When you are a facility manager or owner, a big part of maintaining your plumbing system is knowing when you should seek professional help. Preventive plumbing maintenance can help you in the long run and save you money by dealing with the damages before they become severe. Regular inspections and seeking professional help when it’s needed is important if you want to have a maintained plumbing system in your facility. If you repair things on time you won’t have to deal with severe damage repairs or even replacements which can be very expensive. We highly recommend for you to be on the lookout for some problems if they happen.

Try to inspect the things listed below and if you see any of the mentioned problems, consult with a professional and get them fixed immediately. Don’t wait for time to pass because it will lead to more severe damages, the problems might spread more than you think.

Loss of Water Pressure

Whether it’s local or universal, loss of water pressure is a definite sign of plumbing system damages. This typically indicates that there is a leak or blockage forming in one (or more) of the pipes. If you notice a sudden drop in water pressure, this means that a pipe rupture or other serious problems are in place. You can monitor which sections of the building have this problem. However, if the problem is noticeable in the entire building, you should have your water line checked.

High Water Bills

It’s natural for commercial buildings to use a lot of water. However, if you notice that your monthly bills are getting higher you should hire a professional to see if there is a problem. If your water bills are constantly getting higher and higher, this could be a sign that water is exiting out of the system. This problem is almost impossible to indicate visually, but if you notice that your bills are getting very high it could be a sign that you should take into consideration. In most cases, this means that there is probably a leak somewhere in the pipes, which will cost a lot in the long run.

Water Damage

Sadly, the first sign that indicates that there is a pipe leak is when you visually see mold forming on the walls or on the ceiling. This is a definite sign that you are dealing with a pipe leak. If you notice any form of mold forming anywhere in the building, please seek professional help and act on the matter as soon as possible. If the issue isn’t repaired immediately it can lead to dangerous consequences and very expensive repairs. Not only will you have to pay for the pipe repairs, but you will also have to repair the walls and ceilings.
