Water Issues to Look for Inside Your Commercial Building

11/2/2020 (Permalink)

Water issues, such as clogged pipes and leaky plumbing can affect any commercial building. And worse, you may not even know there’s a problem until it’s too late. With multiple people and larger systems, the risk of escalation is very real, and you need to stay on top of maintenance and inspections to prevent it.

If you are or want to become a commercial property owner, here are a three common water issues you might run into.

1.Clogged Pipes

Designed to move large amounts wastewater through a building, pipes are built strong to resist damage. Unfortunately, soap, hair, oil, and other contents can accumulate over time and overwhelm the pipes. Even tree roots can cause sewer water to block the system if it’s running underground. If you notice diminished water pressure or a toilet backup, there’s a good chance your pipes are clogged.

2.System Leaks

Commercial property plumbing is complex, which inevitably leads to leaking pipes, faucets, and toilets. These systems have vulnerable spots wear down, deteriorate, and cause larger malfunctions and property damage. Leaks are also a sign of larger plumbing problems, which can be fixed by a plumbing technician, if discovered early enough.

3.Plumbing Damage

Along with unaddressed leaks and excessive clogs, high pressure inside the plumbing system during winter can lead to a broken pipe. Other culprits include tree-root growth, poor maintenance and age-related corrosion. 

Schedule proper maintenance and contact professionals if you or your tenants detect leaks and other issues.
