Commercial Plumbing

How Often Should You Inspect Commercial Plumbing Infrastructure?

Regular inspection of commercial plumbing infrastructure is essential for the smooth operation of commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems. Conduct inspections at least twice per year. Ideally, inspections should align with seasonal changes—in spring and fall—when system demands typically shift, highlighting potential issues before they become costly problems.

Plumbing systems that support refrigeration and HVAC units are highly interconnected, so a minor leak, pressure change, or block can quickly escalate to system inefficiencies or even failures. In high-use environments, quarterly checks are beneficial to detect early signs of wear and damage to condensate lines, chilled and hot water pipes, and backflow preventers.

Regular plumbing inspections help safeguard the reliability and energy efficiency of these systems. This reduces the likelihood of downtime and preserves your system’s lifespan.

Why Is Your Commercial Furnace’s Drainpipe Blocked?

The drainpipe on your commercial furnace can become blocked because of the gradual buildup of mineral deposits, algae, or debris within the line. As these substances collect over time, they can restrict condensate water flow, eventually leading to a complete blockage. Other factors, like an improper installation, external pipe damage, or a malfunctioning condensate pump, may also cause drainage issues. Your best solution is to call in our qualified HVAC technicians.

We’ll assess the problem, clear the blockage, and restore proper drainage. This may involve flushing your furnace’s drain line, repairing or replacing damaged parts, or adding a condensate pump as required.

What’s the First Thing To Check When You Have Commercial Refrigeration Plumbing Problems?

When you’re dealing with plumbing issues in your commercial refrigeration system, the first thing to check is the drain line. It’s responsible for removing excess condensation, so if it’s blocked or leaking, you might notice water pooling around your unit, rising humidity, or frost buildup inside.

Take a quick look for any clogs, leaks, or debris in the drain line, and make sure it’s connected securely. If your unit has a condensate pump, that’s another potential trouble spot—when it’s not working right, it can cause drainage problems.

Which Plumbing Problems Affect Commercial Boilers?

Commercial boilers have a lot going on, with at least seven different pipes connecting various parts of the system. Over time, plumbing issues can crop up, especially when regular maintenance is skipped.

Leaks are a big one. Just a small drip can reduce boiler pressure and make the system work harder or even shut down. Blockages in the pipes that bring or remove water can also impact performance, causing your boiler to overheat or run less efficiently. Then, there are pressure issues, often from worn-out parts or valves, which can throw off your whole boiler system’s temperature control.

Corrosion is another problem that mainly affects older pipes. It can weaken your setup and increase the risk of leaks and breakdowns. Watch for these potential problems and schedule repair services as soon as possible whenever an issue arises.

What’s the Process for Commercial Backflow Repairs?

Backflow in a commercial setting happens when water in the plumbing system reverses direction, often because of a sudden change in pressure. This pressure change allows contaminants to flow into your clean water supply. In an HVAC system, this backflow can carry chemicals, debris, or bacteria into the water that feeds heating and cooling processes, leading to poor air quality and potential system damage.

As a building or business owner, it’s your responsibility to have a backflow prevention system in place to protect your property and the community’s water supply. Our technicians specialize in handling backflow issues by inspecting your system, installing backflow preventers, and conducting routine testing to ensure everything is safe and up to code.

If a backflow problem arises, we’ll pinpoint the source, rebalance pressures, and replace any affected components to keep your water—and your HVAC system—running clean and reliably.
