At Maccarone Plumbing, our job is to make sure that hospitals across Long Island and Five Boroughs are up to code, from properly fitted sewer lines to newly installed fire sprinkler system.

What are Common Plumbing Problems to Look Out For?

In hospitals, the most common plumbing problems include leaks, lack of ultra-purified water, and clogging due to chemicals or other debris. Hospitals must have ultra-high purity piping to ensure that their patients are not infected during surgery or other procedures. These special pipes must also be designed to withstand corrosion from chemicals that may be dumped over the course of the day.

​

Contaminate steam and sewage leaking into fresh water are also common problems in hospitals. Contact our technicians to remove the chemicals or sewage from the pipes to restore your water supply to healthy standards.

Are You Having Sewer Line Issues?

Sewer line issues are often a concern in hospitals. Leaks, corrosion, and other problems can quickly lead to extensive damage. For example, sewer lines can become clogged with cuttings from an autopsy procedure. A backed up line means that this waste can flow back into the drinking water.

If there are direct cross connections between the fresh water supply and sewage lines, this can create problems as well. This may require sump repair if flooding is an issue.
