Understanding Commercial Plumbing

Commercial plumbing in Toronto requires a different skill set to a residential plumbing project in Toronto itself. It is a specialist area concerning plumbing for such enterprises as shopping centers, hotels, large strata buildings, factories and education facilities. A commercial Toronto plumber has to have the particular knowledge required to install and maintain hygienic, user-friendly and energy efficient facilities for these buildings.

The difference between plumbing requirements for an ordinary building and, e.g., a shopping center is vast. For example, bathrooms need a lot more planning and attention to energy conservation and hygiene, due to the number of units. This applies to all bathroom plumbing features. For instance, a commercial plumber can install waterless urinals, automatically flushing toilets and touch-free technology.

In buildings, backflow prevention Toronto devices are vital for health and safety where there is the potential for contaminated water to enter the drinking water supply system. Commercial Toronto plumbers will assess risk levels and install backflow prevention devices where cross connections exist. This is both legally required and essential to avoid risk of illness and even death. Only licensed plumbers who have achieved accreditation as backflow plumbers can install backflow devices.

A commercial plumber has a completely different set of mechanical equipment to a purely residential plumber. This is because commercial plumbing simply takes place on a larger scale. Where a home may have a hot water tank, most large commercial buildings have a boiler system. While home residences can make do with guttering, commercial buildings usually require a roof drainage system. While a home residence may simply have a fire extinguisher, a commercial building may have a fire hydrant or fire hoses to maintain.
