Hospitality
Iron Springs Public House
Plumbing for a working public house, where the kitchen drainage and the hot water are the business. Henry’s House of Coffee is in the portfolio for the same reason.

The building cannot close for the repair.
Restaurants, retail, healthcare, multi-tenant offices, schools and property managers, with the permits, inspections and scheduling the work has to fit around.
Permits, inspections, and a building still open.
Commercial plumbing in San Francisco is a compliance exercise as much as a trade one. Most installations, repairs and upgrades need permits and inspections through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, and all of it has to meet the California Plumbing Code. Low-flow fixture requirements and seismic retrofitting of piping systems both keep moving, and a project that misses one loses weeks.
We have worked buildings from SoMa and the Financial District to Mission Bay and North Beach, for property managers, business owners and developers. That includes the parts of the job that are specific to a use: grease traps in commercial kitchens, ADA-compliant restrooms in public spaces, large-capacity and tankless water heaters where hot water is a health requirement rather than a comfort.
Our hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm, and we plan the work around how the building trades where we can. We provide the documentation your inspections need.
The work
What we take on
Commercial water heaters
Tankless and large storage systems, sized on capacity and efficiency, with rebate and incentive guidance.
Grease traps and kitchen drainage
Installation and service for restaurants and food service, where the drain line is the operating risk.
ADA-compliant restrooms
Fixture heights, clearances and controls that meet the requirement rather than approximate it.
Gas line service
Inspection, repair and installation for commercial ovens, boilers and heating equipment.
Drain and sewer service
Camera diagnosis and hydro jetting on commercial lines, planned around when the building is quiet.
Repiping and water lines
Supply lines replaced in occupied buildings, staged so tenants keep water.
Seismic retrofitting of piping
Bracing and connections brought up to current requirements for the building’s plumbing systems.
Permits and documentation
San Francisco Department of Building Inspection permits, California Plumbing Code compliance, inspection paperwork.
Planned preventative maintenance
Scheduled inspection of drains, gas lines and hot water so failures land on your calendar rather than mid-service.
New construction and remodel
Tenant improvements and build-outs, coordinated with your general contractor and the inspector.
Questions
What clients ask first
Our hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm. We plan the work around your trading hours where the job allows, and we tell you upfront when it does not.
Yes. Most commercial plumbing work in San Francisco needs a permit through the Department of Building Inspection and has to meet the California Plumbing Code. We pull the permits and provide the documentation for the inspection.
Yes, along with the rest of a commercial kitchen’s drainage. A blocked grease trap closes a kitchen, which is why it is worth servicing on a schedule rather than on a call.
Restaurants and hospitality, retail and shopping centers, healthcare and medical offices, multi-tenant offices and coworking, schools and universities, property management and HOAs, and warehouse and industrial facilities.
Yes. We handle new construction and remodel plumbing, working to the drawings alongside your general contractor. Our construction pages set out how that side of the firm works.
