Common Plumbing Issues Facing Spokane Restaurants

Restaurant plumbing systems operate under immense pressure due to high-volume usage, constant food waste, and the presence of fats, oils, and grease (FOG). Here are the most common plumbing problems we tackle for Spokane’s thriving culinary scene:

1. Grease Trap Clogs & Malfunctions

  • The Problem: Grease traps are critical for preventing FOG from entering and solidifying in your main sewer lines. However, they frequently clog if not properly maintained, leading to slow drains, backups, and foul odors. These can quickly lead to health code violations and operational shutdowns.
  • Shaw Plumbing’s Solution: We offer expert grease trap cleaning, repair, and even installation. Our technicians ensure your trap is functioning optimally and compliant with Spokane County Utilities regulations.

2. Commercial Drain Clogs

  • The Problem: Kitchen sinks, dishwashers, floor drains, and bar drains are constantly bombarded with food scraps, coffee grounds, and soap scum, leading to stubborn blockages.
  • Shaw Plumbing’s Solution: We utilize powerful commercial-grade drain cleaning techniques, including hydro-jetting, to thoroughly clear accumulated grease, food debris, and other challenging blockages, restoring full drainage capacity.

3. Commercial Water Heater Issues

  • The Problem: Restaurants require a consistent supply of hot water for cooking, cleaning, and sanitization. Malfunctions like insufficient hot water, discolored water, or complete failure can halt operations.
  • Shaw Plumbing’s Solution: Our experts repair all types of commercial water heaters, from tankless to traditional, ensuring your establishment always has ample hot water to meet demand and health standards.

4. Leaking Faucets & Pipes

  • The Problem: Even minor leaks in commercial kitchens or restrooms can waste significant amounts of water, increase utility bills, and create hazardous slip-and-fall conditions. Hidden leaks can also lead to mold and structural damage.
  • Shaw Plumbing’s Solution: We quickly diagnose and repair leaks in commercial fixtures and pipes, using durable, high-quality parts to ensure long-lasting solutions that comply with commercial plumbing codes.

5. Restroom Plumbing Problems

  • The Problem: High-traffic restrooms often suffer from clogged toilets, continuously running toilets, and overflowing sinks, frustrating customers and potentially damaging your restaurant’s reputation.
  • Shaw Plumbing’s Solution: We provide prompt, discreet, and effective repairs for all commercial restroom plumbing, minimizing disruption to your patrons.

6. Sewer Line Backups

  • The Problem: Foul odors, multiple slow-draining fixtures, or water backing up in unexpected places can signal a severe blockage in your main sewer line, requiring immediate attention.
  • Shaw Plumbing’s Solution: We offer comprehensive sewer line inspection (including video camera inspections), clearing, and repair services to address complex sewer line issues that can devastate a business.
