Commercial Fixture Repair

Commercial Fixture Repair

Serving Vancouver WA | Portland OR

Depending upon the business organization, a building may have one set of fixtures in a restroom or multiple sets of fixtures, such as those found in commercial kitchens or industrial settings. When a leak occurs, it is important to isolate the precise cause, minimize repair costs and prevent future problems. At a minimum, a leaky faucet drives up utility costs. An organization with a large number of fixtures can waste a substantial amount of water even when the drips are slow. A commercial fixture repair technician can quickly identify and correct the issue.

Leaky Commercial Faucet Repair

As a faucet ages, it is difficult to stop drips because the handle requires an ever-increasing amount of force to stop dripping. This is usually a sign that an internal component, such as a washer or an O-ring, has failed. Before someone in the organization decides to grab a screwdriver, it is important to find the precise reason for the leak and determine if that particular faucet has replaceable internal components.

Finding the Source of the Leak

An initial inspection by a professional plumber may determine if the leak is coming from the faucet or a sink repair is required. Leaks that occur because of other problems within the plumbing system typically require a plumber’s expertise. These problems can include:

• A loose or broken fitting
• A leaky water line
• A leak drain seal

Having a professional plumber inspect the leak ensures that the problem is correctly identified and repaired quickly and efficiently.

Replacement Commercial Faucets

If a faucet is no longer serviceable, it must be replaced. Depending upon the setting, this may be a hands-free design. To prevent hot water accidents involving customers or associates, business owners should have a professional plumber adjust the temperature setting. A minor sink repair may be required for it to accept the newer model faucet.

Why Hire a Commercial Fixture Repair Specialist?

Hiring an experienced plumber ensures that the work is performed professionally without mistakes that increase the time or cost required to complete the project. A professional plumber is also essential if the repair is extensive or difficult to locate.
