Kitchen and grease lines

Commercial kitchen drains take a beating every day. Grease, food scraps, rice and coffee grounds gradually accumulate inside the pipes, restricting water flow and increasing the risk of backups. A drain cable breaks through the blockage and gets water moving again, but much of the grease stays stuck to the pipe walls. Hydro jetting washes that layer away with high pressure water, which makes it a good fit for restaurants dealing with recurring clogs. Kitchen sinks, prep sinks, dishwashers and floor sinks often share connected drain lines, meaning one blockage can quickly affect multiple areas of the kitchen. Hydro jetting can be scheduled before opening or after closing, so the work doesn't interfere with meal service. A camera inspection afterward can help confirm the condition of the pipe and identify any remaining issues.

Floor drains

When a floor drain backs up in a commercial kitchen, brewery or pet grooming facility, the problem isn't always directly beneath the drain. Blockages often develop farther down a shared drain line, affecting multiple fixtures and causing recurring backups. Rather than simply clearing the drain opening, the contractor locates the source of the blockage and addresses the underlying issue. This gets water draining again and helps prevent the same problem from returning.

Restrooms, toilets and urinals

Commercial restrooms handle heavy use, and flushing wipes, paper towels and other materials can lead to clogs that keep coming back. The contractor handles everything from clearing blocked toilets and replacing worn flappers, fill valves and flush valves to repairing or replacing urinals and installing new fixtures. If multiple restrooms back up at the same time, let us know when you call. This can indicate a blockage in the main sewer line rather than an individual fixture. Telling us helps the contractor bring the right equipment and plan the approach before arriving.

Main sewer line and camera inspection

When sinks, toilets and floor drains start backing up at the same time, the problem often points to a blockage in a shared drain or main sewer line. A camera inspection can help locate the obstruction and reveal what's happening inside the pipe. This allows the contractor to determine whether traditional drain cleaning, hydro jetting or a more extensive repair is needed, rather than recommending a solution without knowing the cause.

Water heaters

Restaurants need hot water for washing dishes and keeping kitchens clean. Salons depend on it at their sinks, and hotels need it throughout their guest rooms. When a water heater fails or can't keep up with demand, customers notice and work can come to a stop. The contractor repairs and replaces commercial tank and tankless water heaters, from individual units to larger systems serving multiple fixtures, floors or buildings.

Backflow

The City of San Diego requires backflow prevention devices to be tested annually by a certified tester on the city's approved list. A leaking device or failed inspection needs prompt attention, as unresolved violations can result in fines or even water service being shut off. The contractor repairs and replaces faulty backflow devices and coordinates certified testing afterward to help businesses stay compliant, protect their water supply and avoid costly interruptions.

Faucets, sinks and fixtures

Commercial sinks and faucets endure constant use, especially in busy restaurants, bars and commercial kitchens. Over time, hand sinks, prep sinks, bar sinks and mop sinks can develop leaks, drainage problems and worn fixtures that slow down kitchen work and leave sinks unusable. A malfunctioning handwashing sink can also raise concerns during a health inspection. The contractor repairs leaking faucets, clogged drains and damaged supply lines, and installs new sinks and fixtures when replacement is the more practical, cost effective solution.

Leaks

Plumbing leaks aren't always immediately visible. Water escaping beneath sinks, behind walls or around water heaters may first appear as stains, musty odors or an unexplained increase in the water bill. Left untreated, even a small leak can cause significant damage to walls, flooring, equipment and inventory. The contractor locates the source of the problem, uses specialized leak detection equipment when necessary and repairs the damaged plumbing to stop the leak.

A Job That Happened Here

Both restrooms closed on a Saturday, and their plumber could not come.

The manager of a grocery store in Hillcrest called on a Saturday. The men's and women's restrooms were both closed, their regular plumbers could not get there that day, and the store was not on contract with us. We told them exactly how it would go. One person to reach, and updates by text and phone at every step. Someone was out within the hour. Both restrooms were open again that afternoon.

Other San Diego calls have included a juice bar in Mission Beach whose new owner wanted a walkthrough of everything she was worried about, a store in Miramar with a restroom line that needed hydro jetting, and a tattoo shop in North Park with a restroom clog that got handled right away.

San Diego Commercial Plumbing Questions

Answers before you call.

Do you offer same day commercial plumbing service in San Diego?

Yes. We offer same day commercial plumbing service. Whether your business has a clogged drain, leaking pipe, broken toilet or water heater problem, call (858) 324-6400 and tell us what's happening. We'll tell you on the call when someone can be there.

Yes. Our hours are 7am to 10pm, 7 days a week, and most holidays. We understand that plumbing work can interfere with customers, employees and appointments. Tell us your business hours, and we'll work with you to find a service time that makes sense.

How will we know what's happening if the business owner or manager isn't on site?

We provide updates by phone or text throughout the job. You'll know when the contractor is on the way, what problems are found and what work is recommended. We can also coordinate with employees, property managers or maintenance companies while keeping the person in charge informed.

Will we receive an estimate before commercial plumbing repairs begin?

Yes. The contractor first examines the problem and explains what needs to be repaired or replaced. You'll get the cost before any work begins. If more problems turn up, the contractor goes over the findings and the cost with you before going further.

Can you handle commercial plumbing repairs when the property owner isn't on site?

Yes. We regularly coordinate plumbing repairs with property managers, real estate professionals and businesses responsible for commercial buildings. We can communicate with the tenant or employee providing access while keeping the property owner or manager updated. Before any repair, the contractor explains the problem and gives the cost.

What's the difference between drain snaking and hydro jetting for restaurant grease lines?

Drain snaking breaks through a blockage to get water moving again, but grease can remain along the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high pressure water to wash away that buildup. For restaurants experiencing repeated kitchen drain backups, hydro jetting may provide a more thorough cleaning. The work can be done around your business hours, and the contractor can run a camera afterward to check the pipe's condition.

Do you handle restaurant and commercial kitchen plumbing in San Diego?

Yes. We work with restaurants, bars, cafes, coffee shops and other food service businesses throughout San Diego. Common problems include grease clogged kitchen drains, backed up floor sinks, leaking faucets, broken toilets and failing water heaters. We also serve offices, retail stores, salons and commercial properties with multiple tenants.
