The problems these two systems of plumbing, residential and commercial plumbing systems, are essentially very similar: damaged toilets, leaky faucets, and the like. However, there is a significant distinction between the two especially when it comes to the number of people served by these plumbing systems. The range of the repairs is therefore also quite diverse because of this. The sort of plumber needed to make these repairs is also dependent on whether or not the system is designed for commercial or residential use. It is a frequent false impression that they are dealt with in the same way.
Commercial plumbing systems are intended to serve a large number of people over a large portion of the day. Residential plumbing, on the other hand, is targeted at meeting the needs of one family where most of the members are home in the early mornings or evenings. This makes commercial plumbing systems automatically more complex as it has to manage more waste products to provide more people with water over a much bigger tract of the day.
Maintaining commercial plumbing systems is also more periodic than that of its residential equivalent. Most of the time, a plumber is needed for repairs in residential areas only if there is a breakdown. Repairs also need a considerably lesser amount of time due to the more basic style of the plumbing system. Commercial systems, in order to prevent disruptions, need regular preventive servicing. If trouble occurs, the whole plumbing system should be examined before starting repairs. It can not just be dug up, checked, and then repaired– in a manner of speaking.
It is said that a household plumber would have problems repairing commercial plumbing systems. This is true if the residential plumber is used to fixing only residential plumbing. If large residential complexes are dealt with by the plumber on a regular basis then the work he actually does is akin to that of a commercial plumber. This is mainly because, in these sorts of residences, the plumbing system is the same as that in industrial buildings.
Commercial plumbers on the other hand can handle residential plumbing without much difficulty. The troubles they face are more complex than those encountered in one-family houses. They also were trained in their industry longer so possess greater credentials than those who specialize only in residential plumbing.
