When property maintenance comes to mind, many people forget to consider plumbing since it is behind the scenes. However, a large part of keeping your busy commercial property clean and productive has to do with your drainage system. Some tips for proper plumbing maintenance are found below.
Preventative Measures
There are some techniques to extend the productivity of your commercial drains. By applying preventative measures, you do your part to keeping your drains operating at peak performance levels. That doesn’t mean you won’t have to schedule maintenance, but it does help your drains function properly in between regular checkups. A few steps you might take include:
- Placing screens over the drains to block large objects
- Implementing correct food disposal procedures
- Buying the right chemicals for cleaning
Regular Cleaning
Regular and consistent cleaning is the key to keeping your drains clog- and issue-free. Besides the basic preventative measures, you should also invest in regular cleaning for the drains in your commercial property. Some cleaning methods a professional plumber uses on your drains include the following:
- Degreasing solutions
- Pipe water jetting
- Plumbing snake
- High-pressure cleaning
It is recommended to schedule this type of commercial property cleaning between one and four times a year, depending on your type of property and business. However, contact a plumber if you notice an issue regardless of when your cleaning is scheduled. It’s best to tackle small problems before they become too serious. There may also be other cleaning methods a plumber needs to use, depending on the condition of your drains, so be sure to speak with a professional about your needs.
