You can never be too careful when it comes to the plumbing that serves your commercial building. Especially the pipes that are the veins and arteries of the plumbing system. Pipes in a commercial plumbing system undergo a great deal more stress than those in a home and can wear down much faster. If your company is in an older building, it’s possible that the pipes are constructed from outdated material such as galvanized steel that will eventually start to corrode. At times, the only solution for such a problem is to contact commercial plumbing specialists and arrange for a full repiping of the building.

Is It Time for Repiping for Your Commercial Building?
Monday, November 30th, 2015Some Reasons Why Your Water Heater Has Stopped Working
Monday, November 16th, 2015Some of the more common emergency calls that we deal with are when hot water heaters stop supplying hot water to the taps in a home. It’s understandable that people want to have a problem like this repaired as soon as possible: there are just too many basic day-to-day tasks that require hot water.
What Materials Are Best for Repiping My Home?
Tuesday, November 10th, 2015Repiping is one of largest plumbing jobs that a home might need—but also one of the most important. For the plumbing systems of older houses, the pipes may be made of galvanized steel, or even iron. Although these are tough, durable metals, they are both prone to corrosion over time. Galvanized steel was once the workhorse of the plumbing world for decades, but other materials have superseded it. If your home still has steel pipes, you should have them replaced before the inevitable corrosion sets in!
What Water Pollutants Will a Reverse Osmosis System Remove?

What Makes Hydro-Jetting a Great Choice for Drain Cleaning?
Monday, October 5th, 2015There are a number of options available for cleaning the drains in a house—whether it’s to remove an obstinate clog or as part of regular plumbing maintenance—and they aren’t all equal. In fact, a few of them are actually harmful for drains, such as using store-bought bottles of chemicals that are advertised as “drain cleaners.” These caustic chemicals don’t really clean drains, since they will leave behind heavy clumps of the material that creates blockages and often won’t break through heavy clogs. Worse, they can potentially damage your drainpipes.
How to Landscape Your Property to Protect the Sewer Line
Monday, September 21st, 2015One of the biggest dangers to the sewer line that runs under your property—that vital pipeline responsible for taking the wastewater from your home and into the municipal sewer system—is trees and shrubs. An elm with spreading branches may look lovely on the front yard, but its deep-burrowing roots can end up as a disaster for the sewer line. Plant roots tends to move toward areas of warmth, moisture, and high nutrients, which often leads fast-growing roots right into the sewer pipeline. Root infiltration can lead to a blocked or cracked line and serious problems for a home.
What Is a Tankless Water Heater, Really?
Monday, September 7th, 2015One our specialties at Modern Plumbing Industries, Inc. is installing and servicing gas tankless water heaters. We’ve written before about the advantages of choosing to have a tankless system instead of a standard storage tank unit. But we would like to go a bit more in-depth about what exactly a tankless water heater is.
