Yes. 72 Degrees Air Conditioning, Heating, and Plumbing offers preventative maintenance plans built specifically for commercial plumbing systems, not just residential ones. A restaurant, hotel, winery, or office building puts demands on its plumbing that a house never will, and the maintenance schedule has to reflect that.

Why Commercial Plumbing Needs a Different Plan

A home might run its kitchen sink a dozen times a day. A Fredericksburg restaurant runs it continuously through a dinner service, sends grease down the line, and cycles a dish machine at 180 degrees. That volume compresses the failure timeline dramatically. Problems that would take a homeowner fifteen years to develop show up in a commercial building in three.

Our commercial plumbers build maintenance schedules around actual usage rather than a generic calendar. A property with heavy grease loading needs its lines cleared on a much tighter interval than an office suite with two restrooms and a break room.

What a Commercial Maintenance Plan Covers

The scope depends on your building, but most plans include some combination of the following:

  • Scheduled drain service. Preventative drain cleaning on a set interval, before a line backs up during business hours. For heavy grease or scale, hydrojetting scours the pipe wall rather than just punching a hole through the blockage.
  • Water heater service. Commercial water heaters work harder and fail faster. Annual flushing and anode inspection extend equipment life substantially.
  • Backflow testing. Most commercial properties are legally required to have a backflow preventer tested annually. We handle the test and the paperwork.
  • Pressure management. A failing pressure reducing valve quietly destroys fixtures and water heaters throughout a building.
  • Full system inspection. A documented plumbing inspection gives you a written condition report you can budget from.

The Real Cost of Reactive Repair

For a business, the repair invoice is rarely the expensive part. The expensive part is the closure.

A sewer backup during Saturday lunch service does not just cost you a drain cleaning call. It costs you the covers you could not seat, the food you had to throw out, the staff you paid to stand around, and the online review that follows you for two years. A water heater that fails on a Friday afternoon in a hotel means guests without hot water and a stack of comped rooms.

Preventative maintenance converts an unpredictable emergency into a scheduled visit you control. We come at 6 a.m. before you open, or on your slow day, and the work happens without a single customer noticing.

Documentation That Protects You

Commercial properties often need to prove maintenance happened. Insurance carriers ask for it after a water loss. Health inspectors ask about grease management. Landlords and tenants argue over which party was responsible for a failure.

Every visit under a maintenance plan generates a written report with findings, photos where relevant, and recommended actions. When a claim or a dispute comes up, you have a documented service history instead of a memory. That record is also what lets you plan capital expenses, because you know a water heater is at year eleven of a twelve-year life before it strands you.

Bundling HVAC and Plumbing

Most commercial clients run both trades through one agreement. Because we also provide commercial HVAC services, your rooftop units and your plumbing system can sit on a single maintenance schedule with a single point of contact. That means one vendor to call, one invoice to process, and one company that knows your building.

It also removes a common failure point: when HVAC and plumbing are split between two vendors, shared systems like condensate drains and gas supply tend to fall in the gap where neither one owns them.

Getting Started

Plans are quoted per property, because a twelve-unit strip center and a single-tenant office have almost nothing in common. We walk the building, inventory the equipment, look at your plumbing system as it actually exists rather than as the drawings claim, and propose a schedule and price from there.

We serve commercial properties across Fredericksburg, Kerrville, Boerne, Comfort, and the surrounding Hill Country. To set up a walkthrough, contact 72 Degrees or call (830) 468-5316.
