As summer temperatures rise, so does water usage—especially in high-traffic commercial buildings like restaurants, gyms, hotels, and retail spaces. With more customers, more employees, and longer hours, it’s no surprise that plumbing systems are put to the test during the summer months. At Dan’s Plumbing, we understand how seasonal demand can stress your system, and we’re here to help you stay ahead of it!
Why Summer Causes a Plumbing Surge
Whether it's guests using the restroom more frequently at a hotel or increased dishwashing at a busy restaurant, summer means more water flowing through every part of your plumbing system. While this uptick is normal, it can quickly turn into a problem if your system isn’t properly maintained.
Common Problems Caused by Water Overuse
1. Leaky Fixtures: Constant use of sinks, toilets, and urinals can wear down seals and connections, leading to leaks. Even small leaks can result in water waste, high utility bills, and potential water damage.
2. Clogged Drains and Toilets: High usage increases the chances of foreign objects or debris clogging your system. This is especially common in public restrooms or kitchen sinks.
3. Low Water Pressure: If your plumbing system can’t keep up with demand, you might notice a drop in water pressure. This can disrupt service and inconvenience staff and guests.
4. Malfunctioning Flushometers: Flushometers, commonly used in commercial toilets and urinals, can wear out or fail under heavy use. This can result in constant running water or complete failure to flush—creating maintenance headaches and a poor customer experience.
5. Overloaded Water Heaters: Restaurants, gyms, and salons that rely on hot water often push their water heaters to the limit during peak summer business. This can lead to inconsistent temperatures or premature failure if the system hasn’t been serviced.
