Like residential properties, plumbing issues aren't unheard of in commercial buildings. They're actually quite common because of the wear and tear that commercial plumbing fixtures and pipes put up with. Let's look at some of the most common commercial plumbing repairs to be on the lookout for.
Toilet Issues
The most common issues that commercial properties have are toilet issues. Toilets aren't complicated plumbing fixtures, but they're used often and undergo a ton of wear and tear.
Leaky Toilet
There are two types of toilet leaks, and we'll address both of them. The first and more serious toilet leak is if you start noticing water leaking out from underneath your toilet. If this happens, it means that the wax ring under the toilet has been compromised, and you need to contact a plumbing professional immediately.
Clogged Toilet
We've all seen and plunged clogged toilets at some point in our lives, and it's never fun. Commercial toilets are especially prone to clogging because of how often they're used and how little they're maintained.
Running Toilet
The second type of leaky toilet is known as a running toilet. A running toilet is when water is constantly leaking into the toilet bowl from the tank, even after the bowl should be full. You'll be able to hear a slight trickle or the sound of running water near your toilet if this is happening. It's most likely being caused by a faulty flapper inside the toilet tank.
Clogged Drain Lines
Clogged drain lines can occur in bathrooms or kitchens of commercial buildings. It's often caused by flushing things down the toilet that you shouldn't or putting things down the kitchen sink drain. Unless your kitchen sink has a garbage disposal, you should avoid putting anything into them. Contact us if you need a drain line cleaned or cleared.
Foul Odors in Your Building
Foul odors are a common and disgusting nuisance in commercial buildings. Foul sewer odors can occur anywhere that there's a plumbing drain because all the drain lines in the sewage system are connected. If you notice foul sewage smells, water draining slowly, or water backing up completely, you likely have a clogged drain somewhere in your sewage system.
