What restaurant plumbing do you do?
- Kitchen drain and grease lines. Cleared and hydro jetted. Jetting scours grease from the pipe wall, which a cable alone does not.
- Floor sinks and floor drains. Cleared, repaired and replaced.
- Sinks. Three-compartment, prep, hand and mop sinks, faucets and pre-rinse sprayers.
- Grease trap and interceptor plumbing. The lines in and out, and installation or replacement of the unit. Pumping out the grease is done by a licensed grease hauler.
- Water heaters. Repair and replacement. A kitchen cannot run without hot water.
- Gas lines. Repair, new lines and connections for ranges, fryers, ovens and other equipment.
- Equipment hookups. Dishwashers, ice machines, coffee and beverage equipment.
- Backflow assemblies. See backflow preventer service.
- Restrooms. See commercial restroom plumbing.
Why do restaurant drains back up so often?
Grease. It goes down warm and liquid, cools in the pipe and sticks to the wall. Food solids catch on it and the opening narrows until it closes. Clearing a hole through it with a cable gets the kitchen running; jetting the line clean is what makes it last.
Can it be done on a schedule?
Yes. Many kitchens have their lines jetted at regular intervals so a backup does not happen in the middle of service. We set the interval by what the line looks like on camera.
Can you come at night?
Yes. Night calls are routine for kitchens. We work after the last table leaves so the line is clear for the next day, and emergency arrival is 60–90 minutes.
Do you do new kitchens and remodels?
Yes. For a new restaurant or a change of layout we run the water, drain, vent and gas lines to your plans, and pull the plumbing permit when the job needs one. Health department and building requirements are set by those agencies; we build the plumbing to the approved plans.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, both. Our contractor license covers plumbing and gas piping, and we carry liability cover and workers' comp. Landlords can have the insurance certificate on request. See commercial plumbing.
