Types of Domestic and Commercial Plumbing Services

A plumber is a professional who repairs and installs pipes and fittings of your plumbing systems that includes the water supply, sanitation and heating system. They are the persons who ensure that the facilities work when they are required. They ensure that the right pipes are in place and linked to the proper outlet. Domestic and commercial plumbing is essential to homes and businesses.


The main types of plumbers are commercial plumbers, residential (domestic) plumbers and repair & service plumbers.

Commercial Plumbers
Such kinds of plumbers are trained and experienced in large public plumbing systems like shopping centres, hospitals, and schools that may be connected to large industrial equipment. They are responsible for maintaining, repairing and installing pipes in industrial or commercial buildings.
Typically, a plumber who works only for commercial jobs will not have enough job experience and training in residential service and repair. A major difference between a residential plumber and a commercial plumber is the number of pipes and outlets, which have to be dealt with.
In the case of a residential plumbing job, there are much fewer outlets and pipes to deal with. Also, in many cases of residential plumbing jobs, there are only two floors to be dealt with. But, in case of commercial plumbing, there are more toilets, sinks and floors for handling. This might make the job more cumbersome and time-consuming compared to calling a plumber to unclog your kitchen sink.
Another distinctive difference in commercial and residential pipework is the number of problems that they have to handle. Commercial pipework implies much more work than simple pipe repair or fixing a leaky faucet. Such plumbers have to deal with extensive water systems and waste removal for large businesses. This may include laying pipelines and excavating trenches, which link the building to the local water and sewage system.


Residential Plumbing
Residential or domestic plumbers are the common ones called for small pipework jobs. They train and gain experience by working on residential jobs like new additions to homes and new constructions. Residential plumbers are typically experts at the installation of pipe systems in residential homes. They often do not have the training and experience to pull off commercial jobs, but they do have the competence to fix the pipework in one’s home.
Residential plumbers are vital to ensure that the toilets and water systems work smoothly in the home. They install and troubleshoot pipework mechanisms to maintain smooth functioning. Experts recommend that a homeowner must employ a plumber every year to check the pipework systems in his home.  The last thing one wants in the dead of winter is for the toilet to stop working. Major catastrophes can be avoided by regular maintenance.

Repair and Service Plumbers
A repair and service plumber is a kind of plumber one usually considers when the commercial or domestic pipework system needs repair. Such plumbers get technical training and have experience in solving problems of pipework in homes and offices. They need to be customer-friendly as they normally work with the client directly.

Basic Kinds of Plumbing Services
