FAQ

Question 1

What types of commercial sinks are there?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to repair a current system or a brand new installation, our technicians are able to provide quick, professional service. There are many different types of commercial sinks available, and it’s important to understand the differences of each style before choosing what is best for your property’s needs. Our most popular options include, but are not limited to, the following:

Compartment sinks: Compartment sinks, also known as “pot and dish sinks” or “sanitizing sinks,” are larger, deeper sinks, usually used to manually clean and sanitize heavy-duty kitchenware.
Hand sinks: Commercial hand sinks are generally used to ensure employees are able to wash their hands in a clean, safe space. Local codes often dictate the details of hand sink requirements, such as location and quantity.
Mop and floor sinks: Mop and floor sinks are installed on the floor for employees to easily rinse mops and dump bucket contents while cleaning. We recommend installing these in the corner if possible.
Bar sinks: Bar sinks, sometimes known as “dump sinks,” provide easy access to water and drainage during food and drink prep. Similar to hand sinks, local codes can sometimes dictate the details of bar sink requirements, such as location and quantity.

Question 2

How long should a commercial sink last?

Accepted Answer

The lifespan of a commercial sink depends on many factors. When installed correctly and maintained properly, a commercial sink can have a lifespan up to 20 years. However, the lifespan can shorten to as little as five years with improper care. Here are a few things you can do to extend the lifespan of your commercial sink:

Correct Installation: Correct installation is one of the simplest ways to get the most out of your commercial sink. Thanks to years of training and experience, our licensed technicians are able to correctly install sinks to avoid issues and leaks later on.
Routine Inspection: It’s important to have your commercial sinks routinely inspected by licensed professionals in order to avoid clogs, leaks, low water pressure, and other common malfunctions.
Correct Use: General wear and tear is to be expected, but following the manufacturer’s guide on how to properly use your commercial sink is a great way to avoid unnecessary damage to the system.
Whether your property’s commercial sink needs to be repaired or replaced, our technicians are able to deliver expert service quickly.

Question 3

How do you unclog a commercial sink?

Accepted Answer

When dealing with a clogged commercial sink, it’s extremely important that a licensed professional handle the issue. Each clog requires its own particular solution, and incorrect or amateur servicing can worsen clogs or damage plumbing systems. This can be frustrating and expensive.

When a clog first develops, it can be tempting to first try to dissolve the blockage with a chemical drain cleaning solution. Unfortunately, these chemicals damage pipes and are bad for the environment, and they often don’t completely dissolve the clog. Instead, call Rocketman Plumbing for an on-site inspection and a fast, effective, and environmentally friendly remedy. One of our experienced technicians will come to assess the situation and resolve it as quickly as possible. Our technicians are very skilled with drain snakes, P-trap pipe clearance, and sewer jetters. If the sink is salvageable, we will fix the clog and repair the system. If not, we can help you choose a new system and install it for you.

Question 4

How long does it take to repair a commercial sink?

Accepted Answer

The length of time it takes to repair a commercial sink varies based on the extent of the issue. Our technicians are very skilled with drain snakes, P-trap pipe clearance, and sewer jetters, and they can resolve most clogs during their first site visit. However, more complex repairs, such as equipment replacement and full installations, might require multiple site visits or ordering a particular part for your commercial sink.
