What Are Common Signs of a Clogged Pipe in Commercial Buildings?

Below are some telltale signs of a clog in commercial settings:

• Multi-fixture backups may occur when waste has nowhere to go and is forced backward into the lowest open point.
• Slow-draining floor drains in restaurants, warehouses, and restrooms are often the first sign of a main line blockage or a full grease trap.
• Persistent foul odors or a “rotten egg” smell can indicate that a clog is preventing proper venting. 
• Gurgling or bubbling sounds from toilets or sinks can signal trapped air due to a downstream blockage. 
• Unexplained water bill spikes are frequently associated with running toilets or drainage issues due to back-pressure from a clog. 

If you suspect a clogged pipe, don’t hesitate to contact our commercial plumbers for swift service. We use professional-grade equipment to diagnose the culprit and restore proper flow without causing further damage to pipes.

What Are Common Commercial HVAC Systems Used in Georgia Businesses?

Our technicians handle all types of commercial HVAC systems, such as rooftop units, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, and water-source heat pumps. The right system will depend on your building size, cooling needs, and other factors. 

We can evaluate your current setup, assist with professional sizing, and make sure your new HVAC system is installed up to code. We use Manual N calculations to determine an appropriate capacity for your building’s peak usage, operating hours, and heat loads.

How Can Hard Water Affect Commercial Plumbing Systems?

Hard water can cause mineral buildup in pipes, valves, and mechanical room equipment over time, leading to shortened appliance lifespans, restricted water pressure, reduced efficiency, corrosion, leaks, and fixture damage.

Our commercial plumbers can help you mitigate the impacts of hard water on your pipes by recommending descaling treatments, providing routine maintenance and tank flushing, and installing commercial-grade softeners or descalers if needed.

Can a Heat Pump Handle Georgia’s Muggy Summers?

Yes. Heat pumps are highly effective at managing humidity and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures year-round, even during the sticky summer months. We can discuss your options, compare features and efficiency ratings, and recommend a system that balances comfort and long-term savings. 

How Can Clay Soil Affect Cooling Towers in Commercial Settings?

Unlike standard residential units that use air to cool coils, large commercial systems often use water as a medium to carry heat away from the building’s interior. Cooling towers provide the heat-rejection capacity required for commercial buildings.

However, our region’s clay soil can shrink and swell over time, which can increase stress on underground piping and lead to shifting foundations, misaligned piping, water basin issues, leaks, uneven water distribution, and reduced cooling efficiency. 

Our team is familiar with these local soil quality challenges to inspect systems, realign components, reinforce supports, and address leaks or uneven flow to keep your commercial cooling towers operating efficiently.

What Is the Difference Between Standard HVAC & Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS)? 

Unlike standard HVAC systems that primarily recirculate indoor air to maintain temperature, a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) focuses exclusively on bringing in 100% fresh outside air. By separating the ventilation (fresh air) from the thermal loads (heating and cooling), a DOAS can provide better humidity control and superior indoor air quality that standard units often struggle to manage alone.
