COMMERCIAL
Commercial plumbing and medical gas piping in Yakima and Kittitas Counties
Restaurants, offices, healthcare facilities and builders get a family crew that has been piping Yakima buildings since 1909.
Chapter 01
A restaurant, an office or a plant: the plumbing has to keep running
Central Mechanical puts it this way on its own pages: whether you run a restaurant, office building or manufacturing facility, commercial plumbing services should keep your business operations running smoothly. They describe themselves as a partner committed to prompt, reliable solutions that stand up to the rigorous demands of commercial use. Commercial plumbing is not residential plumbing made bigger, and the Ash family has been working on both in Yakima since 1909.
A shop with a customer in the chair or a kitchen in the middle of service cannot wait a week for a drain to clear. That is why the emergency line is part of the commercial offer. Call (509) 248-5944 at any hour, because the 24/7 line is the same number as the office. They also write about preventive maintenance, the kind of scheduled attention that keeps a small problem from becoming a closed door.
Outdoor utility counts too. Their commercial installation list starts with something as plain as hose bibs and yard hydrants, because a building is more than its restrooms and a water heater.

Medical gas piping and the mechanical piping behind a building
Central installs specialized systems, and medical gas piping for healthcare facilities is the one they name first. Steven Ash, Kris Ash's son, began his plumbing apprenticeship in 2002 and has since earned multiple certifications, including journeyman plumber and medical gas.
Healthcare plumbing is a different job from a house, and their own message on the subject is that it requires specialized expertise. Alongside medical gas they install and service air, gas and mechanical piping, plus boilers and hydronic heating for larger buildings. If your facility has a boiler room, read about their work on boilers and steam heating, since the same crew handles both.
Their technicians are certified and train continuously to stay current on plumbing techniques and technologies. Work is backed by a one year labor and product warranty.
Chapter 03
Builders call early, and long customers stay
Their pitch to builders is short: experience that helps jobs stay on schedule. New construction starts with plumbing, and the time to call is before the walls go up, or before demolition starts. Do not start swinging a hammer without a plumber in your corner. Pipe runs are cheap to change while the framing is open and expensive once drywall is hung.
One customer, quoted below, says Steven and the crew have been helping with projects at a stadium in town for more than a decade. A contractor who is still invited back that many years later has done something right on the first visit.

Who we work for
Three kinds of commercial customer
Restaurants and food service
Their message to owners is to stay ahead of costly downtime. They list three things:
- Grease traps, drains & water heaters
- Commercial piping & mechanical services
- Fast emergency response & preventive maintenance
Healthcare
Medical gas piping for healthcare facilities, installed with Steven Ash’s medical gas certification behind it. Healthcare plumbing requires specialized expertise, and they say so plainly.
Builders
“Experience that helps jobs stay on schedule.” And their advice to anyone building: “Before the walls go up, call us.”
