A&P Plumbing and Sewer
What's the difference between commercial and residential plumbing?
Commercial plumbing systems are significantly more intricate, robust, and extensive compared to residential systems. They require greater water volumes, accommodate more fixtures and appliances, and must adhere to stricter regulations and health standards.What are the most common commercial plumbing problems?
Frequent issues in commercial plumbing include blocked drains, sewer line backups, grease trap overflows, pipe and fixture leaks, water pressure inconsistencies, and hot water supply disruptions.How often should a commercial property get drain and sewer cleaning?
The recommended frequency for drain and sewer cleaning in commercial properties varies based on the business type and drain usage intensity. Establishments with high volume, such as restaurants with grease traps or facilities with heavily used restrooms, should consider yearly cleanings. Other commercial properties typically benefit from preventive cleaning every 18 to 22 months.What is hydro-jetting, and when is it necessary?
Hydro-jetting is an advanced drain cleaning technique that utilizes high-pressure water to thoroughly clean pipe interiors. It is particularly effective for eliminating persistent blockages caused by grease accumulation, mineral deposits, and tree root intrusions. This method is frequently employed in commercial and industrial properties where heavy grease and debris buildup occurs.Why is regular maintenance important for my business?
Regular commercial plumbing maintenance is essential to prevent costly and disruptive emergencies. Scheduled inspections and cleanings help detect minor issues before they escalate, prevent unexpected business interruptions due to sewer backups or pipe bursts, ensure compliance with health and environmental regulations, and extend the lifespan of your plumbing infrastructure.Can you service specific equipment like grease traps or sump pumps?

In the event of a sewer backup at your business, it is crucial to immediately cease use of all water fixtures, contact a professional plumber without delay, and restrict employee or customer access to affected areas to maintain public health and safety standards.What is included in your service estimate?
