They say that only death and taxes are a sure thing, but anyone maintaining a commercial or industrial space knows that something, somewhere at some point is going to break.<\/p>\n
When it does it can either be an inconvenience or a great big problem, and whether or not a business is prepared can be the difference.<\/p>\n
The worst-case scenario is that the break is an integral part of a larger system or poses a safety threat and your whole business has to shut down until it is fixed, but even when that isn\u2019t the case, repairs in a commercial setting are almost always urgent to at least some degree. And that\u2019s where it pays to be prepared.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say that a pipe has punctured. Water is starting to leak and there is a fair bit of pressure going through that pipe, it could get worse at any moment, so you\u2019d better shut it off. But shutting it off means closing that section which is going to impact your bottom line.<\/p>\n
And what about when you can\u2019t turn the water off? Well, with the right products, you can even repair pipes that are still under pressure. For that, you\u2019d use a roll of\u00a0Dyna Stretch & Seal Tape<\/strong>. It can be used up to a pressure of 11 bar in extreme heat or cold and is self-sealing so can even be used fully submerged and stops the flow of water. Emergency averted.<\/p>\n Some may call it a lucky break to have\u00a0Dyna Stretch & Seal Tape<\/strong>\u00a0on hand when a pipe bursts. Others know it\u2019s just about being prepared. Arming yourself with the tools and knowledge for unexpected outcomes saves time and money.<\/p>\n To make sure you are prepared, here are the handiest repair products to have on hand.<\/p>\n Keeping some\u00a0Mega Fix-it\u00a0<\/strong>in the storeroom, means you\u2019re ready to repair, bond or fill a multitude of materials including, metals hard plastics, concrete and wood, even if they come into contact with potable water.
