one in a large office building. Our team is familiar with the different requirements for these two types of systems, and we will make sure your plumbing continues to function optimally under the conditions you operate in.
- Complexity – A third difference between residential and commercial plumbing systems is their relative complexity. Compared to residential systems, commercial plumbing set-ups are highly complex, involving potentially dozens of toilets, sinks, showers, washing machines, etc. No matter how complex your business’ plumbing is, you can count on us to keep it in great condition.
