You can find plenty of online tips for taking care of home drains, but what if you’re running a commercial or government building? Homeowners may have more control over drain usage, but that is not the case in most commercial buildings. Dozens, hundreds, or maybe even thousands of people walk in and out of your building every day. How can you take care of your drains when you have less control over who uses them? Thankfully, between drain pipelining, posted expectations, and other simple methods, you can keep your drain pipelining operating smoothly.
Drain Pipelining
Let’s start with the most permanent solution. Newer pipes can handle things like root growth and sewer backup better than older pipes can. If you’ve noticed backups, leaks, or other pipe problems, however, you don’t necessarily have to replace the entire pipe. Drain pipelining may provide an easy and affordable solution. The best part about drain pipelining is that it’s a trenchless technology. Instead of digging to reach the pipe in question, the specialist fixes the pipe by inserting a newer and stronger pipe. The water flows through the new pipeline and bypasses any cracks or other structural problems. These new pipes can often handle much more wear and tear than your old pipes, providing a long-term solution that will save you money.
Post Signs in Kitchens and Bathrooms
This low-cost temporary solution can save your drains from a lot of different issues. If you run an industrial building, people may assume that the plumbing can handle more than it can actually handle. You can solve much of this problem by posting signs in the bathrooms and kitchens. If your employees use a kitchen during lunch hours, post as a sign by the sink asking them to throw leftovers into the garbage can instead of the disposal. Signs in the bathroom can ask patrons not to flush anything other than toilet paper.
Get a Video Camera Inspection
A video camera inspection should take place before drain pipelining. However, you can also use this service just to get a good idea of how well your drains are running. You can use the footage to pinpoint current problems or weaknesses, and you can also figure out what to do to prevent future damage.
