3 Common Commercial Plumbing Issues in Melbourne

Al Mclean • August 17, 2025

As the scorching Australian summer approaches, many of us are eagerly preparing for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, and pool parties. However, one aspect of preparation that often gets overlooked is gas appliance servicing for homeowners.

Without a doubt, plumbing issues can disrupt your business, and you may even have to shut down to rectify the problem. While scheduled preventive maintenance helps limit the number of commercial plumbing issues you may have, it won’t eliminate them all. However, being aware of the three most common commercial plumbing issues will ensure you know what to watch out for. 

Sewage Odours 

It’s entirely normal for your drains to smell occasionally. However, if you notice a foul odour that smells of sewage regularly, it is time to have your pipes and drains checked by a commercial plumber in Melbourne. 

Low Water Pressure 

If your water pressure drops significantly, you have a problem. Often low water pressure results from a leak or may be attributed to water supply issues. While low water pressure may not seem like a large issue – you can still fill those cooking pots or wash dishes after all, even if it takes longer, you could be ignoring a potentially more significant problem. 


Reach out to your Melbourne plumber to locate the reason for your low water pressure. Remember water leaks and burst pipes will not only set back your business but may also force a closure! Keep your business running smoothly with one phone call to your reliable commercial plumber. 

Hot Water Issues 

Hot water systems often fail at inconvenient times. Therefore as soon as you realise you have an issue with your hot water heater, contact a commercial plumber like Almac Plumbing. Experienced in gas hot water heaters, solar-boosted hot water and continuous flow hot water systems, Almac Plumbing will have your hot water system repair complete as soon as possible. 

Preventative Plumbing Maintenance 

Commercial plumbing issues often don’t appear out of nowhere. Be alert and contact a licensed commercial plumber when you notice slow drainage, strange odours, or a decrease in water temperature. Keep your plumbing system in shape with regular preventive commercial plumbing maintenance. Remember fixing a leak is more cost-effective than dealing with a water-damaged space.
