Common Plumbing Emergencies in Commercial Buildings

At Caledonian Heating & Plumbing Ltd, we understand that plumbing emergencies in commercial buildings can disrupt your business operations and cause significant damage. Based in Edinburgh, our team of experienced commercial plumbing contractors is ready to tackle any emergency, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency. Here are some of the most common plumbing emergencies we encounter in commercial buildings.



Burst Pipes

Burst pipes are a frequent and serious plumbing emergency. They can cause extensive water damage, disrupt business activities, and result in costly repairs. Factors like freezing temperatures, old or corroded pipes, and increased water pressure can lead to pipes bursting. At Caledonian Heating & Plumbing Ltd, we provide rapid response to repair or replace burst pipes, ensuring your business can resume normal operations as quickly as possible.

Clogged Drains

Clogged drains are another common issue in commercial properties, often caused by the accumulation of debris, grease, or foreign objects. This problem can lead to slow drainage, unpleasant odours, and even sewage backups. Our commercial plumbing service includes thorough inspections and effective clearing of clogs using the latest equipment to prevent future occurrences.

Leaking Faucets and Fixtures

While a leaking faucet might seem minor, it can waste significant amounts of water and increase utility bills. In commercial buildings, multiple leaking faucets and fixtures can quickly become a costly issue. Our expert plumbers can swiftly identify and repair leaks, helping you conserve water and reduce expenses.

Water Heater Failures

A malfunctioning water heater can severely impact businesses, especially those in the hospitality and healthcare sectors. Common signs of water heater problems include inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, and discoloured water. Our team is skilled in diagnosing and repairing water heaters, ensuring your commercial property has a reliable supply of hot water.

Sewer System Backups

Sewer system backups are particularly troublesome, posing health risks and potentially causing extensive damage to your property. These emergencies often result from blockages, tree root instructions, or damaged sewer lines. At Caledonian Heating & Plumbing Ltd, we use advanced diagnostic tools to identify the cause of the backup and provide efficient solutions to restore your sewer system.

Preventative Maintenance

While emergencies can happen, preventative maintenance can help mitigate the risk. Regular inspections and maintenance by qualified commercial plumbing contractors can identify potential issues before they become major problems. At Caledonian Heating & Plumbing Ltd, we offer comprehensive maintenance plans tailored to the unique needs of your commercial property.
