How to avoid putting this sign on the door 'Business closed due to plumbing issue'?
How often have you seen this sign on the door of a business? Too many times.
A quick search of news items on the web brings up dozens of businesses large and small which have had to close down temporarily due to plumbing problems in the last month. Not only are these establishments losing money because of the closure, but we'd also bet it's not doing their reputation any favours either. A food court, library, bakery, university offices, school buildings and restaurants are just a few of the businesses affected, the list goes on, and on.
Granted, some of these plumbing problems are unavoidable, however, we suspect that many of them could have been avoided with the correct preventative maintenance program.
It ain't broken, don't fix it
Unfortunately, many businesses only address issues as they arise instead of preempting problems. This is could be understandable from an expense point of view as meeting the regular business costs can be difficult enough for some months, without adding to them.
The flaw in this way of thinking comes about when problems inevitably occur and end up costing double or triple what the original service would have cost. That's without adding in the lost revenue if you have to close at any time.
The plumbing crystal ball
While we would all love to be able to predict the future, like death and taxes, plumbing or drainage issues can be counted on to occur at some stage in the life of a building. Just like regular doctor's checkups, plumbing, and drain maintenance can protect your business from unexpected shocks.
Most issues from broken pipes, blocked drains, backed-up sewerage pipes and stormwater flooding can usually be avoided with regular preventative measures such as drain cleaning and plumbing inspections . Scheduling a clean and drain inspection once or twice a year (sometimes more often depending on the business) is all it takes to prevent a huge range of plumbing problems.
Let's face it the predictable costs involved in scheduled plumbing maintenance are much easier to budget for than uncertain plumbing or drain repairs.
