There are some considerations that make it quite different. For example, commercial properties must be kept to your local codes. If you have plumbing problems that interfere with that, you can end up with a mounting list of legal problems like code violations, permitting problems, and even lawsuits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d like to help you understand what can be done to decrease the likelihood of common plumbing problems and to ensure that they\u2019re repaired and up to code as promptly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clogged Drains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a problem that simply will occur on occasion in a commercial property. Unlike at your home, the sheer number of people using the plumbing fixtures in a commercial property means that clogs are inevitable. Don\u2019t be tempted to pour drain-cleaning liquids down the drains. These can cause more problems than they solve, and they are extremely caustic, so they also create health risks. If a clog can\u2019t be resolved with a plunger or hand-cranked drain snake, it\u2019s time to rely on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeksac.com\/blog\/plumbing-service\/importance-professional-drain-cleaning\/\">professional plumbing repair service<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Signage reminding people of what is and is not safe to put down toilets or drains may help somewhat. But the most effective way to avoid frequent clogs is to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeksac.com\/blog\/plumbing-service\/tips-preventing-drain-clogs\/\">preventive drain cleaning<\/a> done on a regular basis. We use hydro-jetting to clear drains with pressurized water, so no caustic chemicals are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With large and complex plumbing systems, there are so many places where a leak could occur. Leaks can cause major water damage and huge increases to your water bills\u2014and your fuel bills, if the leak occurs in a hot water pipe. Because of this, they must be repaired immediately when they are discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use state-of-the-art <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeksac.com\/blog\/plumbing-service\/how-to-detect-plumbing-leaks\/\">leak detection techniques<\/a> like video pipe inspection to isolate hard-to-find leaks so they can be repaired with the least possible disruption of flow in your commercial building\u2019s daily routine. But you can also decrease the risk of leaks developing by having regular plumbing inspections and maintenance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low Flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Low water pressure can be caused by a wide variety of issues, from an undiagnosed leak to mineral buildup in your pipes. In a residential setting, it may be a bummer to have a trickle when you want a shower, but it has more serious repercussions in commercial buildings. In buildings that house food service facilities, it is critical to have plentiful water flow for cleaning and hand-washing in order to meet food safety standards. If a business handles chemicals of any kind, eye wash stations and showers must be fully functioning with adequate water pressure to prevent serious hazards to employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any issues with low water pressure must be addressed promptly, and can best be avoided with regular maintenance from someone experienced in <a href=\"\/plumbing\/plumber-service\/commercial-plumbing\"
