If it is an emergency right now
Close the main water shutoff if water is flowing, and stop using fixtures if a drain is backing up. Keep customers and staff away from wet floors and from any area where sewage has surfaced.
If you smell gas, leave the building and call 911 and your gas utility from outside. Do not turn lights on or off. Then call us once everyone is safe.
Commercial problems we handle
Business plumbing is bigger than a house, and the stakes are higher.
- Main sewer line backups that affect restrooms, floor drains, or kitchens.
- Grease trap and interceptor problems in restaurants and food service.
- Burst or leaking supply lines, and water heater failures.
- Restroom fixture repairs, flush valves, and urinals.
- Storm drain and floor drain problems after heavy monsoon rain.
Restaurants, grease traps, and kitchen drains
Commercial kitchens send grease, oils, and food solids into the drain every hour they are open. A grease trap or interceptor catches part of this, but it has to be cleaned on a schedule or it overflows into the sewer line.
A kitchen drain that backs up during service is a common emergency call. We clear the line, find out why it filled, and help you set up a routine. For stubborn grease buildup in a main line, our hydro jetting service cleans the pipe wall instead of just boring a hole through the blockage.
Common commercial plumbing needs
Different buildings face different risks.
| Building type | Common problem | Usual response |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant or food service | Grease backups, floor drain overflow | Line cleaning and trap service, see drain cleaning |
| Retail or office | Restroom fixtures, water heater failure | Repair or replace the heater |
| Multi-unit rental building | Shared line backups, leaks between units | Camera inspection, see sewer inspection |
| Warehouse or industrial | Floor drains, storm drains | Clear and test drain runs |
Storm drains and monsoon season
Southern Arizona's summer monsoon brings short, heavy rain. Parking lots, loading docks, and roof drains carry a lot of water in a short time. Debris, sediment, and caliche-hard soil can block a storm drain or a roof drain and push water into the building.
Clearing debris before the season starts is cheaper than a flooded storeroom. We can inspect and flush roof and yard drains, and we will tell you if a line is collapsed or sunk, which a camera shows clearly.
Working with your schedule
We schedule non-emergency work for off-hours when we can, so customers are not disrupted. For property managers, we document what we find, with photos and a short written summary, so you have a record for owners and insurers.
A routine visit is cheaper than an emergency. A yearly check of water heaters, backflow assemblies, grease traps, and main lines catches problems on your schedule instead of the worst possible day.

Business insurance may cover loss from a sudden backup or burst pipe. Ask your agent. Call (855) 575-2890 for your real number.
Standards and rules for business plumbing
Grease interceptors are made to ASME A112.14.3, and the model to install is usually set by the plumbing code and any local rules for fats, oils, and grease. Those rules differ from town to town.
Ask the Town of Sahuarita, or Pima County for Green Valley, which rules apply to your building.
