Get the Plumbing at Your Business Spring-Ready With These Tips
Check Toilets for Leaks
You may have several toilets at your commercial space; if each one were leaking, you would have an expensive issue to handle. Avoid continued leaks by checking each toilet. Test each toilet by dropping food coloring into the toilet tank or cistern, then come back in a half hour or so to look in the bowl for any coloration. If there is a leak, a plumbing professional can usually handle the issue within 24 hours.
Check the Flushing Power of the Toilets
Toilets can also be a source of water loss depending on the number of flushes they need. A double-flush means wasted water and money for you. The first step to helping your toilet flush more efficiently is by thoroughly cleaning it. When the jets are clear, they can clear the bowl with the right amount of pressure. If heavy duty scrubbing doesn’t clear up the problem, plumbing experts will need to take a look at the situation.
Test Your Kitchen Disposal
Keep your office kitchens or kitchenettes in working order by making sure the garbage disposal blades are sharp. Dull blades can lead to more significant chunks of food and debris going down the drain and getting caught in the pipe. Test your disposal by dropping ice into it. If the ice stays in cubes, you have a problem best left to the pros.
Clean out All the Gutters
The winter and early spring storms bring down all sorts of branches and debris onto your commercial roof. All this clutter can end up creating blockages, water damage, and mold growth if left unattended during the warming weather. Clean out the gutters about once per month to clear away any problems before they come up.
Even when you keep up with regular maintenance, leaks, clogs, and other problems can strike at the worst times.
