1. Drain and Toilet Clogs - People tend to take better care of their own homes vs public spaces, which is why commercial properties often have issues with clogged drains as people are more likely to flush items that shouldn’t be flushed. Floor drains tend to get clogged in public restrooms due to the pipes getting clogged.

2. Broken Fixtures – Some commercial properties still use traditional style toilet handles which can be broken easily as people will use their feet to flush the toilet as they do not want to touch the handle.

3. Running Toilets – Toilets should never continuously run. They should never randomly flush on their own either. These are signs of an issue within the toilet itself.

4. Leaking Faucets – One leaky faucet can end up costing you hundreds of dollars in wasted water. Just imagine what multiple faucets can cost you.

5. Odors - If the kitchen areas or bathrooms in your commercial property start giving off foul odors, even after a proper clean, there may be an issue with your sewage pipes. This can happen when there’s a blockage caused by debris in the drain.

6. Leaky or Broken Septic Tanks - While septic tanks are not a common occurrence in most commercial properties they can be found occasionally and if your commercial property does have one, it needs to adequately be maintained. No commercial property can last without septic tanks in good working order.

7. Broken Pipes - Just because you can see some leaks, doesn’t mean that you can see them all. Plumbing pipe leaks can happen as well, and this will affect the integrity of your pipes as well as cause mold and potential structural issues for your commercial property. This happens especially in winter months when pipes are not properly insulated.

8. Temperature - Water heaters in commercial properties must be inspected regularly to ensure that they’re in proper working order and without visible wear. A water heater that starts to leak can cause thousands in water damage.

9.  Water Pressure - Remember that leaks and even burst pipes can affect your water pressure. This isn’t something that you can diagnose or fix on your own. If you see that your water pressure is lower than normal contact someone immediately.

10. Faulty Shut-off Valves - A shut-off valve isn’t something that you’d use every day in your commercial property, but it is important to always ensure that they’re working. It’s a crucial part of plumbing safety that can’t be ignored. Regular plumbing inspections will make sure that your shut-off valves are fully operational especially when you need them to be.
