Your Kitchen Runs on Plumbing That Residential Plumbers Don't Touch.

Commercial kitchens operate under a set of compliance obligations that residential plumbing shops aren't equipped to handle — FOG pretreatment programs, fire marshal gas line requirements, health department inspections, and backflow mandates that carry fines if they lapse.

We've been the plumbing contractor for commercial kitchens since 1997. We handle the grease traps, the gas connections, the floor drains, and the emergency calls — and we deliver the documentation the health department, your landlord, and your sewer authority expect to see on file.

One contractor. Every plumbing system in your kitchen. Scheduled around your hours, not ours.

29 Years Keeping Commercial Kitchens Running.

3,600+ Drain & Sewer Work Orders

Kitchen floor drains, mainlines, and grease-related blockages are our highest-volume service category. We clear them, camera them, and document what we find.

FOG Compliance Programs Since 1997

Recurring grease trap service with state manifests on every visit. We track your schedule, coordinate the service, and keep your compliance file current.

24/7 Emergency Response

Grease backups, gas leaks, and flooding don't wait for business hours. We dispatch with a 2-hour P1 response target — because every hour your kitchen is down is revenue you don't get back.

Every Plumbing System in Your Kitchen. One Contractor.

Restaurants touch more plumbing service lines than almost any other commercial operation. Instead of calling three vendors for three problems, you call one.

Licensed pumping, cleaning, inspection, and state manifest documentation. Recurring programs built around your kitchen's output and your local FOG compliance schedule.

Emergency Response

Grease backups, gas leaks, flooding, and sewer failures — 24/7 dispatch with a 2-hour P1 response target. We respond around your hours because kitchen downtime costs more than the service call.

24/7 Dispatch 2-Hour Response After-Hours

Every Type of Commercial Kitchen Operation.

  1. Restaurants & Full Service Dining

    High-volume kitchens with continuous grease discharge, multiple gas appliances, and floor drains that take a beating every shift. We build service programs around your output, not a generic schedule.

  2. Fast Casual, QSR & Multi-Location Groups

    Consistent plumbing across every location. One vendor, one rate sheet, consolidated invoicing. We manage grease trap schedules independently for each site and deliver one report to your operations team.

  3. Hotels & Banquet Operations

    Multiple kitchen zones, seasonal volume swings, and grease traps that serve different areas of the property. We coordinate across all zones and adjust frequency when kitchen output changes.

  4. Food Halls, Bakeries & Catering Facilities

    Shared kitchen infrastructure, multiple tenants on a single sewer lateral, and under-sink traps that need independent service schedules. We manage each device separately and deliver consolidated documentation.

The Paperwork Your Kitchen Needs on File.

What Your Sewer Authority Requires

California's FOG pretreatment program places the compliance burden on the kitchen operator. Here's what inspectors expect to see when they walk in.

  • Grease trap maintenance records with state manifests proving licensed waste hauling to an approved facility. An undocumented service is treated the same as no service at all.
  • Cleaning frequency tied to your trap's capacity — the standard is service before the trap reaches 25% of total capacity with grease and solids.
  • Backflow test reports filed annually with your local water authority. Lapsed certifications can result in water service suspension.
  • Gas line permits and pressure test documentation for any new equipment connections or modifications — required by the fire marshal and building department.

What We Deliver After Every Service

Every visit to your kitchen generates documentation you can file, show to an inspector, or forward to your landlord.

State Manifests

Grease waste manifests issued same day. Proof of licensed hauling and legal disposal at an approved facility — the document your sewer authority requires.

Service Reports

Written field reports with condition findings, work performed, and recommendations. Before/after documentation on every job.

Backflow Certificates

Test results filed with the county and a copy for your records. We track your renewal date and contact you before the deadline.

Permit Documentation

For gas line work, water heater replacement, and any scope that requires a building permit — we pull it, schedule the inspection, and close it out.

Kitchen Down? We Respond Same Day.

Grease backup during service, gas smell near the line, drain flooding the kitchen floor — every hour of downtime is lost revenue. We dispatch with a 2-hour emergency response target.

The Contractor Kitchen Operators Keep on Speed Dial.

"We manage eight restaurant locations across Orange County, all on different grease trap schedules. California Coast Plumbers consolidated everything into one program. One call, one invoice, and every location has a current manifest on file. The health department has never once flagged a grease trap issue since we switched."

Marco R.

Operations Director — Restaurant Group, Orange County

"We had a grease backup on a Saturday night before a full house. Called California Coast Plumbers at 7 PM and they were on-site by 9. Cleared the line, pumped the trap, left us with a manifest. We opened Sunday morning like nothing happened. That's the contractor you keep on speed dial."

Lisa T.

General Manager — Full Service Restaurant, Irvine

"When we opened our second location, we needed gas lines run for the entire kitchen — range, fryer bank, oven, water heater. CCP handled the permit, ran the lines, coordinated with our GC, and passed inspection on the first attempt. Now they handle the grease traps and drain maintenance at both locations."

David K.

Owner — Two-Location Restaurant Concept, LA County
