Plumbing mishaps can derail your restaurant and shut down the business until the issue is fixed. Owners, staff, and chefs must be aware of some signs that the kitchen needs professional plumbers to assess mounting problems before they worsen. Here are four indications you need an expert now.

Does Your Restaurant Need Plumbing Repairs?

1. Lack of Hot Water

Hot water is essential whether you use it for dishes or have a special spigot for cooking. Ensure your restaurant is prepared to sanitize and boil by calling a plumber if you can’t get enough hot water. There may be an issue with the water heater or a leak due to corroded pipes.

2. Sudden Utility Bill Increases

There might be a leak seeping water underground that could cause a flood. Pipe joints may have failed, or old pipe materials could be rusty, leaking water into the walls or basement and costing you money.

3. Slow Drainage

Restaurants must have plumbing that can handle high usage, from bathrooms to floor drains and sinks. If any of these fixtures are draining slowly, you might have a clog that could back up graywater or sewage into the building and shut down the business.

Plumbers can use innovative tools like drain cameras to look into the pipes and find the obstructions. They’ll break it up or dissolve the debris lining the pipes and provide insight into how to avoid it in the future.

Many kitchen sinks clog due to grease drainage, and slow buildup requires drain cleaning to prevent it from happening again. The plumbers will also clean the grease traps to ensure these partial solids won’t enter the sewage and heighten the likelihood of blockage.
