Commercial plumbing systems are designed to handle more wear and tear than their residential counterparts. Commercial systems are designed to last but need constant maintenance. Eventually though, even the most robust system needs to be repaired or replaced. Hiring a quality commercial plumber can help you determine the actual cause of problems and the solutions to fixing them. Don’t wait until problems become more serious before addressing them. Here are some considerations when evaluating your commercial plumbing system.
Maintenance
With staff and the public using the building’s restrooms, they need constant maintenance to avoid costly repairs later. The more people using the facilities, the more stress exerted on the plumbing system. Regularly checking to make sure faucets have been turned off, fountains aren’t left on and toilets aren’t clogged can help keep the system running smoothly. Regularly cleaning bathrooms can keep them looking their best to accommodate employees and the public. Regular maintenance can help you spot items that need repair sooner.
Repair
Over time, even the best maintained commercial system needs to be repaired. Leaks and drips can cost money over time with wasted water. If left untreated, they can continue to cause damage resulting in a more expensive and time-consuming repair. Replacing leaking faucets or repairing running toilets are simple fixes that can help prevent further damage. Stains on the walls could indicate a leaking pipe that needs repair. After replacing the piping, it may be a good idea to repaint the wall to improve the look of the restroom. When pipes decay, they can cause the water to look yellow or brown. Replacing decaying pipes should be handled sooner rather than later to avoid further damage.
Look
Any plumbing overhaul or major repair should account for the look of the business. That doesn’t only mean the actual appearance. Since commercial bathrooms are often open to the public, minimizing the length of time under construction is imperative. It may be helpful to have repairs and renovations done outside of business hours to minimize dust, debris and noise from impacting the business. If renovating, make sure the new design is compliant with the American Disabilities Act and the amount of use expected.
