JL Construction: How to handle plumbing setbacks on your construction site

Plumbing issues are a common cause of delays and added costs on construction sites. Whether during installation or later stages, these problems can disrupt timelines and lead to costly repairs. 

Here are some common plumbing issues to watch for to avoid setbacks and extra expenses:

• Leaking pipes are a common issue that can occur due to poor installation or accidental damage during transport. Even a small leak can lead to significant water damage if not handled promptly.

• Using pipes that are too large or too small for the intended purpose can cause issues like low water pressure or inefficient water flow. This can lead to future maintenance issues or system failures.

• Construction debris like dust, cement, and small tools can easily clog drains, especially during the early phases of a project. These blockages can result in slow drainage and potential backups.

• Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction, potentially contaminating the clean water supply. This is often caused by changes in water pressure or poor installation.

• In colder climates, frozen pipes can be a serious concern during construction, particularly if the project isn’t completed before winter. Frozen pipes can crack and burst, leading to expensive repairs.

Plumbing issues can cause major disruptions, but with proper planning, they’re easy to prevent. At JL Construction, we ensure all plumbing systems are properly installed and tested to keep your project on track.
