Foul Odors
One of the easiest plumbing problems to notice is a foul or sewage odor. This can not only be a terrible nuisance but can also be extremely unhealthy to anyone exposed. Generally, a foul or sewage odor is indicative of serious issue which requires a trained commercial plumbing service to properly repair.
Running Toilets and Silent Toilet Leaks
The toilet in any home or business is the last appliance that you want to be leaking. However, what makes this issue sometimes difficult is a silent toilet leak. These leaks are generally caused by a failure of the toilet flapper’s watertight seal.
A defective toilet flapper can cause the toilet to keep the water in a toilet running and is noticed when excess water is leaking into the toilet bowl. A running toilet can cause high water bills which is another sign you need a commercial plumbing service to resolve the issue.
Clogged Drains
Clogged drains are a common plumbing issue that can arise and cause sinks to back-up and other problems. Bathrooms located in business are extremely vulnerable to clogged drains which can cause your business to be seen as unclean by customers.
A professional plumbing technician has the equipment and understanding to detect the clog and properly remove the obstruction. Doing it yourself can cause further damage to the sink or toilet and cost you more money,
Leaking Pipes
One of the most common causes of high water bills besides a running toilet is a leaking pipe. Leaks are potentially dangerous and can slowly damage the infrastructure of a building while also causing dangerous mold.
A leaking pipe is sometimes difficult to detect without the proper equipment to do so. If you suspect there is a leaking pipe in your business, you should contact a commercial plumbing service quickly.
Plumbing technicians use equipment to detect the location of the leaking pipe and work to properly fix it. It is important to never neglect a leaking pipe. The longer you wait the more expensive the cost will be.
