Plumbing Tips for Commercial Properties in Riverside City

2/6/2019 (Permalink)

Gated Boiler for a Riverside commercial building.

Simple Maintenance May be the Responsibility of Tenants

Commercial property owners who rent space to tenants should be aware that in some cases, the tenant is responsible for well-functioning plumbing. What should tenants do?

  • Avoid putting harsh chemicals or solids down drains.
  • Immediately report a toilet that won’t flush, or make a repair.
  • Immediately alert property manager regarding substantial drops in water pressure or leaks.
  • It is important to check the pressure gauge once the boiler is operating to ensure it is functioning per the pressure levels recommended by the manufacturer.  When the pressure is lower than recommended, you can top it up – but do so with caution, as the pressure release valve can easily sustain damage.  When this happens, you will need to call a professional for repair.
  • Sufficient space around your boilers is essential as well, so make certain that the area where the boiler is housed is clutter-free.  Your boiler needs to breathe, so remove coats, shoes, bags, and other items.  If housed in a box, be sure ventilation requirements are met according to manufacturer instructions and that there is an access panel to make your boiler easily accessible for maintenance.
  • Drip faucets when temperatures dip down to freezing levels to prevent frozen pipes.
  • Never Put Up with Leaking Faucets or Pipes

    Not only do leaking faucets or pipes waste water (in fact, approximately 900 million gallons in the U.S. each year), leaks also contribute to the growth of mold, wood rot, and other structural issues.

    While not all leaks are noticeable, if the water pressure drops you should have a plumbing contractor investigate the situation at once, as it could indicate a leak in the plumbing network. It is not always possible to prevent a leak, however investing in a thorough plumbing inspection once or twice each year is the best way to manage your system and avoid leaks.
