Restaurants depend on plumbing more than almost any other business. The dish area needs reliable hot water. Prep sinks, hand sinks and floor drains need to drain freely. Grease traps need regular service. Customer restrooms must work every time. When any of these fail, you may have to stop service, and the cost goes far beyond the repair. Fullerton Plumbing provides restaurant plumbing across New York, from emergency calls during a Friday dinner rush to scheduled maintenance after closing.
We handle kitchen drain cleaning and jetting, grease trap and interceptor service, commercial water heater repair and replacement, sink and faucet repair, restroom fixture repair, leaks and frozen pipes. We understand that a restaurant kitchen is not a place to make a mess, so we protect work areas and clean up thoroughly. For recurring problems, we use a sewer camera to find the cause and recommend a maintenance schedule. You get an upfront quote before work starts, and we work around your service hours whenever possible.

Restaurant Plumbing in New York's Older Buildings
Many New York restaurants operate in buildings that were never designed for commercial kitchens. In Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, as well as downtown Albany, Troy, Saratoga Springs, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo, restaurants often sit in older mixed use buildings with original cast iron drains that have been extended and modified over decades. Grease buildup is fast in those rough, aging lines. Upstate winters bring frozen pipes in back storage areas and exterior walls, and cold basements harden grease faster. High volume dish areas also demand more hot water than many older systems were sized for.
If your restaurant has a plumbing problem, call Fullerton at (518) 776-7838. We answer 24/7 from our Albany base and serve restaurants across New York State. We will get you back in service fast, give you an upfront quote, and help you plan maintenance that keeps your kitchen running through every busy weekend and holiday season. When the work is done, we clean up so your kitchen is ready for the next service.
Pricing
What Affects the Cost of Restaurant Plumbing
Restaurant plumbing cost depends on what failed and how it affects your kitchen. Clearing a floor drain is different from jetting a grease packed main line or replacing a commercial water heater. Grease trap size and condition matter. Working in tight kitchens, basements or around equipment adds time. After hours scheduling to avoid closing can factor in. Regular maintenance often reduces emergency costs. We give you an upfront quote before work starts.

Keep grease out of sinks, use drain screens, scrape plates into the trash, and keep your grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule. Periodic hydro jetting of kitchen lines removes buildup before it causes a backup. We can recommend a schedule based on your volume.
Common causes include a water heater that is undersized for your dish area demand, sediment buildup, a failing component, or several high demand fixtures running at once. We assess your usage and equipment and recommend repair, adjustment or an upgrade.
Yes. We can pump and clean your grease trap and jet the kitchen lines in the same visit. Combining services saves time and often solves recurring slow drains for good. We schedule it before opening or after closing, so your kitchen never has to stop.
Yes. We schedule non emergency work after closing, early morning or overnight so your kitchen and dining room are not disrupted. We clean up before your staff arrives so you can open on time, with the kitchen ready for prep.
The most common are grease clogged kitchen drains, full grease traps, floor drain backups, hot water shortages in the dish area, leaking sinks and faucets, and clogged restroom toilets. Most of them are preventable with regular maintenance and good kitchen habits.
