As summer begins to wind down, many businesses shift focus from peak warm-weather activity to preparing for cooler months ahead. This seasonal transition is the perfect time to ensure your commercial plumbing system is in top shape. At Dan’s Plumbing, we know that preventative maintenance is the best way to avoid unexpected disruptions - especially when seasonal changes can put extra strain on your plumbing.

Why Seasonal Plumbing Maintenance Matters

The shift from hot, dry summer days to cooler, wetter fall conditions can impact your commercial plumbing in several ways:

• Changing water demands: Summer often brings higher water usage in restaurants, gyms, hotels, and other high-traffic businesses. Fall is a chance to address any wear-and-tear caused by heavy use.
• Soil movement: Temperature changes can affect underground pipes, leading to cracks or misalignment.
• Drainage challenges: Falling leaves and debris can block drains and gutters, increasing the risk of backups.

Key Plumbing Areas to Check This Season

1. Water Heaters

If your water heater worked overtime during summer, now’s the time for inspection. Flushing the tank removes sediment buildup and improves efficiency before cooler weather increases hot water demands.

2. Grease Traps

In food-service businesses, grease traps can fill up faster during high summer traffic. Schedule a cleaning now to prevent unpleasant odors and costly blockages later.

3. Backflow Prevention

Fall is a great time to test your backflow prevention devices to ensure they meet compliance standards and protect your water supply.

4. Drain & Sewer Lines

Leaves, dirt, and debris can quickly accumulate in outdoor drains during fall. Water jetting can help keep your lines clear before seasonal rains arrive.

5. Fixtures & Flushometers

Inspect toilets, urinals, and sinks for leaks or reduced flow. Small issues can lead to water waste and higher utility bills if not addressed early.
