AUCKLAND PLUMBER – COMMERCIAL PLUMBING, COMMERCIAL PLUMBING MAINTENANCE
Most people understand how important plumbing is in their home, but don’t often think about how important regular plumbing maintenance is at work. In some ways, it’s quite similar.
In a comamercial setting, you and your staff rely on a range of plumbing and services. To run a business (and to comply with health and safety regulations), you need water coming in and water draining out.
Plumbing maintenance at a workplace is essential for a number of very important reasons.
Plumbing maintenance keeps your business running and prevents shutdowns
For starters, staff need access to clean water and up-to-date plumbing services. If they can’t drink, wash their hands, use the toilet, etc then chances are they can’t do their bare minimum requirements.
Common plumbing issues at work include:
- clogged drains
- blocked toilets
- leaky faucets
- burst pipes
- faulty hot water heating
- water damage to equipment or premises
- unseen damaged pipes or pipe leaks
- faulty waste disposal units
- plumbing issues in your commercial plant room
These are just some of the issues that you may encounter at work. Offices, factories, plants, restaurants and hospitality venues all have different plumbing needs. But they all suffer when there are plumbing issues.
Checking and maintaining commercial plumbing systems helps to keep your business operating with little or no interruptions to workflow.
Commercial plumbing maintenance can help reduce your energy costs
Having a regular plumbing maintenance schedule for your business can help you save money on your power bills. Heating systems, hot water heating systems and equipment that isn’t regularly serviced and maintained often chugs along, working less efficiently than “healthier” appliances.
As an example, think about your residential heat pump. When you have it serviced, check its parts, clean its filters, etc, it runs efficiently. When you don’t service it, it could be working with faulty parts or filters that need replacing. It’s working extra hard to do its job. We also make the comparison to your car. If the tyre pressure is too low and the oil hasn’t been changed, the engine works harder than it needs to. The same holds true for all of your plumbing systems and appliances in a commercial setting.
Regular plumbing maintenance helps fulfil your health and safety obligations
The Health and Safety Act in New Zealand stipulates that all workers need to be provided with a safe and healthy environment to work. This includes access to proper plumbing. It is your duty, if you own or manage a business, to ensure that the plumbing standards meet requirements.
Regular commercial plumbing maintenance helps save money on replacement parts
Having regular checks and inspections of your pipes, plumbing and drainage systems means we can detect any potential issues before they become problems. This, in the long run, saves money on replacing parts or components of your equipment.
Wear and tear is usually gentler on equipment that has been regularly serviced and maintained – so it last longer.
Regular plumbing maintenance keeps commercial plant rooms safe
Commercial plant rooms – also known as boiler rooms or mechanical rooms – are the engine rooms of your business. They are, however, often the site of complex plumbing and heating systems.
Regularly checking and maintaining the plumbing, heating and ventilation systems in your commercial plant room helps prevent accidents, breakdowns, or equipment failure.
