Commercial plumbing issues can strike at any moment, and to the untrained eye, they can seem to be completely unpredictable. However, there are a few signs that can help you determine when you may have a problem on your hands that could snowball into a full-blown plumbing disaster. If you notice any signs of potential problems, it\u2019s important to address them before they get worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few symptoms of potentially serious underlying issue within your commercial plumbing in Memphis, TN<\/a>. Take note of these warning signs so you know when to reach out for expert assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Weakened Water Pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you notice that the water isn\u2019t quite flowing with the same\ngusto that it once was, it could end up being more than just a minor\ninconvenience. Low pressure is often one of the first signs you\u2019ll see of a\nserious problem in the building\u2019s main water line. Low pressure could be caused\nby a partial block in the pipes, or possible even a large leak somewhere in\nyour pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Drainage Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you notice that water is beginning to drain much more slowly than it used to, you could be looking at a blockage in the sewer line. If it is a single drain that is impacted, then it\u2019s likely an issue in a single drain pipe. However, if you notice multiple drains in the facility that are having the issue, then you could be looking at a more serious blockage further down the line. A blocked sewer line is a serious issue and can result in violations of safety codes in commercial buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Water Discoloration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you notice that water is flowing from taps with a brown or reddish tint then you could be looking at rust and corrosion inside your metal pipes. This is a potential health hazard and any discoloration in your water should be addressed immediately, as it may require to the replacement of decaying pipes if it goes on for too long<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Increasing Water Bills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a subtle sign that you may not have considered before, but a rise in your water bills could mean there is a plumbing issue. If you\u2019re not using any more water than usual in your commercial space, but you\u2019ve noticed a steep increase in your bill, then there\u2019s a good chance that there\u2019s a leak somewhere in your water system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Fluctuating Water Temperature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve noticed that your water temperature has started fluctuating between lukewarm and scalding hot, your first assumption may be that the water heating system is failing. This is a good assumption, but it is not the only possibility. You could also have a failure in the pressure balancing valve, which regulates the balance of hot and cold water flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
