As expert plumbers, our team at Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air has been around the block. We have seen our fair share of faulty sinks, broken pipes, and toilet conundrums. If you are a business owner, at some point you are going to need a commercial plumber. Our plumbers share the 10 most common plumbing problems businesses face.
- Low water pressure – Faucets that trickle and toilets that barely flush could be the indication of a serious plumbing issue, like build up in your pipes or a water line break.
- Bad odors – If your bathroom smells like sewer after it has been cleaned, call a plumber to check for sewer back up. Sewer smells will make your employees and customers unhappy.
- Unstable water temperature – Your commercial water heater should be regularly serviced. If your water has difficulty remaining a certain temperature, there could be a buildup or a leak in your water heater.
- Silent leaks – If your pipes start leaking without you knowing it, you could be wasting tons of money on water bills. Call a plumber if your utility costs suddenly increase—it could be an indication that the plumbing in your walls is leaking.
- Failed internal parts – Heavy use of commercial plumbing fixtures can cause internal damage at a much higher rate. Repairs should regularly be made to ensure everything continues to run smoothly.
- Broken handles – If a handle is broken, your bathroom goers might not be able to flush anymore. Make sure to regularly check the handles and that everything works as it should.
- Running toilets – A constantly running toilet could cause a huge spike in your water bill. Checking your toilets for phantom flushing or running water could save you tons of money in the long run.
- Clogs – People tend to be less respectful in commercial bathrooms than they are in their homes. Clogs can regularly happen, creating a giant mess in your bathroom. Look out for customers or employees flushing paper towels or hygienic products down the toilets or into drains.
- Leaky faucets – Don’t waste money on running water. Repairing leaky faucets as quickly as possible can help you keep the costs of your water bills down.
