S Waters Plumbing

One of the biggest elements that differentiates commercial from residential plumbing lies in the complexity of the two systems. Commercial plumbing systems need to be designed to serve a large number of people over a large portion of the day.

It’s important to remember that one misstep when dealing with your plumbing can leave your home a wet and unsanitary place. When you can’t afford to have one of your most important rooms out of commission, we’re always available to help.

Emergency devices such as showers or eyewash units might not seem like a big deal, at least until someone really needs them. A commercial plumber can not only install these safety fixtures; he or she can also perform checkups, so you’ll know you can count on them to work.

It’s said that a leaky faucet that drips once per second can waste more than eight gallons a day. Also, replacing an old shower head can save as many as seven-and-a-half gallons of water per minute without sacrificing full spray action at low or high water pressures.

An interesting example of an early pressurized water plumbing system has been discovered in a Mayan city near Palenque, Mexico. Built sometime between 100 and 800 AD, the system combines aqueducts, gravity, and deliberate constriction to pressurize the water flow.
