Office and Retail Plumbing in Toronto

What wears out first in a commercial washroom

Commercial fixtures are built tougher, but the use is relentless. Flush valves, sensor faucets and urinal traps all have small parts that fail with time, and a single running fixture can waste a surprising amount of water on a monthly bill.

• Flushometers: worn diaphragms cause weak flushes or toilets that never stop running.
• Sensor faucets: dead batteries, clogged aerators and failing solenoids.
• Urinals: scale builds up in the trap and the drain line, causing odours and slow draining.
• Kitchenettes: coffee grounds and food scraps in a small drain line.

Signs you need a plumber

• Water marks on ceiling tiles below a washroom
• A toilet that runs for long periods after each flush
• A sewer smell in the hallway near the restrooms
• Taps that drip even when the sensor is idle
• The same toilet clogging again and again

How we work in an occupied space

1. Agree a time that suits your staff and customers
2. Shut off only the fixture or branch we need
3. Keep the work area taped off and clean
4. Test every fixture we touched before we leave
5. Leave notes you can forward to the landlord or head office

Retail units and landlord responsibilities

In many leased units the tenant handles fixtures inside the space while the landlord covers the main drain and the water service. Your lease decides that, not us. We write up what failed and where, so the right party can be billed and nobody argues over the invoice later.
