Plumbing for offices and retail units

• Toilets and urinals running constantly because a flush valve diaphragm has worn
• Sensor faucets that will not shut off or deliver only a trickle
• Lunchroom sinks plugged by coffee grounds and leftovers
• Brown rings on ceiling tiles below a washroom or lunchroom
• Cold hand sinks after a small under-counter heater quits
• Dry floor-drain traps letting sewer smell drift into the unit

1. We confirm the unit, the access route and who holds the keys to the service room
2. The smallest section of the system is isolated so neighbours keep water
3. Worn parts are replaced with commercial-grade parts suited to heavy use
4. Fixtures are cycled and tested, and ceiling or wall openings are noted for the landlord
5. You get a short written summary for your property or facilities file

When a unit changes hands, the plumbing often has to move. We rough in new washroom groups, kitchenette sinks, mop sinks and hand sinks, tie into existing stacks where the layout allows, and coordinate with the general contractor. If the Town of Whitby requires a permit for the layout, you hear about it when we quote.

• Accessible washroom fixture heights and lever controls
• Mop sinks and floor drains with trap primers where required
• Shut-off valves at every new fixture for easier servicing later

• Top up seldom-used floor drains with a bucket of water monthly
• Report a running urinal or toilet early, before it wastes days of water
• Know where the unit shut-off is and keep it accessible
