In commercial properties, it’s easy to overlook the buildup of materials that enter drains daily. Substances like grease, food scraps, soap, and debris from high-traffic areas can accumulate in your plumbing over time, leading to water flow problems and clogged drains.
Fortunately, clogged drains are often easier to diagnose than other plumbing issues. The first signs are typically visible in the water flow. If you notice slow drainage or water that doesn’t drain at all, it’s likely due to a buildup of material restricting the flow through the drain. Identifying these early signs can help prevent further complications and costly repairs.
Many commercial property owners may be tempted to use chemical drain cleaners to address clogged drains, believing the acidic ingredients will dissolve the blockage. However, these products can cause significant damage, especially to plumbing systems. For example, they can corrode pipes and septic systems, leading to more expensive repairs and potential safety hazards.
Additionally, chemical drain cleaners pose serious risks to those handling them. Contact with the skin can result in severe burns, and inhaling the fumes can damage the lungs. It’s best to avoid these harsh chemicals and instead call Dover for safe, professional drain cleaning solutions that protect your property and ensure your plumbing system remains intact.
