Not all pipework is created equal, especially when it comes to the complex requirements of dental suction systems.
Choosing between ABS and uPVC is a critical engineering decision. While ABS is a common and durable material for general drainage, it can be susceptible to degradation when exposed to certain high-strength suction cleaners over time. In contrast, uPVC often offers superior chemical resistance to the aggressive disinfectants used daily in clinical environments.
Installing the wrong material can lead to structural failure of the pipe walls, resulting in leaks that are often hidden within the practice walls or floors. At SSDPM, we understand the technical specifications required to keep your practice running safely and efficiently. We don't just fix leaks; we specify the right materials to prevent them from occurring in the first place.
We maintain the building around the dentistry.
