If a business owner begins to notice there is a decrease in water pressure in their building, then this indicates a potentially serious problem with the Commercial Plumbing in Pittsburgh PA. Lower than normal water pressure may indicate a blockage in the system’s supply lines. While gradual reductions in pressure need to be addressed, these are usually not urgent. However, if there is a sudden loss in water pressure, there may be a broken pipe or complete blockage -; these are issues that are going to require immediate attention. Be sure to call a plumber right away.
Water Discoloration
Discolored water isn’t always going to be a cause for worry. However, if a commercial property goes from having clear water to discolored water with no explanation, then it is a good idea to call the professionals right away. Brown or dark colored water can result from corrosion in the pipe, depositing rust in the business’s water as it moves through the system. If this goes on untreated, the rust can cause a clog in the pipes and build up pressure in the system. In some cases, this can result in the pipes bursting eventually.
Bad Smells
Odors that come from commercial building plumbing fixtures may indicate some type of blockage in the sewer vent stack. These foul gasses will begin to build up as time passes and could result in dangerous sewer leaks that may affect the entire commercial property.
When it comes to the plumbing system of a commercial building, there are more than a few factors that need to be considered. More information about plumbing problems can be found by contacting the professionals at Matt Mertz Plumbing. Being informed is the best way to ensure that a plumbing system is operating properly.
