Drainage and Waste Removal

Drainage and waste removal are absolutely essential to protecting both our investment and the health of our tenants, employees, and customers. Plumbing systems in commercial buildings must be designed to safely and efficiently remove wastewater and sewage not only through visible fixtures, but via a well-thought-out network of drainage pipes, traps, vents, and connections to city sewers or septic systems.

• Drainage Pipes carry wastewater out of the building, preventing backups and maintaining sanitary conditions. Inadequate or damaged pipes can result in blockages, flooding, and structural damage.
• Traps (the U-shaped bends under drains) keep dangerous sewer gases from entering the building, protecting indoor air quality and safety.
• Vents allow air to flow into the drainage system, enabling wastewater to flow smoothly and preventing the vacuum effect that could disrupt system function or cause odors indoors.
• Sewer Connections link the property’s plumbing to municipal sewage systems or, in some cases, to on-site septic tanks, ensuring waste is properly treated and disposed of.

Regular inspection and ongoing maintenance of these systems are vital catching leaks, clogs, or failures early prevents costly repairs and regulatory violations. In addition, commercial buildings often use specialized drainage solutions, like grease traps in kitchens or floor drains in high-use areas, tailored to their operations.

A well-designed and maintained drainage and waste removal system is not just a background necessity it’s central to keeping the property usable, compliant, and valuable for everyone who depends on it.
