Since 1996, Capps Plumbing & Sewer has established itself as a trusted provider of commercial pump systems, delivering exceptional solutions for a wide range of commercial applications.

Pump Systems questions
What does a commercial pump system do in a plumbing system?
A commercial pump system moves water or wastewater when natural flow or city pressure is not enough. It helps maintain consistent water delivery, removes waste efficiently, and supports proper operation in larger or more complex buildings.
How can I tell if my building needs a pump system?
You may need a pump system if your property has low water pressure, multiple floors, or plumbing fixtures below the main sewer line. Businesses that rely on steady water flow often require pumps to keep operations running smoothly.
What are the main types of commercial pump systems?
Booster pumps increase water pressure, sump pumps remove unwanted water from lower areas, and grinder pumps break down and move wastewater. Each type serves a different purpose, and the right choice depends on how your building uses water.
What problems indicate a pump system is not working properly?
Warning signs include weak or fluctuating water pressure, slow drainage, short cycling, loud or unusual noises, and leaks around the system. These issues can point to worn components or system strain and should be addressed before failure occurs.
How often should a commercial pump system be inspected or serviced?
Most pump systems should be checked once a year, but high-use properties may need more frequent service. Regular inspections help catch wear early, maintain proper performance, and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
