Commercial plumbing serves the businesses that a plumbing failure hits hardest: restaurants that cannot serve without working drains and hot water, retail and offices that cannot open without functioning restrooms, and any tenant improvement that needs plumbing built out. The scale, the code requirements, and the urgency are all different from residential work.
Arvada has a busy commercial core, from the Olde Town district revitalized around the RTD rail line to the corridors along Wadsworth and the newer west-side centers. We handle the recurring service, the emergency repairs, and the build-outs that keep those businesses operating, with an eye on getting you back open fast.
Restaurants, grease traps and commercial kitchens
Food service is the most plumbing-intensive commercial category. Commercial kitchens generate grease that has to be captured by a grease interceptor before it reaches the sewer, both to meet code and to keep the line from clogging. A grease trap that is undersized, neglected, or failing sends grease into the lateral and backs up the kitchen at the worst possible time.
We service and install grease interceptors, keep commercial drain lines clear with jetting, and handle the high-demand water heating a kitchen needs. For a restaurant, a backed-up kitchen drain during service is an emergency, and we treat it as one.
| Business type | Common needs |
|---|---|
| Restaurant, cafe | Grease traps, drain jetting, high-demand water heating |
| Retail, office | Restroom service, water heaters, tenant improvements |
| Salon, medical | Fixture installs, backflow, code compliance |
| Multi-tenant | Shared line service, backflow testing, emergency repair |
Tenant improvements, backflow and keeping code
When a space changes hands or a business builds out, the plumbing has to be reworked to fit the new use and brought to current commercial code. That tenant improvement work, adding restrooms, moving fixtures, running lines for new equipment, has to be permitted and inspected, and it has to be done on a schedule that lets the business open on time.
Commercial properties also carry backflow prevention on irrigation, boilers and equipment that requires certified annual testing. We handle the build-out, the testing, and the ongoing service as one relationship, so a business owner has a single plumber who knows the building rather than a new face every call.
Olde Town, older buildings, modern demands
Much of Arvada's commercial character sits in Olde Town, where older buildings now house restaurants, shops and offices around the G Line station. Those buildings often have aging plumbing that was never sized for a modern commercial kitchen or a full-capacity restroom, so a new tenant frequently needs upgrades to the supply, drainage and water heating before opening.
We know that older-building-meets-new-use pattern well. Rather than being surprised by undersized lines or dated fixtures mid-build, we assess the existing plumbing against the intended use up front, so the tenant improvement is planned around what the building actually has.

How much does commercial plumbing cost in Arvada?
It varies widely by the work, from a routine grease-trap service or drain jetting to a full tenant-improvement build-out. We scope and quote to the specific job and building, with ranges, and can set up recurring service for businesses that need regular maintenance.
Do you offer ongoing service contracts for businesses?
