Two reasons to call a commercial plumber for a slow-moving drain in your beauty salon
If one of the drains in your beauty salon is draining slowly, you must call a commercial plumber right away. Here are two reasons why.
The drain's smell could put off customers
Whilst no commercial premises should smell unpleasant, it is particularly important for a beauty salon to have a pleasant and clean scent. Customers who are having their brows or legs waxed or who are having eyelash extensions done usually want to know that the salon they're having these treatments at is sanitary, and one of the ways in which they determine this is by observing its smell.
If your customers can smell the rotting odour coming from the slow-moving drain, they might take this to mean that you're not keeping your beauty salon in sanitary condition (even if this is not the case). Whilst they might not directly confront you about this, they might choose to get their beauty treatments done somewhere else if they have to put up with this odour during their salon appointment.
As such, even if your ability to perform beauty treatments isn't being affected by the slow-moving drain in the salon, you should have a commercial plumber remove the debris that is stopping the water from flowing down it at the fast rate that it's supposed to.
It could get completely blocked
Even if there is no detectable odour coming from your salon's slow-moving drain, you should still have it checked out by a commercial plumber quickly. The reason for this is that if the water is not draining through this drain quickly, there is something in that drain that is creating a blockage. If you continue to use the sink to which the drain is attached to wash your hands, rinse your client's hair after doing hair treatments or wash thick skincare products off your skincare application tools, that blockage's dimensions could increase and fully block the drain.
This would not only render the sink unusable but would also increase the chances of the plumbing pipes that are connected to that drain bursting. If you don't get the blockage broken up by a commercial plumber now, when the sink is still functional, you may find yourself suddenly unable to use this sink during business hours and have to send customers away, due to the sink not draining or dirty water leaking out of its attached, broken pipes. As such, this is a plumbing issue that you should get resolved immediately.
