You don’t notice when commercial plumbing is all in good order, but it is amazing how fast everyone takes notice when there is a problem with it. It can be the difference between “business as usual” and a temporary closure.
If your business is in an office block, a factory or other industrial setting or even a restaurant, you will most likely be using quite a lot of water. This needs quality piping, reliable drainage and commercial-grade fixtures, or a plumbing problem could arise. Even retail stores require appropriate water availability, drainage, restroom access or sewage disposal. To ensure there is no disruption to your business, monitoring your general plumbing services regularly is necessary.
A commercial plumbing system is more than just sinks, faucets, water heaters, and piping. The majority of it is hidden out of sight within walls, floors, or underground. During general services and maintenance, the plumbing expert will check these hard-to-access areas, which may involve a specialist camera.
What are the general commercial plumbing services?
These checks are part of a plumbing inspection that would be conducted at your premises:
Check for leaks—The plumber will check all faucets and exposed pipes and for leaks where walls or foundations are penetrated.
Corrosion check – An inspection will be done for signs of corrosion around or in pipes and pipe fittings. Corrosion should be addressed immediately to halt its progress and to prevent serious leaks or bursts.
Fixtures stability – All faucets, basins, toilets and other plumbing fixtures will be inspected for a stable attachment.
Water pressure test – The water pressure into and out of your plumbing system will be checked. Low pressure is often an indicator of a leak in the system or sediment buildup.
Drain functions – Draining timing will be checked and the smoothness of the flow. Any bubbles or gurgling sounds during drainage may be a sign of something amiss in the pipes.
Toilets and flushing mechanisms check – There will be an inspection of each toilet, its flushing performance and a visual inspection of all its internal components, as they can wear out or corrode. Many toilets are the source of an undetected water leak in your facility, which can cost you thousands in wasted water bills.
Visible damage – A general but detailed inspection will be done on all plumbing pipes, fixtures, tiling, caulking and other related elements to make sure nothing is damaged. Cracked tiles, broken seals and corrosion are all factors that could contribute to leaks and other plumbing problems.
