Who calls us for commercial work
- Restaurants, takeouts and cafés along Harwood, Kingston Road and Westney with grease-loaded kitchen drains.
- Plaza tenants: salons, clinics and retail units with a single washroom and a shared main.
- Small offices and light industrial units in the Ajax business parks.
- Condominium boards and multi-unit landlords dealing with stacks, risers and shared shut-offs.
- Property managers who want one plumber they can call for several buildings.
What changes on a commercial job
The pipes are the same materials, but the stakes and the paperwork change. A single kitchen line may carry fat from three fryers. A plaza often runs several units onto one building drain, so a clog in one unit floods the one next door. And many properties carry a backflow preventer that needs regular testing and a report.
- We confirm who can authorize the work: tenant, owner or manager.
- We book a time that keeps you trading: before opening, after close or on a quiet afternoon.
- We isolate only the fixtures we must, so the rest of the building keeps water.
- You get a short written note of what was found, what was done and what to watch.
Local tip Durham Region sets rules for what businesses may discharge to the sanitary sewer, including fats, oils and grease. Check the Region's current sewer use by-law for your property type.
