COMMERCIAL PLUMBING SERVICES WE OFFER

Commercial Backflow Testing

Backflow occurs when water starts flowing in the opposite direction. This usually happens when:

  • The water pressure is more powerful than the building’s system, and all this pressure causes the water to reverse its direction. This problem usually occurs in boilers, chemical feed pumps, elevated tanks, and recirculating systems.

  • The pressure in your water distribution system is too low, causing the water to leak.

Every commercial building should have backflow preventers to keep this issue from happening. Our plumbers can repair or replace the unit and make sure your backflow preventer complies with local and state regulations.

Commercial Building Repiping

Sometimes, plumbing systems are so old, damaged, or corroded that the most efficient way to fix the issue is to replace the system altogether. When we repipe the plumbing system, we may need to change the entire layout. Even though the thought of starting from scratch may seem overwhelming, it should be far more effective in the long run. You also reduce the high risk of running into piping problems later.

If your commercial building was built prior to 1970, you may want to consider having our plumbers repipe the system. We can install a new system before your current one breaks down, preventing additional damage.

Commercial Water Heater Repair or Replacement

The life expectancy of a water heater is 8-12 years. Once it is 10 years old, you may want to consider replacing it. If you wait until it breaks down completely, you may end up scrambling to install a new one—after all, you cannot go long without a water heater. Do your research now before your water heater breaks down.

You should always keep up with maintenance, which can ultimately save money on your water bill. It is important to schedule regular maintenance checks after your new water heater is installed, as certain parts can fail over time without you even knowing. What’s more, excess water can cause the metal parts of the heater to rust.

However, there are things you can do to keep your water heater from rusting so quickly. For example, every water heater contains an anode rod, which attracts corrosive material to the tank and slows down any rusting. Generally speaking, you should replace the anode rod every three years. Failure to do so could result in flooding that causes thousands of dollars in damages.

Commercial Leak Detection and Repair

If you run a large commercial building and notice a leak, it can be difficult to detect where the leak is coming from. It can be especially tricky when water is leaking in more than one area, such as the floor, foundation, and walls.

When you hire our plumbers, we can inspect your building, confirm the leak, and find its source. You are more likely to have a leak if:

  • Your water bill has increased

  • You hear running water, even when the faucet is not on

  • There is mold on the floors, walls, and/or ceiling

  • There are impressions of people or objects after leaning against the wall

  • There are cracks in the floors, walls, and/or ceiling

Your building may sustain long-term damage if you do not address the leak soon, so be sure to act quickly. Reach out to Thomas Plumbing Solutions to solve this issue today.

Commercial Slab Leak Repair

It is not uncommon for buildings to be built on unstable soil. This soil can move, causing the foundation of the building to be distributed unevenly and eventually crack. Pipes can also break, causing a leak in the building that gets under the foundation as well.

Some signs of a slab leak include:

  • Mold on the carpet

  • Wet stains on the walls

  • Warm spots on the floor

  • Warped hardwood floors

  • Hearing water run even when it is turned off

  • Fluctuating water pressure (especially low pressure)

  • A sudden increase in your water bill

Do not overlook these signs, no matter how subtle they may seem. If left unattended, your whole building could undergo irreversible damage as the foundation cracks and shifts. Your windows, floors, and walls could also sustain serious damage. If you notice any cracks in the slab of your building, we urge you to contact our team as soon as possible.
