Plumbing Maintenance Is Necessary
Your commercial plumbing system undergoes constant wear and tear, day in and day out. It is not uncommon for the stress of running a business to draw focus away from the necessary maintenance of the building from where it is run. To keep your business open and functional, here are 3 tips on how best to maintain your commercial plumbing system.
Sweat The Small Stuff
There is a common saying that we often use and it goes ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’. Small problems very rarely stay small for long. They grow, turning a small job into a much larger and more expensive one. What seems like a small water leak at the time may end up costing you thousands in water bills and even more in damages.
Blocked Drains
At first glance, a blocked drain may seem like a small problem but over time will grow, leaving you with a messy overflow situation. Several things can cause a drain to become blocked, some of which are leaves, grease, paper, and leftover food. It is also possible for tree roots to block or even break drains. All of these can cause a problem for your plumbing system, a problem that could be avoided by looking out for signs that you may have a blocked drain.
Flush The Right Stuff
The list of things that should be flushed down a toilet is short and consists of only two items. We understand that monitoring this can become tricky when running a large business so we would recommend you do two things. Educate your staff on the implications of flushing anything other than human waste and toilet paper down a toilet. Posting signs in the bathroom as a reminder may help to avoid any clogged drains.
