Commercial Plumbing Preventive Maintenance
Plumbing maintenance works best when it starts on day one. Waiting until a system shows signs of trouble means the damage is often already done.
Commercial Plumbing Preventive Maintenance in Austin, TX
Team Services provides commercial plumbing preventive maintenance programs to facilities across the Austin area — scheduled service for water heaters, boilers, lift stations, backflow assemblies, and the systems that keep your facility’s water and drainage running reliably.
A plumbing preventive maintenance contract works best when it starts on day one — right after a water heater, boiler, or lift station is installed. Waiting until something shows signs of trouble means a lot of the damage has likely already happened. Starting consistent maintenance from the beginning is what actually makes a difference.
Why Plumbing PM Starts on Day One
Water heaters are the clearest example of why timing matters. From the moment a commercial water heater goes into service, calcium from the water supply starts building up inside the tank. Without regular flushing from the start, that buildup accumulates — and it can build up around small pinhole leaks that form in the tank over time.
Here’s the part most people don’t realize: that calcium buildup is often what’s been preventing those leaks from showing up. If a tank that’s never been maintained gets flushed for the first time after years of service, removing the buildup can reveal leaks that were there the whole time — just masked. The damage already happened; it just wasn’t visible yet.
This is exactly why we explain to customers that the best time to start a maintenance contract is the day a water heater, boiler, or lift station goes in. It’s a small thing now that prevents a much bigger conversation later.
What's Included in a Plumbing PM Program
Water Heater Maintenance
Regular flushing to prevent calcium and sediment buildup, anode rod inspection, temperature and pressure relief valve testing, and overall condition assessment, extending the life of your water heaters and reducing the risk of leaks and failures.
Boiler Maintenance
Scheduled inspection and maintenance of commercial boilers, including flushing, combustion checks, and safety device testing, coordinated with our HVAC team, where boilers serve both heating and process needs.
Lift Station Maintenance
Regular inspection and service of lift station pumps, floats, alarms, and controls, catching developing issues before they result in a backup or failure that can disrupt facility operations and create a much larger problem.
Backflow Testing & Certification
Annual backflow preventer testing and certification are required by most municipalities to maintain compliance and protect your facility’s water supply.
General Plumbing System Inspection
Visual inspection of accessible piping, fixtures, and connections for signs of leaks, corrosion, or developing issues, documented for your facility’s maintenance records.
