Commercial Plumbing & Mechanical
Restaurant and commercial kitchen plumbing.
Mechora provides specialized commercial plumbing for restaurants, cafés, food courts and commercial kitchens — grease management, drain maintenance, backflow testing and equipment connections across the GTA and Southern Ontario.
Industry Overview
The most demanding plumbing environment in commercial property.
Restaurants and commercial kitchens have among the most demanding plumbing requirements of any commercial property type. High-volume grease discharge from cooking operations makes drain maintenance a frequent necessity — grease accumulation in drain lines and grease traps is the leading cause of restaurant plumbing failures and health code violations in Ontario food service establishments.
Health department and municipal compliance adds a regulatory dimension that residential or general commercial plumbing does not require. Backflow prevention must be tested and documented annually. Grease interceptors must be serviced on schedule, with records kept for municipal inspection. All plumbing work must meet commercial standards under the Ontario Plumbing Code.
A drain failure during a dinner service is not a scheduled maintenance event — it is a business emergency. Mechora Group's commercial division understands the operational urgency of restaurant plumbing and provides responsive service across the GTA and Southern Ontario. We are licensed and insured for all commercial plumbing work in Ontario.
Services
Commercial plumbing services for restaurants.
Commercial Drain Cleaning
Kitchen drain lines accumulate grease, food solids, and scale. Scheduled drain cleaning — typically twice a year or more for high-volume kitchens — prevents the accumulation that leads to costly emergency blockages.
Drain Cleaning ServiceGrease Trap & Interceptor Service
Grease trap cleaning, maintenance, and documentation. Proper sizing, service frequency, and record-keeping for municipal compliance. We service both in-sink traps and exterior grease interceptors.
Restaurant Kitchen PlumbingBackflow Prevention Testing
Annual backflow preventer testing and certification — required for commercial food service in most Ontario municipalities. We provide the documented test record for your health department or municipal file.
Backflow PreventionEquipment Connections
Commercial dishwasher connections, prep sink plumbing, ice machine water lines, and equipment drain connections. New installs and replacements, permitted where required.
Commercial InstallationsFloor Drain Maintenance
Kitchen floor drains accumulate grease and debris. Regular cleaning and inspection keeps them flowing and prevents the backflow issues that create health and sanitation hazards in food preparation areas.

Hot water for commercial dishwasher compliance requires adequate capacity and temperature. We supply and install commercial water heaters — tank and tankless — sized for restaurant demand.

Maintenance ProgramsCompliance & Requirements
What restaurant plumbing compliance requires in Ontario.
Grease Management
Grease interceptors are required for commercial kitchens in virtually all Ontario municipalities. Sizing must comply with the Ontario Plumbing Code and municipal sewer-use bylaws. Service frequency and documentation are often specified in bylaw. Inadequate grease management leads to drain blockages, surcharges, and enforcement action.
Backflow Prevention
Commercial food service premises are classified as high-hazard water connections in Ontario, requiring a reduced-pressure (RP) backflow preventer on the water supply. These devices must be tested annually by a licensed tester, with results filed with the municipality. Missing or untested backflow preventers can result in compliance orders.
Hot Water & Dishwasher Compliance
Commercial dishwashers require specific water temperatures for sanitization compliance under Ontario health regulations. Adequate hot water supply and temperature at the machine is a health inspection requirement. A commercial water heater of appropriate capacity and temperature output is necessary.
Floor Drains
Commercial kitchen floor drains must be maintained clean, properly trapped, and free of grease accumulation. Blocked or poorly maintained floor drains are a recurring health inspection deficiency. Grease-resistant drain bodies and regular professional cleaning keep floor drains compliant.
Permit-Compliant Installations
All new plumbing work in a commercial kitchen requires a plumbing permit under the Ontario Building Code. Equipment connections, new drain lines, and grease interceptor installations are permit-required. Unpermitted work creates liability and insurance exposure.

Restaurant plumbing failures during service hours are business emergencies. Having a reliable commercial plumbing contact is part of operational risk management. Mechora provides commercial kitchen plumbing service across the GTA — contact us at 249-733-7907 for urgent requests.
