Commercial Plumbing Tips for Spring

By
Spring is here! How did your business' plumbing hold up? All the extreme cold of a Minnesota winter can cause damage as well as a rude awakening once things begin to thaw. Is your business checking some things off its spring to-do list? If hiring a commercial plumbing company is on your list, then you have come to the right place. All Ways Drains is the trusted name in commercial plumbing for the White Bear Lake area and we look forward to helping you get your business’ plumbing back in order. This spring, do everything you can to help protect your business property against problems with your plumbing. Here are a few important tips:

First of all, check for leaks. Check any exposed pipes and then inspect for slow leaks in the plumbing. Take a reading of the water meter before leaving for the day and them again the next morning. If the reading has changed and no one has used the water at your office overnight then you have a leak that needs to be repaired. If you find leaky pipes, check the surrounding area for damage. Water damage can turn into mold, something dangerous for occupants of the building. 


Next, check the building’s water heaters. If not properly maintained, a damaged water tank can cause problems all around the building. It could mean a lack of hot water for occupants or even leaks in your utility room. Hot water heater and tank problems can also include poor water pressure, corrosion, and mould if there are leaks. A commercial plumbing company can give your system a thorough inspection and provide maintenance and repairs as needed.

Also remember to check toilets for any cracks or leaks and ensure they flush properly. If the handle must be held down for a thorough flush or jiggled to stop the water from running you may need to replace some parts. 

It is a good idea to exercise water supply valves under sinks and toilets to prevent them from sticking. If you are unsure how to do this, please contact our commercial plumbing professionals for assistance. If you have fixtures that are old and dated, it may be time for an upgrade. Not only will it take care of any previous problems the fixtures may have allowed but it will also freshen up the look of the building.

Preventing and Addressing Frozen Pipes with an Emergency Plumber

As winter temperatures drop, one of the most frustrating and common plumbing problems homeowners encounter is frozen pipes. Not only can they disrupt your daily routine, but they also pose a serious risk of water damage if not addressed promptly. Having a dependable emergency plumber in North Oaks on call can save you from costly repairs and unnecessary stress. Why Do Pipes Freeze? Pipes freeze when the water inside them is exposed to temperatures at or below freezing (32°F). This is most likely to happen in areas of your home with insufficient insulation, such as basements, crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls. When water freezes, it expands, increasing pressure within the pipe. If the pressure becomes too great, the pipe may crack or burst, leading to potential flooding. Warning Signs of Frozen Pipes Frozen pipes can sometimes go unnoticed until they rupture, but there are several indicators that could signal a problem: Weak or no water flow from faucets. Frost ...
