Healthcare
Clinics, hospitals, dental offices, or nursing homes will require specialized equipment to treat patients and keep them healthy. Tackling medical plumbing on your own will not yield long-lasting results, so it is best to hire a local plumbing team. Plumbers will work closely with city officials, contractors, or medical advisors to make sure that building codes are met. S&B Plumbing wants community members to receive proper plumbing and proper health care. We make healthcare plumbing a priority in our business and communicate clearly with our customers so you can provide life-saving care to those who need it most.
The Importance Of Healthcare Plumbing
When it comes to safety, there are special considerations for plumbing in healthcare. One major consideration is infection control, which prevents contamination or buildup that can lead to bacteria. Backflow prevention can be implemented in healthcare settings to prevent dangerous contamination. This is why hand-washing and filtration are crucial for medical care centers.
Filtration and purification are also important for healthcare settings. These systems help to control the minerals in the local water and make them usable for different procedures or medical machines. Preventing bacterial growth is also a goal of filtration systems. Preventing warm or stagnant water will help improve the water quality inside your dental or medical facility.
Plumbing Services Needed In Healthcare Settings
While the system setup is obviously crucial, healthcare settings will continue to need the help of professional plumbers. Just like every other modern building, there will be clogs or problems to face in the future. S&B Plumbing offers a variety of professional services to help give you peace of mind while working in or operating a medical space.

How Is Waste Handled In Medical Buildings?
Medical plumbing will have separate drainage systems for different types of waste. For example, general waste, infectious waste, and chemical waste will all go through a separate drainage system to avoid contaminating any water source. Some areas of a medical facility may also require neutralization or for the waste to be contained before it is discharged from the building. This protects the surrounding community and environment from contamination or hazards as well.
Do Dental And Outpatient Clinics Follow The Same Plumbing Rules As Hospitals?
Dental offices may not have extensive systems like a hospital, but they will have specific code requirements that residential spaces do not. Sanitation and cross-connection control are important elements for all healthcare facilities to meet patients’ needs and comply with the local health department’s regulations. Dental offices or other healthcare clinics will still need proper waste disposal, high water usage, and special sanitation stations for doctors and hygienists.
What Is Medical Gas Plumbing, And Is It Part Of Standard Plumbing Work?
Medical facilities will need life-supporting gases for surgeries or those who are struggling to breathe. Oxygen, nitrous oxide, and other gases will be provided through a medical plumbing system that is installed by professionals under strict guidelines. Medical gas plumbing will be governed by local authorities and certified medical professionals to ensure that the gases can be transmitted to the correct areas of a healthcare facility. Standard plumbing does not require these installations because small businesses and homeowners don’t need them.
