Business plumbing problems cost more than the repair, because a closed restroom or a kitchen without drains stops work. Our line is open 24/7 and we book same-day appointments when available.
If a floor drain is backing up or a pipe is leaking, stop using the affected fixtures, shut off the nearest valve and keep customers and staff away from standing water. Call us and tell us the type of business.
Urgent situationsCommon commercial plumbing calls
Backed-up restrooms
Multiple fixtures slowing at once can mean a main line problem. See sewer line cleaning.
Kitchen drains and grease
Restaurants and food service sites build up grease that clogs lines. Hydro jetting cleans the pipe wall.
Water heater failure
A business with a failed heater may not be able to open. See water heater repair.
Leaks and burst pipes
A burst line in a tenant space can damage neighboring units. See burst pipe repair.
Grease traps and interceptors
Food service sites usually have a grease trap or interceptor, and it needs regular pumping and cleaning to work. A full trap lets grease reach the sewer line and cause backups. We inspect the trap, explain what we see and work with your pumping service on the schedule.
Local rules for grease control vary. Ask the City of Champlin Utilities Department what applies to your business, and keep a log of cleaning dates for any inspection.
BackflowBackflow prevention and testing
Backflow preventers on irrigation systems, fire lines and some commercial equipment protect the public water supply from contamination. Many require periodic testing by a certified tester. We tell you which of your devices need testing and help you keep the records current.
Requirements depend on the device and the property, so confirm with the authority that applies to you. Our plumbing installation page covers adding protection to new fixtures.
Storm drainsStorm drains, roof drains and floor drains
Flat roofs and parking areas rely on drains that clog with leaves, silt and trash. A blocked roof drain can pond water and strain the roof. We clear and camera-check storm lines, and we tell you if a drain is cracked or undersized.

LicensingHiring a licensed plumbing contractor for a business
According to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, you can look up a plumbing contractor's license online. For a commercial property, check that the contractor holds the right license, carries insurance and can pull permits when the work requires them. A landlord and a tenant should agree on who authorizes the work.
Ask the Champlin building inspections division what applies to your project. The city lists the 2020 Minnesota State Plumbing Code on its building codes page, and the division's phone number is 763-421-2629.
