If your business is as old as ours, there’s a very good chance you could be in need of commercial plumbing replacement. Even just forty to fifty years ago, the materials making up the plumbing systems of businesses and commercial spaces throughout Colorado Springs were prone to corrosion. This means they are still prone to leaks and ruptures. This is especially true in the wintertime when water freezes and causes the plumbing pipes to expand and contract. Don’t let your commercial space suffer from flooding or any interruption in service due to a plumbing mishap. Contact our team for commercial plumbing inspections, and to assess your space to see what your commercial plumbing replacement needs might be.Colorado Springs Commercial Plumbing Repair

How is commercial plumbing different from residential plumbing?
Scale and consequence. Commercial systems run larger pipe, higher fixture counts and continuous duty, and they carry code requirements residential work does not — backflow prevention with annual testing, grease interceptors for food service, and accessibility requirements on fixtures. A failure also stops business, so repairs are planned around operating hours rather than whenever is convenient.
Can plumbing work be done without closing my business?
Most of it, yes, with planning. Isolating a section rather than shutting the whole building, staging work overnight or before opening, and sequencing restroom groups so some stay in service are all normal. What determines it is where the shutoffs are and how the building is zoned, which is worth walking before the work rather than discovering during it.
How often does a backflow preventer need to be tested?
Backflow prevention assemblies on commercial services generally require annual testing by a certified tester, with results reported to the water purveyor. The exact requirement is set by the local jurisdiction and water provider. A failed or untested assembly can put a service at risk of shutoff, so most businesses keep it on a standing annual schedule.
Where does in-house plumbing maintenance stop in a commercial building?
Clearing a slow lavatory drain, replacing a flush valve diaphragm and resetting a tripped water heater breaker are reasonable in-house tasks. It stops at anything touching the backflow assembly, the grease interceptor, gas piping, the main line or work that requires a permit and inspection. Those carry certification and reporting requirements, and an unpermitted commercial repair can fail inspection or put the water service at risk.
When is repairing commercial plumbing just buying time?
When the failure is the pipe itself rather than a fitting. Repeated pinhole leaks in the same run, recurring drain backups that return weeks after cleaning, or a commercial water heater failing in a second season all point to a system at the end of its service life. Those repairs restore operation for now; a camera inspection or a condition assessment tells you how long now is.
