Keeping indoor spaces at a comfortable temperature for the people who use them is obviously important. When it comes to commercial properties, there can be factors beyond comfort that you should consider. For example, if it’s uncomfortably cold for customers at the businesses in your building, they won’t want to spend much time (or money) there.
As the winter begins to wind down, it’s a good time to evaluate how your commercial building’s heating system has been working. It might be better to start planning for a replacement now, so you don’t end up with an emergency situation next winter. Here are some signs that it might be time to consider getting a new heater.
Your heater can’t use words to tell you something is wrong, but it can and does exhibit a variety of sounds when problems occur. If you listen and become familiar with the usual sounds your heater makes, it will be easy to pick up on changes and notice new, problematic noises.
What sounds does a happy heater make? What sounds indicate a problem, and can they give hints about what that problem is? How can you tell when it’s time for repairs? We’ve got answers to all those questions.
Having sufficient hot water, at a hot enough temperature, is absolutely critical in a commercial property. Businesses are required to have hot running water in their bathrooms to ensure that thorough and effective hand-washing is possible. And if your business has anything to do with food, there are strict requirements regarding hot water. In Georgia, every commercial establishment must have water of at least 100°F for hand-washing, and food service establishments must have water at 150°F for dishwashing and at least 165°F for sanitizing. You don’t want to be facing legal repercussions for violating these codes. Is your business’s water heater doing the job well enough? What factors should you consider when deciding if you need to replace it?
For some homes, a fully-operational sump pump is the only way to avoid flooding and all the mess and bother that goes with it. If this description fits your home, you know firsthand how important your sump pump is. You definitely don’t want it to fail during a sudden heavy rainstorm!
But what if you’re not sure that your sump pump is in good condition? Regular maintenance is always a good plan. Your technician can catch any problems early and make sure your pump is ready for the next onslaught of water. If you have specific concerns, you might be wondering whether you need to schedule repair. Here are three big signs that it’s time for a plumber to look at your sump pump.
When something is stopping up a drain in your home, don’t you wish you had x-ray vision and could simply see through the pipes? Wouldn’t it be amazing to see exactly what is causing the clog, and where it is, so that you could target it precisely and make sure you’ve cleared it away completely? Especially when a clog is deeper in your plumbing, so you can’t easily dislodge it with a plunger or a hand-cranked drain snake, wouldn’t it be miraculous to see the inside your pipes?
Well, when you hire high-tech professional plumbers for drain cleaning in Johns Creek, GA, they can do exactly that! Video pipe inspection, a method of inserting a thin flexible line with a tiny camera on the end, is just one of the reasons why having your drains cleaned by a professional rather than an amateur is so important.
Plumbing for commercial properties is not just residential plumbing on a larger scale. 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.
We’d like to help you understand what can be done to decrease the likelihood of common plumbing problems and to ensure that they’re repaired and up to code as promptly as possible.
