Brands we work on every week
Commercial plumbing covers the same basics as a home, drains, water heaters, fixtures, valves and gas, but with heavier use, larger equipment and less tolerance for downtime. We repair restroom fixtures, clear kitchen and main drains, service commercial water heaters, test backflow assemblies and fix leaks, and we schedule disruptive work before or after business hours when we can.
Warning signs
Commercial plumbing problems we get called for most
Kitchen drains backing up during service
Grease, food solids and soap build up fast in restaurant lines. Floor sinks and prep sink drains slowing down is often the first warning before a full backup.
Restroom fixtures that won't stop running
Flush valves on commercial toilets and urinals wear out with heavy use. A running fixture wastes water and often signals worn diaphragms or seals.
Hot water that can't keep up
Commercial water heaters in restaurants, salons and apartment buildings work hard. Losing capacity at peak times usually points to sediment, a failing element or burner trouble.
Leaks above a ceiling or through a wall
Tenant spaces and multifamily buildings share plumbing. A stain on a drop ceiling tile or water at a baseboard can come from a unit or floor above.
Odors from floor drains
Rarely used floor drains dry out, letting sewer gas into the space. Trap primers or regular water additions solve it, but a persistent odor can mean a venting issue.
Annual backflow test notices
Most commercial properties have testable backflow assemblies on domestic, fire or irrigation lines, and Aurora requires them to be tested at least once a year.
Step by step
How we work with business owners and property managers
- 01
Describe the problem and urgency
Tell us the property type, what is happening and your operating hours, so we can send the right equipment and plan around your business.
- 02
We diagnose on site
We find the cause, explain it in plain terms and give you a price for the repair before any work begins, plus options when there are several.
- 03
We schedule around your hours
Urgent problems get fixed right away. Work that needs a water shutoff or makes noise can be scheduled for early, late or weekend hours.
- 04
We complete and test the repair
Every repair is tested under normal use, whether that means running a dish machine, flushing fixtures or checking water heater recovery.
- 05
We leave clear notes
You or your property manager get a written summary of the work, findings and recommended follow up for your maintenance records.
Keeping restaurants and food service running
Restaurant plumbing takes a beating. Kitchen lines carry grease and food solids, dish machines run hot all day, and floor sinks catch everything. We clear grease-heavy lines with cable machines or hydro jetting, repair prep sink and mop sink plumbing, and service water heaters that supply dish machines and hand sinks.
Grease interceptors need regular pumping by a waste hauler, but the plumbing around them, including inlet and outlet lines, baffles and connections, is our work. A slow kitchen drain is usually cheaper to fix on a Tuesday afternoon than during a dinner rush. We are happy to set up a recurring drain maintenance schedule if your kitchen tends to clog.

Offices, retail spaces and tenant improvements
In offices and retail, the main concerns are restrooms, break room plumbing and water heaters. We repair and replace commercial flush valves, faucets, sensor fixtures and drinking fountains, and we fix leaks before they damage inventory or ceiling tiles. For tenant improvements we install new restrooms, break rooms and utility sinks.
Because work in occupied spaces disrupts customers and employees, we plan noisy or water shutoff work for early mornings, evenings or weekends when that helps. Property managers get clear notes on what we did, what we found and anything that needs attention later, so the next call is easier for everyone.
Multifamily buildings and shared plumbing
Apartments, condos and townhome communities share drain stacks, water heaters and main lines. A clog in a lower unit may start several floors up, and a leak may be in a neighbor's wall. We trace problems to their source rather than just treating symptoms in the unit that called.
We handle unit turnover repairs, shared main line clearing, boiler or water heater room plumbing, shutoff valve replacement and building wide leak investigations. For buildings with aging galvanized or polybutylene supply lines, we can help plan staged replacement so residents aren't without water for long stretches during the work.
Aurora notes
Commercial plumbing across Aurora and the east metro
Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city, spanning parts of Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties, so commercial properties here range from older storefronts along Colfax to newer retail centers and apartment communities in the southeast and northeast. Older buildings often have cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines that need careful repair, while newer ones raise more questions about water heaters, valves and backflow.
Winter hits commercial buildings too. Sudden arctic cold fronts freeze pipes in loading docks, vestibules, unheated mechanical rooms and exterior walls, and fire line or irrigation backflow devices are frequent victims. Aurora Water requires testable backflow assemblies to be tested at least annually, and water heater replacement, gas piping and repiping usually require a permit and inspection in Aurora and nearby cities. We pull the permit when the job calls for one.

- Equipment sizeCommercial water heaters, large diameter drains and big backflow assemblies need heavier equipment and more time than residential work.

- Scope of the problemA single clogged fixture is quick. A shared drain stack or building wide supply issue takes longer to trace and repair.

Questions
Commercial Plumbing questions from Aurora homeowners
Can you do commercial plumbing work after our business closes?
Yes. We answer 24/7, and we can schedule repairs that need water shutoffs or make noise for early mornings, evenings or weekends. Emergencies like backups or major leaks get handled right away, whatever the hour, so your business can reopen as soon as possible.
How often should a restaurant have its kitchen drains cleaned?
It depends on volume, menu and how well grease is managed, but many busy kitchens benefit from scheduled cleaning every few months. Fryer-heavy and high-volume kitchens may need it more often. We can look at your history of backups and suggest an interval that prevents emergencies.
Do you handle plumbing in apartment and condo buildings?
Yes. We work on individual units, shared drain stacks, main lines, water heater rooms and building wide issues. Because shared plumbing can hide the true source of a problem, we trace leaks and clogs across units when needed, and we keep property managers informed throughout.
Do commercial backflow assemblies in Aurora need yearly testing?
Yes. Aurora requires testable backflow prevention assemblies to be tested at least annually, with results reported to Aurora Water. Commercial properties often have more than one, covering domestic water, fire lines and irrigation. We test, repair and file reports for each assembly so the property stays current.
What should we do if a commercial restroom floods during business hours?
Close off the restroom, shut the fixture's supply valve if you can reach it, or the building's main if the water won't stop. Keep people away from wet floors and electrical outlets. Then call us, and tell us the fixture involved so we can bring the right parts.
