Plumbing Systems in Commercial Properties

Why Plumbing Inspections Matter

Commercial plumbing systems are often overlooked until a problem surfaces, but they can be a hidden source of costly repairs. According to the EPA, 10% of commercial water use is lost to leaks, wasting thousands of gallons annually. For property owners and managers, small leaks or corrosion can add up quickly in both operating costs and repair bills.

Common Issues We See

• Corroded or leaking pipes in visible areas

• Low water pressure or inconsistent flow

• Cross-connections creating contamination risks

• Staining or signs of hidden leaks around fixtures

What Our Plumbing Inspections Include

Following the CCPIA Commercial Standards of Practice (ComSOP), Guardian’s plumbing inspections are visual evaluations that include:

• Observation of exposed supply and drain piping

• Evaluation of visible fixtures and connections

• Signs of leaks, corrosion, or water intrusion

• Review of water pressure and flow (when accessible)

• Identifying location of main shut off, back-flow prevention and pressure reducer
