Preventative Maintenance Tips for Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing is one of the most overlooked aspects of running a business – but it’s one of the most important. After all, if something goes wrong with a pipe or a fixture, it could bring your operations to a sudden – and expensive – halt. Here are a few things you can do to keep this type of problem from happening.
Check Your Commercial Plumbing Drains
If the drains in your facility have become clogged over time, it won’t be long until you will have a serious issue on your hands. A sink – or even worse, a toilet – could back up and send people running from your office or your retail location. And if the problem is bad enough, it’s very likely they won’t be back. Mix a little vinegar and hot water together and pour it down the drain if you have a minor clog. If you have a major obstruction, get in touch with a plumber as soon as you can.
Look for Leaks
Any sort of leak in a commercial plumbing system can become a serious issue if not quickly addressed. Please don’t ignore a problem such as a dripping tap because it will only get worse. Even something seemingly minor as a drip can, over time, waste a lot of water and a significant amount of money. Make sure you check under any dripping fixtures to see whether or not you have any water damage.
Pay Attention to Water Pressure
If you run a hotel and you have water pressure problems, you’re also going to have some irritated guests because they won’t be able to take a relaxing shower. Check the pressure often by using a pressure gauge, and call a professional if there’s an issue.
