Shop and Commercial Plumbing Springvale

Plumbing that keeps the doors open

Springvale's shopping strips along Springvale Road, Buckingham Avenue and around the station are full of restaurants, grocers, bakeries, butchers, pharmacies, clinics and offices. Each depends on water, drains and often gas. When a kitchen drain blocks during dinner service or the hot water fails in a clinic, the business stops. We respond quickly and plan maintenance so breakdowns are rare.

What we do

• blocked drains and kitchen lines cleared with jetters
• grease arrestor installation, maintenance and trade waste compliance
• commercial hot water, including manifolded continuous-flow units
• gas fitting for commercial cooking equipment
• backflow prevention device installation and annual testing
• staff amenities, toilets, urinals and hand basins
• leak detection and pipe repairs
• shop fit-out plumbing and gas

Fit-outs

New tenancies and refurbishments need plumbing designed for the business. A restaurant needs floor wastes, a grease arrestor, hand basins, dishwasher connections and gas sized for the cooking line. A clinic needs hand basins in every consulting room. We work from your plans, liaise with the landlord, builder and water corporation, and complete the work on time.

Maintenance

Regular checks catch problems early: jetting kitchen lines, checking arrestor condition, testing backflow devices, servicing hot water and inspecting toilets and taps. We can set up a schedule and send reminders.

After hours

We can work early mornings, late evenings and on closed days so customers and staff are not disrupted.

Landlords and agents

We look after multi-tenancy buildings and shopping strips, coordinating with tenants and providing reports and invoices for owners.

Compliance

Commercial plumbing must comply with the Plumbing Regulations, trade waste agreements with the water corporation and, for food businesses, council health requirements. We provide compliance certificates and backflow test reports for your records.

Clinics and medical practices

Springvale has many GP clinics, dental practices, pharmacies and allied health businesses. They need hand basins that work in every room, reliable hot water, correct backflow protection and amenities that meet accessibility standards. We maintain these systems and carry out alterations when rooms are reconfigured or new equipment arrives.

Grocers and butchers

Supermarkets, grocers and butchers need floor wastes that drain quickly, hot water for cleaning and, in many cases, trade waste arrangements. We keep those systems working and plan upgrades around trading.

Hot water for businesses

Commercial kitchens, hairdressers and clinics use far more hot water than homes. We size and install commercial storage systems and banks of continuous-flow units connected together, so one unit failing does not leave you without hot water. We also service them on a schedule to avoid breakdowns during busy periods.

Accessible amenities

New and refurbished premises often need accessible toilets with correct fixture heights, grab rails and circulation space. We install fixtures to the required setout. We can also supply as-built notes for the landlord and building surveyor once the work is finished, which keeps your lease and occupancy paperwork simple.

Springvale ground and pipes

Springvale sits on a mix of sandy loam and heavier clay, and much of the suburb was built in the 1950s and 1960s with earthenware sewer pipes and galvanised or early copper water pipe. Clay joints shift over time and let roots in, rusting galvanised pipe slowly narrows and leaks, and drains under subdivided blocks are often shared between homes. We use drain cameras, locators and pressure tests to see exactly what is going on before anyone digs.
