Medical Campuses | Commercial Plumbing | Plumbing | Jamestown
From the operating rooms of WCA Hospital to the research wings at UPMC Chautauqua, Jamestown’s medical facilities depend on absolutely flawless water and gas lines—there’s no margin for error when patient health is on the line. HEP’s licensed technicians design, install, and maintain steri-safe systems that meet stringent healthcare codes, prevent biofilm buildup, and keep critical equipment like autoclaves and dialysis stations running 24/7. Because hospitals never sleep, neither do we; our rapid-response teams are on call day and night, arriving with stocked trucks and infection-control protocols ready to deploy.
What sets us apart in commercial plumbing is a deep familiarity with the unique pressures of a medical campus. We coordinate with facility managers, infection-prevention officers, and construction crews to minimize downtime, use copper-silver ionization and backflow protection to safeguard water quality, and provide detailed compliance documentation for Joint Commission inspections. From constructing new wings to retrofitting decades-old pipe chases, HEP delivers precision, reliability, and peace of mind—so caregivers can focus on saving lives, not chasing leaks.
FAQs
What commercial plumbing services do you provide specifically for medical campuses in Jamestown?
We offer a complete range of plumbing solutions tailored to healthcare facilities, including installation and maintenance of medical-grade water supply lines, backflow prevention devices, hands-free fixtures, acid-resistant drainage systems for laboratories, emergency eyewash and shower stations, purification systems for dialysis or sterilization units, and 24/7 rapid-response leak detection and repairs. All work complies with New York State Department of Health regulations and the latest IPC/UPC codes.
How do you ensure compliance with healthcare regulations and infection-control standards?
Our technicians are trained in CDC, ASHRAE, and Joint Commission guidelines governing potable water quality, Legionella prevention, and cross-contamination control. We use medical-grade piping materials (e.g., Type K copper, PEX-A) and install backflow assemblies certified under ASSE standards. Pre-construction submittals, on-site mock-ups, and final inspections are documented to satisfy facility risk-management teams and state inspectors. We also provide water-sampling reports and flushing logs to help you maintain ongoing compliance.
Can you perform plumbing work without disrupting patient care or critical services?
Yes. We coordinate closely with facility managers to schedule work during low-impact hours, isolate zones to maintain water service in patient areas, and employ negative-air containment and HEPA filtration when accessing ceiling or wall cavities. Our crews use quiet, low-vibration tools and follow strict infection-control risk assessment (ICRA) protocols, including disposable barriers, tacky mats, and daily surface disinfection, to minimize noise, dust, and downtime.
Do you provide emergency plumbing support for Jamestown medical facilities?
Absolutely. Our dedicated healthcare service team is on call 24/7 with a guaranteed 60-minute arrival window anywhere in Jamestown. Fully stocked service vans carry medical-grade fittings, isolation valves, and sterilizable tools so most critical repairs—such as burst domestic water lines, clog-related overflows, or malfunctioning vacuum pumps—can be resolved on the first visit. We also maintain temporary water-heating and filtration units to keep essential services online during major repairs.
How do you address water-quality issues like Legionella in large hospital water systems?
We start with a comprehensive risk assessment, mapping hot and cold water loops and identifying stagnation points. Solutions may include installing secondary disinfection systems (copper-silver ionization, monochloramine, or UV), balancing hot-water recirculation with thermostatic mixing valves, and replacing dead-leg piping. After implementation, we conduct validation sampling and provide ongoing data logging so facilities can demonstrate compliance with ASHRAE 188 and CMS S&C requirements.
What makes your company the right choice for medical campus plumbing projects in Jamestown?
