Edmonton Commercial Plumbing

Yes, we do. Depending on your industry, commercial drain cleaning services are a common request we handle for many businesses, especially those in the food industry that regularly deal with food waste and grease. Commercial systems should be cleaned once to twice a year to prevent blockages and debris from accumulating in the drain lines.

If you run a restaurant, you're well aware of how much can go down your drains. While you can post a sign in a bathroom stall that says "Don't flush feminine products down the drain," you can't always count on customers to follow those guidelines. Restaurants frequently experience sewer backups due to improper disposal of grease, food scraps, and other materials that patrons may unknowingly drop into sinks or toilets. But by maintaining Edmonton commercial plumbing and performing regular drain cleaning, you can effectively mitigate these challenges.

During your routine inspection for an Edmonton commercial plumbing appointment, you can expect our professional plumber to thoroughly examine all freshwater supply and wastewater drainage lines with a fine-toothed comb.

Yes! We offer commercial water heater repair and replacement services to ensure your business never lacks hot water. Unlike standard residential 40- to 50-gallon hot water tanks, commercial-grade units are larger and designed to operate more efficiently over time. Large commercial buildings will have several units in place that are regularly maintained. There is also an important maintenance checklist that includes:

• Temperature control testing
• Routine flushing
• Tank and pipe insulation
• Leak detection
• Gas line inspection
• Inspect ventilation and combustion
• Water quality testing (hardness and chlorine)
• Anode rod replacement
• Small parts replacement when necessary (i.e., drain valve)

Edmonton has hard water, which can take a significant toll on your water heater. Routine flushing to remove sediment not only prevents problems with your water heater but can also save you money on your monthly water bill. When sediment accumulates in the tank, it reduces the heater's efficiency, causing it to work harder to heat the water. This additional strain can lead to more frequent repairs and a shorter unit lifespan, ultimately costing you more in the long run. By incorporating water heater services into your Edmonton commercial plumbing maintenance, you can ensure reliable water heating and prevent costly repairs.

Edmonton’s property owners often wonder about the differences in complexity between residential and commercial plumbing.

Plumbers at Mr. Rooter are well-versed in both settings, but the question is not whether one is easier; rather, they are different. It’s true that Edmonton commercial plumbing systems can be more complex, and property owners must comply with local building codes to ensure their pipework is compliant and in good condition at all times.

But what can make commercial plumbing in Edmonton difficult for business owners is staying ahead of the curve on plumbing maintenance, which can sometimes put significant stress on owners when they’re already busy with work.

Larger buildings with extensive plumbing requirements typically have more durable pipes and fixtures, but even those require routine maintenance and occasional repairs to remain operational.

Edmonton property owners should know that costs will vary based on the scope of work required. For example, the rate for routine maintenance will differ from that for unexpected repairs, and the cost of a sump pump installation will differ from that of a burst pipe repair.

Edmonton commercial plumbing projects require a plumbing permit for new installations and renovations. Said permits must be obtained before commencing work, and only licensed plumbers may apply. When you work with our Edmonton commercial plumbing team, you can rest assured that the permits will be securely in place to avoid costly fines or insurance issues.

Commercial plumbing systems should be inspected at least once a year, which should include checking for leaks, boilers, and water heater systems to ensure compliance with local codes and requirements, and maintaining system performance. In fact, this isn't just a suggestion; many plumbing companies in the area recommend annual inspections to prevent costly repairs in the long run and to enhance the lifespan of the plumbing infrastructure. As an added tip, we also recommend scheduling inspections before winter to prevent freezing pipes and reduce the risks of repairs during colder months.

The most common Edmonton commercial plumbing problems include slow drains, frequent backups, leaks, low water pressure, and malfunctions in boilers or water heaters. All of these problems require prompt intervention to prevent disruption and extensive/costly damage. The majority of plumbing calls for commercial buildings in Edmonton relate to drain blockages and leaks. Through regular preventive maintenance, our plumbers can catch issues early, minimizing downtime and repair costs.

No, Edmonton commercial plumbing work must be performed by a licensed plumber. Property owners do not have the ability to obtain the necessary permits and carry out the plumbing work on commercial properties. Only licensed plumbers may legally perform and permit commercial plumbing work in Edmonton, according to local regulations.

Yes, older commercial buildings often have legacy piping materials or fixtures that are nearing or have past the end of their useful life, requiring upgrades during renovations or repairs. In fact, plumbing code upgrades are usually required when significant renovations trigger permit reviews on buildings more than 30 years old in Edmonton. We highly recommend scheduling a comprehensive plumbing assessment before planning major renovations in an older building to avoid project delays and code compliance problems.

Standard Edmonton commercial plumbing systems include water supply lines, drainage and ventilation systems, and boilers. All of which are tailored to building size and use. Edmonton commercial buildings must comply with the Alberta Building Code, which mandates robust systems for various commercial applications. Our commercial plumbers specialize in a wide range of Edmonton commercial plumbing systems, ensuring property owners' needs are effectively met.
