Im sure they are not, but it pays to use common sense and take reasonable precautions. Not every property may follow proper system maintenance, maintain plumbing integrity, etc. though the better brands are likely to be uniformly assiduous in doing so and avoiding negative reports to HQ and on the Internet review sites.
I say this as one who has both lived in Mexico, and visited throughout the country and the Americas for a number of decades, traveling from luxury to backpacker niches.
