Signs Your Commercial Property Needs Professional Plumbing Maintenance

As a business owner in Liverpool, maintaining your commercial property is essential for smooth daily operations. At Boymans Plumbers, we understand that plumbing issues can disrupt your business and potentially lead to costly repairs if left unattended. Here are five warning signs that indicate your commercial property might need professional plumbing maintenance.

1. Unexplained Increase in Water Bills

Have you noticed a sudden spike in your water bills without any corresponding increase in water usage? This could indicate a hidden leak somewhere in your plumbing system. Even minor leaks can waste thousands of litres of water over time, significantly impacting your utility bills and potentially causing structural damage.

Our commercial plumbing team can perform thorough leak detection services using professional-grade equipment to identify and repair leaks before they become major problems.

2. Low Water Pressure

Consistent water pressure is crucial for many commercial operations. If you've noticed a gradual or sudden decrease in water pressure throughout your property, it could signal various issues:

• Pipe corrosion restricting water flow
• Leaks in the water main
• Mineral build-up in pipes
• Problems with water supply valves

Low water pressure not only affects day-to-day operations but can also indicate more serious underlying plumbing issues that require immediate attention.

3. Slow Draining Sinks or Toilets

In a commercial setting, slow drains can quickly escalate from minor inconveniences to major disruptions. Multiple slow-draining fixtures often point to blockages in the main sewer line rather than isolated clogs.

As Water Safe members, our team is qualified to address complex drainage issues, including main sewer line problems, ensuring your business operations continue without interruption.

4. Discoloured Water

Clean, clear water is essential for any business. If your taps are producing water with a brown, yellow, or rusty tint, this typically indicates corrosion in your pipes. Not only does discoloured water look unpleasant, but it can also pose health risks and damage appliances connected to your water system.

Our commercial plumbing services include complete pipe inspection and replacement when necessary, using high-quality materials that ensure clean water and long-term performance.

5. Visible Water Damage or Mould Growth

Water stains on walls or ceilings, peeling paint, warped flooring, or visible mould are clear indicators of water leakage. In commercial properties, these issues can quickly affect multiple areas and create unhealthy working conditions.

Addressing water damage promptly is essential not only for your property's structural integrity but also for maintaining a safe environment for employees and customers.
