Three Common Commercial Plumbing Issues

Al Mclean • August 15, 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.

As licensed commercial plumbers in Bayside, there are three common commercial plumbing issues we often service. 

Hot Water System Maintenance

Without a doubt, commercial hot water systems support many areas of a Melbourne business at the same time. Therefore, large hot water systems experience more stress than residential hot water systems. So, commercial hot water systems require more maintenance to stay in proper working condition. 


And when an issue occurs with your commercial hot water system it is important to have it fixed immediately to prevent damage to other equipment.

Grease Interceptors & Trade Waste Drainage

Whether you operate a food-related or industrial business, you will create wastewater. Otherwise known as trade waste, waste water needs to be treated before it is discharged into the sewer network. A grease trap or grease interceptor is a component of your commercial waste system and needs to be in perfect working order to prevent grease and solids from entering the sewerage system. 


Since food-related businesses need to meet a high standard of cleanliness it is imperative your grease trap and drains are in proper working order. So, if a grease interceptor backs up or needs maintenance you need to seek the services of a commercial plumber in Brighton immediately as it can be a health hazard or even shut down your operations.

Signs You Have a Blocked Grease Interceptor

If you experience any of the following issues call your local commercial plumber in Bayside:


  • Sulfur-like smell
  • Drips, puddles or wet floors
  • Gurgling sounds coming from drains
  • Slow-draining basins
  • Overflowing plumbing fixtures
  • Changes to your water pressure
