ASC Plumbing is a plumber in Salinas for homes and businesses. Our commercial plumbing service covers shops, offices, restaurants and multi-unit buildings across the Monterey Bay Area. The jobs match the work we do in homes: repairs, drains, water heaters, fixtures and repipes. A commercial building just puts more people and more hours on its pipes.
Landlords and property managers call us about the units they look after. Business owners call when a restroom or a kitchen drain stops working. Either way, we look at the job and put the quote in writing before the work starts. The quote spells out what is included, so you can plan around it.

Commercial plumbing problems are mostly the same ones a house gets, with more people behind them. A kitchen sink backs up during the lunch rush. A water heater quits, and the restroom sinks run cold. We find the cause and make the repair.
Restaurants send grease down their drains every day. The City of Salinas advises restaurants to install a grease trap or interceptor sized to their grease output. It also advises regular cleaning by an approved grease removal company, with a record of each visit. When a kitchen line backs up anyway, our drain cleaning service clears it.
The fixtures are the first difference. Many commercial toilets and urinals use a flush valve in place of a tank. Some toilets hang from a carrier frame inside the wall. Each fixture also gets far more use than one at home, so parts wear out sooner.
State law reaches the fixtures too. California's Civil Code required high-flow fixtures in commercial and multifamily buildings to be replaced by January 1, 2019. It counts a toilet over 1.6 gallons per flush as noncompliant, and a urinal over 1 gallon. Showerheads over 2.5 gallons a minute and indoor faucets over 2.2 gallons a minute count too.
Permits follow the size of the job. In Salinas, a like-for-like commercial water heater changeout is one of the city's simple plumbing permits. A tenant build-out needs a full building permit and may owe a one-time sewer fee to Monterey One Water. Outside Salinas, the city or county building office answers what a job needs.
Rentals make up a large share of the housing in Salinas. By Census Bureau estimates, more than half of the city's occupied homes are rented. About one home in three sits in a building with two or more units.
Plumbing in a multi-unit building is shared. A clog in a shared drain line backs up at the lowest drain first, often in a ground-floor unit. A leak upstairs can show up as a stain on the ceiling below. A shutoff valve for each unit lets you turn off water to one apartment at a time.
Section 1941.1 of California's Civil Code lists working plumbing and hot and cold running water among a rental's basics. When a unit loses hot water or a fixture stops working, call or text (831) 262-9943. We find the cause and put any larger repair in a written quote.
