3 Most Common Commercial Plumbing Problems

by U.S. Facility Solutions Office Facility Management Company

Allowing commercial plumbing issues to hinder your business operations is a bad idea. The good news is that if you know what to look for and what to expect, you can help prevent some of the most common commercial plumbing issues. In this blog, we will look at the three most common commercial plumbing problems you may encounter:

Toilet Clogs: If you provide your customers with access to public restrooms, this will certainly be an issue. Alas, not every customer treats public restrooms the way they should be treated. Therefore, while public restrooms are built to withstand higher traffic than residential restrooms, toilet clogs can still be problematic. Make sure your in-house maintenance crew cleans your public restrooms regularly to avoid serious toilet clogs. A tiny clog can be easily fixed with a plunger. However, if it is not addressed on time, it can quickly grow large, and you may need to hire a professional commercial plumbing repair expert to snake the drain.

Faucet Leaks: While a faucet leak may seem to be a trivial issue, it can lead to major problems down the road if left unattended. Leaks not only leave standing water that can cause major structural damage to your commercial building, but they can also cost your company thousands of dollars in water bills every year. If you or a member of your in-house maintenance crew notices a small leak that you cannot fix, calling a professional plumbing service can save you a lot of money in the long run by preventing structural damage and skyrocketing water bills.

Drain Clogs: Drain clogs are a common problem in commercial bathrooms with high foot traffic, and while they may appear to be a minor annoyance, they can lead to pipe blockages. This can result in bathroom flooding and plumbing damage, as well as a major inconvenience for your customers and employees. Regularly inspecting bathrooms for indicators of clogged drains (such as residual trash or paper towels) is one of the easiest ways to keep your drains clear.
