When your restrooms are down, it is causing you a problem.

Retail stores, restaurants, and commercial buildings thrive on customer service. So, when you are having a plumbing issue, you need to fix it quickly so you can get back to providing excellent service to your customers.

But what do you do when you keep having the same problem with a toilet or drain line backing up? The problem may be bigger than you think.

Here are 3 signs that your drain line needs cleaning.

1. I just had a plumber there last week! If you are saying this, you need to have your drain lines cleaned. Chances are your plumber only snaked the drain line, which works well when you have clear drain lines. But if you don’t, you may have only pushed the clog farther down the line.
2. Multiple restrooms are backed up. If this is the case, you have a drain line problem. Restrooms usually feed into the same main drain line, so if there is more than one backed up at a time, the clog is most likely in the main line.
3. It’s been more that 3 months since the last time they were cleared. Retail stores, restaurants, and commercial buildings get a lot of traffic, so their restrooms get a lot of use. You can significantly reduce the number of plumbing issue you have with a preventative maintenance program for drain line cleaning. Advanced Retail Solutions recommends a quarterly cleaning program.
