Restaurant owners, landlords and property managers work with local plumbers in Troy on our team, from River Street storefronts to multi family houses in Lansingburgh. The goal is to fix it fast, keep the doors open and keep good records for every address.

What Commercial Plumbing Includes

Backflow testing and repair. Yearly tests on RPZ and double check devices, with repairs and paperwork for the water supplier. Failed devices are rebuilt or replaced and retested.
Grease line jetting. Restaurant kitchen lines jetted on a schedule so they do not clog on a busy night. The schedule is set by how much grease your kitchen sends down.
Commercial water heaters. Repair and replacement of large tanks and tankless systems for kitchens, laundries and apartment buildings. Temporary hot water can sometimes be set up while a new heater is on order.
Restroom fixtures. Flush valves, faucets, urinals and toilets kept working in busy restrooms. Sensor faucets and flush valves are repaired or replaced.
Multi unit leak repair. Leaks traced between floors and fixed with the least disruption to tenants. Units are notified and access is planned ahead.
Repiping. Old galvanized pipe replaced in buildings with low pressure and rusty water. Work can be phased by stack or by floor so tenants keep water.
Code fixes for inspections. Items flagged by inspectors, insurers or buyers fixed and documented. Missing shutoffs, bad venting and leaking traps are common items.
After hours work. Repairs before opening, after closing or on weekends, so a restaurant does not lose a dinner shift.

Why Commercial Plumbing Matters in Troy

Mixed use buildings downtown. Shops at street level with flats upstairs are common downtown, so one leak can hit a business and several tenants at once.
Restaurants on River Street and Broadway. Busy kitchens put heavy grease loads on old drain lines.
A city of renters. About 69% of Troy homes are rentals, according to NeighborhoodScout, and many are in two and three family houses. Nearly half of all units sit in duplexes or homes split into apartments.
Old buildings. Converted homes and older commercial blocks carry galvanized supply pipe and cast iron drains that need regular attention. Many were not planned for the number of bathrooms and kitchens they now hold.
Student housing. Rentals near RPI and Russell Sage College turn over every year, with heavy use in between.
Shared water heaters and mains. Many small buildings run several units off one water heater and one main, so a single failure affects everyone.
Winter risk in vacant units. Empty storefronts and apartments can freeze when the heat is turned down, and nobody notices until water shows up below.

How Commercial Service Works, Step by Step

Call or send a service request. Tell us the address, the problem and the best times. Photos help the plumber bring the right parts.
Schedule around your hours. Before opening, after closing or during slow times.
Diagnose and quote. A clear written price before work starts.
Fix with minimal downtime. The plumber plans shutoffs so tenants and customers are affected as little as possible. Water is shut off in sections where valves allow it.
Paperwork for owners and inspectors. Invoices, test reports and photos for your records.
A maintenance schedule if you want one. Jetting, backflow tests and water heater checks on a calendar.

Most service calls are handled in one visit. Larger jobs, like a building repipe or a new commercial water heater, get a set start date and a plan for tenants.
