Plumbing that keeps your business open

Commercial plumbing is not just bigger residential plumbing. Businesses have heavier use, more fixtures, stricter code and health requirements, and far less tolerance for downtime. A clogged line at home is an inconvenience. At a restaurant, it can shut you down at dinner rush.

Why restaurants and kitchens need special attention

Commercial kitchens are the toughest environment for plumbing. Grease is the constant enemy. It goes down the drain as a liquid, hardens in the line, and causes the backups that shut a kitchen down at the worst time. That is why regular hydro jetting of grease lines is one of the most valuable services we provide to restaurants, keeping the lines clear before they clog rather than after. We also handle grease trap connections, high-demand water heaters, and the fixtures that take heavy daily use.

Backflow and code compliance

Businesses face requirements that homes do not. Backflow prevention assemblies are commonly required on commercial connections, along with annual testing and documentation. We install, test, and repair backflow assemblies and provide the paperwork your water provider requires. See backflow prevention and testing. We keep your plumbing compliant so you are not caught out by an inspection or a lapsed test.

Why fast response matters for your business

Every hour of a plumbing problem at a business is lost revenue and frustrated customers. We prioritize commercial calls and offer 24/7 emergency service, because we know a backed-up line or a water heater failure cannot wait until Monday. When you call, we give you a realistic response time and work to minimize your downtime. See our emergency plumber service.

Local factors for commercial plumbing in Hickory

  • Downtown and older buildings. Commercial buildings in Downtown Hickory and older parts of town may have aging pipe and sewer lines that need care and, sometimes, upgrading.
  • Restaurant density. The local dining scene means a lot of grease-heavy kitchen lines that benefit from regular maintenance.
  • Soft city water. Hickory’s soft city water is easier on commercial water heaters and fixtures than hard-water regions.
  • Growth. As the Catawba Valley grows, new commercial build-outs and remodels need code-compliant plumbing from the start.

Scheduled maintenance for businesses

The best commercial plumbing is the kind you never notice, because problems get caught before they disrupt you. We offer scheduled maintenance to keep your business running:

Planned maintenance costs far less than an emergency shutdown, and it keeps your doors open.

  • Regular hydro jetting of grease lines
  • Drain and sewer maintenance
  • Water heater inspection and service
  • Backflow testing on schedule
  • Leak and fixture checks
  • Priority response for maintenance customers
