What Services Are Included with Commercial Plumbing

Sewer Cleaning and Sewer Camera Inspections

Commercial sewer and drain systems can collect grease, waste, sludge, debris, and other materials over time. As buildup increases, businesses may begin noticing slow drains, recurring clogs, unpleasant odors, or other drainage problems. We provide sewer cleaning using methods such as high-pressure water jetting, which uses a powerful stream of water to break apart buildup and clear material from the sewer line. Traditional drain-cleaning methods may also be used to address specific blockages in kitchen, bathroom, and other drains. 

When the source or location of a sewer problem is not immediately apparent, a sewer camera inspection can provide a closer look inside the pipe. A camera attached to a flexible line is guided through the sewer system, allowing the plumbing contractor to view conditions inside the pipe and identify clogs, buildup, damage, and other potential concerns. The information gathered during the inspection can then help determine whether the system needs cleaning, repair, or another type of plumbing service. 

For a commercial property, identifying the cause of a drainage problem is particularly useful because it can help avoid unnecessary disruption to areas that are not affected. Sewer cleaning and camera inspections can also be useful when a business experiences recurring backups or slow drainage and needs to determine why the problem keeps returning. 

Backflow Device Testing for Commercial Properties

A backflow prevention device is designed to stop water from flowing in the wrong direction and potentially allowing contaminated water to enter the clean water supply. Because commercial properties can have more complex plumbing systems and different connections to equipment or fixtures, keeping these devices operating properly is an important part of protecting the building's water supply. 

Our company provides backflow device testing as well as backflow device installation for commercial properties. Regular testing helps determine whether the device is operating as intended and whether repairs are needed. For business owners and property managers, staying current with backflow testing can also help address applicable water-system requirements while reducing the risk of problems with the property's water supply. 

If an existing device does not function correctly during testing, the next step may involve repairs or replacement depending on its condition. New commercial properties or plumbing modifications may also require the installation of an appropriate backflow prevention device. 

Commercial Water Heater Installation

Reliable hot water can be important for many types of commercial properties. Restaurants may need it for food preparation and dishwashing, while offices, retail properties, industrial facilities, and other businesses may depend on hot water for sinks, cleaning, restrooms, and everyday operations. When a water heater becomes unreliable or can no longer meet a building's needs, installing a new unit may provide a more dependable solution. 

At WTS Plumbing, we install and repair several types of water heaters, including tankless systems, and can replace older units with newer models. Choosing a commercial water heater involves considering factors such as the amount of hot water the property uses, when demand is highest, the available space, and the existing plumbing system. 

Businesses should also pay attention to signs that an existing water heater may need service. Inconsistent water temperatures, a lack of hot water, leaks, unusual noises, or an aging unit can all be reasons to have the system evaluated. Addressing water heater problems promptly can help prevent an unexpected loss of hot water from interfering with normal business activities. 

Keep Your Commercial Plumbing System Running Properly

Commercial plumbing includes much more than responding to a leaking pipe or clogged drain. Sewer cleaning, sewer camera inspections, backflow device testing, water heater installation, drain cleaning, water and sewer line work, and other services all play a role in maintaining the plumbing systems that businesses rely on every day. Having plumbing problems inspected and addressed as they develop can help prevent a smaller issue from creating a larger disruption to your property.
