A commercial plumbing system goes through constant wear & tear. Many business owners may ignore the necessary maintenance of such a system while running a business, leading to several unpleasant consequences. Here are some tips on maintaining the plumbing system of your commercial building.
Your plumbing system may undergo several tiny problems. These problems grow and become larger and more expensive. Pay attention to the small stuff and act to solve those issues, even if they seem insignificant. Prompt responses to solve such will help you save time and money.
- Blocked Drains
Block drains may sound like not a significant problem at once, though they will grow over time and leave you with a chaotic overflow situation. Many things lead to blocked drains, such as paper, grease, leaves, and leftover food. Even tree roots block or break your commercial drainage. Once you identify the stuff causing the blocked drain, it will be wise to remove such things from your plumbing system.
- Avoid Clogged Drains Through Flush
You cannot flush almost everything in a toilet. The list of flushable items is short and may have two or three things. While monitoring this in a large business can be tricky, you can do two things. Educate your employees on flushing implications of anything else than human waste and toilet paper. You can also post signs in the restrooms for the staff to avoid any clogged drains.
- Identify the Valves’ Location
The best way to prevent further damage in case of an overflowing toilet or a burst water pipe is to stop the water from the primary valve. Identify the location of our plumbing shut-off valves to take prompt and effective action in an emergency.
- Take Preventative Maintenance
Incorporating regular maintenance of your plumbing system is the only way to avoid primary issues from arising. A reputable commercial catering engineer can help you ensure quarterly inspection and maintenance of the system and your building’s safety.
