When dealing with an industrial plumbing system, the potential for complications is much higher than that of a residential system. In a school or hospital where there are multiplied numbers of toilets and sinks, and many more people using them, you can imagine that they may become worn out much quicker than in our homes. These issues can vary from small to large in size, but usually require the service of a professional. Some issues might turn disastrous if not addressed. Here’s a few common problems you may experience in an industrial setting, and signs that it may be time to call a plumber.
Hydraulic Systems
Hydraulic systems use the power of fluids to operate machinery and can be used in many different types of industries. There are a few signs to look out for in your hydraulic systems that may be cause for concern. If you hear abnormal noises that sound like banging or knocking, it may be caused be aeration. Air usually enters through the air pumps, so it’s important to make sure the clamps are tight. Another sign to look out for is high fluid temperatures. If the fluid reaches above 180°F, it can damage seals and accelerate degradation of the fluid. Lastly, the most obvious sign to look out for is slow operation. If there is any sign of reduced performance from your hydraulic system, it is likely that something is not working properly. If any of these circumstances should occur, call a professional to get your system checked out.
Leaks
Leaky faucet? It may not seem like a glaring issue, but it may be costing you more than you think. Some industrial systems can lose up to thousands of liters an hour through leakage. These leaks may also pose major safety hazards if they’re not fixed.
Pipes and Connections
When it comes to pipes and connections, these are issues that should never be put off. They can potentially be very dangerous if massive amounts of water start to get into complex electrical systems. If you notice anything unusual about your pipes contact your plumber to see how it can be fixed.
