At Dan’s Plumbing, we specialize in keeping your business running smoothly with expert plumbing services tailored to commercial needs.
Spring Plumbing Checklist for Commercial Properties
With fluctuating temperatures and increased water usage, spring presents unique challenges for commercial plumbing. Here’s what business owners should focus on:
1. Inspect for Winter Damage
The freezing and thawing cycle of winter can cause cracks or leaks in pipes, especially in exterior or underground plumbing. Schedule a professional inspection to identify any hidden damage before it becomes a major issue.
💧 2. Test and Maintain Backflow Prevention Devices
Backflow prevention systems ensure that contaminated water doesn’t enter your clean water supply. Spring is an ideal time for required backflow testing and maintenance to keep your property in compliance with local regulations.
3. Service Restroom Fixtures
Commercial restrooms experience high traffic, and spring is a great time to check for leaks, running toilets, or malfunctioning flushometers. Ensuring everything is working properly reduces water waste and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
4. Inspect Water Heaters for Efficiency
Your water heater worked hard all winter—now is the time to flush sediment buildup, check for leaks, and ensure it’s operating at peak efficiency. Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your unit and prevents costly downtime.
5. Clean and Inspect Grease Traps
For businesses in the food service industry, grease traps should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages and foul odors. Spring cleaning should include a thorough grease trap inspection to keep your kitchen plumbing running smoothly.
6. Clear Drains and Sewer Lines
Spring showers can overwhelm sewer systems, leading to backups and slow drainage. Hydro jetting is an effective way to clear buildup in pipes and prevent costly blockages before they impact your business operations.
7. Prepare Outdoor Plumbing for Warmer Weather
If your commercial property has outdoor spigots, irrigation systems, or water features, it’s time to turn them back on and check for leaks or damage caused by winter’s freeze.
