What the work covers

- Grease trap cleaning
- Grease trap repair, sizing and installation
- Backflow testing, with the test paperwork filed
- Backflow repair and installation
- New construction plumbing
A backflow preventer keeps water in a building's plumbing from flowing back into the public supply. Many local water systems require a yearly test. We run the test, repair the device if it fails, and file the test paperwork.
Grease traps work until they are full. A trap that is too small for the kitchen, or cleaned too rarely, lets grease through to the sewer line, and the line clogs. We clean and repair traps, and when a kitchen has outgrown its trap we size and install the right one.
New construction plumbing starts with the lines that go in before the slab is poured and ends at the fixtures.
Questions
Commercial plumbing: common questions
How often does a backflow preventer need testing?
Many local water systems require a yearly test. The notice from your water system states what yours requires.
Do you file the backflow test paperwork?
Yes. Filing the test paperwork is part of the job.
How do I know if a grease trap is the right size?
If it fills quickly, or grease is reaching the sewer line, it may be undersized for the kitchen. We size a trap for the kitchen it serves, then install it.
