Services
Backflow Testing
Our certified technicians perform comprehensive backflow testing and certification to ensure safe water systems. We use state-approved equipment to identify cross-connection risks and maintain compliance with municipal regulations. Regular testing prevents contaminated water from entering potable water supplies, protecting both public health and facility infrastructure.
Hydro-Jet Cleaning
We employ advanced hydro-jet technology to clear stubborn pipe blockages and buildup. Our high-pressure water systems remove grease, mineral deposits, and debris from sewer lines and industrial piping. This non-invasive method restores optimal flow rates while minimizing pipe wear, ideal for commercial kitchens, manufacturing facilities, and municipal infrastructure.
Draft Beverage Systems
Our specialists maintain and install commercial draft beverage systems for restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. We service CO2 regulators, glycol cooling systems, and beer lines to ensure proper dispensing temperature and pressure. Regular maintenance prevents costly downtime and maintains beverage quality standards for retail and hospitality clients.
24/7 Emergency Repair
We provide rapid-response plumbing services for urgent situations like burst pipes and system failures. Our fleet of 30+ equipped service vehicles reaches clients within two hours across Greater Houston. Technicians handle commercial-scale emergencies while minimizing operational disruption through after-hours scheduling and temporary solutions.
ADA Compliance Services
We help businesses meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements through plumbing fixture installations and modifications. Our team handles sink height adjustments, automatic faucet installations, and accessible restroom layouts while maintaining code compliance. These upgrades ensure equal access for customers and employees while avoiding potential legal issues.
