Commercial and residential plumbing in Downtown Charleston
Downtown Charleston, between Washington Street, Summers Street, Leon Sullivan Way and Kanawha Boulevard, is home to the Downtown Charleston Historic District, with Late Victorian and early 20th-century commercial buildings such as the 1916 Woodrums' Building.
Downtown plumbing is mostly commercial: restaurants, offices, shops and upper-floor apartments in older buildings. That means busy drain lines, grease buildup in kitchen drains, restrooms that see heavy use, and water heaters that have to keep up with more than a single household.
Common Plumbing Issues in Downtown Charleston
- Restaurant drain clogs. Grease and food waste build up in kitchen lines and need regular cleaning.
- Heavy-use restrooms. Busy commercial restrooms wear out flush valves, faucets and toilets faster.
- Upper-floor apartments. Apartments above storefronts often share drain stacks, so one clog can affect several units.
- Water heater capacity. Businesses and multi-unit buildings need water heaters sized for the demand.
