Plumbing failures in commercial buildings rarely give warning — a valve that hasn't been inspected in three years fails at 2 AM, a corroded pipe joint finally gives way during peak occupancy, and the cost snowballs from a $200 repair into a $40,000 water damage event. Preventive maintenance software built for building plumbing systems changes this dynamic by tracking every valve, fixture, pipe segment, and leak incident in one unified platform.

Manage Every Valve, Pipe, and Work Order Across Your Entire Building — One Platform
Oxmaint centralizes valve inspection schedules, pipe repair history, leak incident tracking, and plumbing work orders so your team never loses track of a critical maintenance event.
What Oxmaint Tracks in Your Plumbing System
Every gate valve, ball valve, PRV, and check valve is registered in the asset database with manufacturer specs, last inspection date, and next due date. Oxmaint auto-schedules inspections based on criticality and automatically escalates overdue valves to the work order queue.
Document every repair, re-joint, and pipe replacement with photos, materials used, and technician notes. The system builds a repair history per pipe section so you can identify chronic problem areas, justify capital replacement, and present evidence-based maintenance plans to building owners.
Every leak is logged with location, severity, source, and resolution. AI analysis identifies recurring leak patterns by building zone or system type, surfacing systemic issues that individual incident reports don't reveal. Export full leak history for insurance documentation and capital planning.
Reactive and preventive plumbing work orders are created, assigned, and tracked in one queue. Priority rules auto-route active leaks to on-call plumbers within minutes, while scheduled PMs flow to the appropriate technician based on skill set and availability.
Plumbing PM Compliance — Coverage by System Type
| Plumbing Component | Recommended PM Frequency | What Gets Checked | Risk if Skipped |
|---|---|---|---|
| Isolation Valves | Quarterly | Operation, sealing, corrosion, handle condition | Inability to isolate during emergency |
| Pressure Reducing Valves | Semi-annual | Set pressure, downstream pressure variance, wear | Pipe over-pressure, fixture damage |
| Water Heaters | Annual | Anode rod, sediment flush, T&P valve, element | Legionella risk, efficiency loss, failure |
| Floor Drains | Monthly | Flow test, trap water level, grate condition | Sewer gas intrusion, flooding risk |
| Backflow Preventers | Annual (code required) | Full test per local code, certificate renewal | Regulatory violation, contamination risk |
| Sump Pumps | Quarterly | Float operation, discharge line, alarm function | Basement flooding during storm events |
Every major plumbing failure I've responded to in commercial buildings had the same backstory — an inspection that was overdue, a valve that nobody had exercised in years, or a minor leak that was documented but never followed up on. Plumbing PM isn't glamorous work, but the discipline of tracking every asset and every inspection in software is what separates buildings that avoid disasters from those that don't. I've worked with several CMMS platforms and the ones that make it easy to see what's overdue at a glance, directly from a phone, are the ones that actually get used by technicians in the field.
Never Miss a Valve Inspection or Overdue Plumbing PM Again
Oxmaint auto-schedules every plumbing PM, alerts technicians before due dates, and keeps your complete plumbing maintenance history one search away — for audits, insurance, or capital planning.
