Commercial Plumbing in Langley, BC

Plumbing repairs, drains, backflow testing and gas fitting for Langley businesses, stratas and property managers.

When a restaurant drain backs up at lunch, or water comes through a ceiling in a strata building, the pipe is only part of the problem. The rest is lost sales, unhappy tenants and a lot of phone calls.

Red Seal certified, Technical Safety BC licensed and fully insured. Available 24/7.

Before we start, we tell you what's wrong, what it costs to fix and what can safely wait.

Who We Work With

Commercial plumbing isn't one kind of building. A restaurant kitchen, a forty-unit strata and a warehouse washroom all fail in different ways, and each one has different people to answer to.

These are the properties we work on most across Langley:

✓ Restaurants, cafes and commercial kitchens

✓ Stratas, townhouse complexes and multi-family buildings

✓ Retail units and plazas

✓ Offices and professional spaces

✓ Industrial and warehouse units

If you manage the property rather than own it, we work through you: written quotes before work starts, access arranged with your tenants, and a plain-language summary when the job's done, if you need one.

How a Commercial Job Works

How It Works

Most commercial problems don't fit neatly into business hours or a single visit. Here's what to expect from the first call to sign-off.

1) Call or Request a Quote

Tell us about the building and the problem. Photos help. If it's urgent, call and we'll come out now.

2) Site Visit

We look at the problem in person, check access and shut-offs, and talk to whoever runs the space.

3) Written Quote

You get a written quote before any work starts, with what needs doing now and what can wait.

5) Work Around Your Hours

Scheduled work can be booked outside your business hours (after-hours rates apply), so you're not closing early to let us in.

4) Permits

If the job needs a City or Township permit, we tell you up front and handle it as part of the work.

6) Sign-Off & Summary

When the work's done, you can ask for a plain-language summary to pass to owners, council or head office.

Restaurants: The Grease Interceptor Rule

Metro Vancouver's Food Sector Grease Interceptor Bylaw 365 applies to commercial kitchens in Langley, including restaurants, cafes, bakeries and grocery stores. It requires:

  • A correctly sized grease interceptor

  • Connected to all the fixtures the bylaw lists

  • Pumped out every 90 days, or sooner once grease and solids pass 25% of the liquid depth

  • Pump-outs done by a service provider, usually a vacuum truck service

  • Records of every cleanout, kept for inspectors

Where a plumber comes in is the interceptor itself and the piping around it. We install, repair and replace grease interceptors, clear grease-blocked kitchen lines with hydro jetting, and fix fixtures that aren't connected the way the bylaw requires.

Your hours, not ours

Built around your business hours

Commercial work has a constraint residential work doesn't: your doors are open. Urgent problems get handled whenever they happen. Scheduled work like fixture replacement or drain maintenance can be booked before you open or after you close, at after-hours rates.

Permits & compliance

Does commercial plumbing work need a permit in Langley?

Often, yes.

Commercial plumbing and gas work in Langley often needs a permit from the City of Langley or the Township of Langley, depending on where the property is. Gas work must be done under permit by a Technical Safety BC licensed gas fitter.

We tell you up front whether your job needs a permit and handle it as part of the work, so the job is legal, insured and signed off.

Commercial plumbing sits alongside our full range of Langley plumbing services, from emergency plumbing to hot water tanks.

Commercial Gas Work: Class A vs. Class B

  • Class B gas fitter - certified up to 120 kW (about 400,000 BTU).

    Covers virtually all residential and light-commercial work.

  • Class A gas fitter - unrestricted certification for gas systems of any size.

Our gas fitters hold a Class B licence, so we work on commercial gas appliances within Class B limits, like commercial ranges, fryers, ovens, water heaters and boilers. Rooftop units and larger equipment need a Class A gas fitter, and we'll tell you before we quote if yours is outside our range. We also do residential gas fitting for homes across Langley.

What Does Commercial Plumbing Cost in Langley?

Every building is different, so we quote the job rather than guess at it. The main things that move the price:

  • Access, and whether work has to happen outside business hours

  • How many fixtures, devices or units are involved

  • The condition of the existing piping

  • Permits and inspections

  • Parts and equipment

Commercial plumbing questions, answered

Do you do commercial plumbing in Langley?

Yes. We work on restaurants, retail units, offices, industrial units and stratas across Langley City and the Township of Langley, along with homes.

Can you work after hours so we don't have to close?

Urgent work gets done whenever it happens, 24/7. Scheduled work can be booked before you open or after you close, at after-hours rates. Tell us your hours when you book.

Do you clean grease traps?

We don't pump grease interceptors. Under Metro Vancouver's bylaw that's done by a vacuum truck service. We install, repair and replace interceptors, clear and jet grease-blocked kitchen lines and fix the plumbing around the interceptor.

How often does a commercial backflow preventer need testing?

Every year, plus at installation and after any repair or relocation. Some high-hazard commercial applications are tested more often.

Do you work with property managers and strata councils?

Yes. We quote in writing before starting, arrange access through you, and can test every backflow device on a property in one visit. We already handle yearly drain cleaning and backflow testing for property managers.

Are you licensed for commercial gas work?

Yes. Our gas fitters are Technical Safety BC licensed and gas work is done under permit. We hold a Class B ticket, which covers appliances up to 399,000 BTU, including commercial ranges, fryers, ovens, water heaters and boilers. Rooftop units are usually larger than that, so we don't take those on. If you're not sure where your equipment falls, we'll check before we quote.
