Here are a few questions that commercial space owners ask us on a regular basis:
- What’s the most expensive commercial plumbing problem that can be found during an inspection?
- Are there any commercial plumbing issues that can severely endanger the foundation of my building?
- Why do commercial plumbers always check out basements and crawlspaces?
The answer to all of these questions is the notorious “slab leak.”
Commercial plumbing in Boynton Beach, FL is fairly simple when things are in good shape. We can ensure drains are not clogged, appliances are running, and no water is being wasted. We’ll fix leaks and even repipe a whole establishment. That’s the easy part.
The hard part of our job is when we encounter a building’s foundation that is in desperate need for repairs. This problem is called a “slab leak,” and it can be expensive to repair, as well as a necessary cost to keep your structure standing.
Slab leaks are the “he who must not be named” of plumbing problems. The term exists in the back of every homeowner’s mind while they cross their fingers during a plumbing visit, hoping the words “slab leak” don’t come into the conversation. They can be just that bad.
