MAMBA DRAINAGE SERVICES
Commercial Plumbing Vancouver
Restaurant prep sink backing up Friday night? Strata building stack failing? Office tower plumbing issue across multiple floors? We work after-hours, carry $5M liability, and deliver insurance-ready certificates of service.
Restaurants, strata, retail, office, industrial. 24/7 dispatch. (778) 961-0824 or book online.
Commercial Plumbing for Vancouver Businesses
Commercial plumbing is a different game from residential. Higher volume, higher liability, after-hours scheduling, multiple stakeholders (property managers, strata councils, tenants, insurance brokers, City inspectors), and the constant requirement that work doesn’t disrupt the customer-facing side of the business.
We work with three commercial customer types across Greater Vancouver:
Restaurants. From small Commercial Drive cafes to larger downtown restaurant groups. Kitchen stack hydrojetting on quarterly contracts, grease trap pumping coordination, emergency drain clearing during service hours, fixture repair and replacement, gas line work for new cooking equipment installs (see also gas line repair). After-hours and overnight scheduling standard – your kitchen reopens for breakfast service.
Strata buildings. Concrete towers and townhome complexes across Metrotown, downtown Vancouver, and Olympic Village. Common-area drainage maintenance, shared stack hydrojetting, parkade catch basin cleaning, unit-level repairs coordinated through property management. Certificates of service for strata records and reserve fund studies.
Retail and office. Strip malls, office towers, mixed-use buildings. Restroom fixture maintenance, drainage, hot water systems, gas line work. Often working with property management for portfolio-wide service across multiple sites.
Industrial and warehouse. Drainage systems for parking lots, loading docks, washbay drains, large-volume hot water for facility operations.
Standard commercial coverage: $5M general liability, full WCB, Red Seal certified plumbers, certified gas fitter on staff (no subbing the gas-side work to a third party). Certificates of service emailed within 24 hours for compliance documentation and insurance records. 24/7 emergency dispatch with 30-60 minute response inside Vancouver and Burnaby.
Restaurant Commercial Plumbing
Restaurant plumbing has its own rules. Health code compliance, after-hours scheduling, FOG (fats, oils, grease) management, and the constant requirement that service work doesn’t impact food production.
Quarterly hydrojet maintenance contracts are the foundation. FOG buildup in kitchen stacks accelerates fast – 6-10 months between cleanings allows enough buildup for a backup-during-service emergency. Quarterly $1,989-$3,489 annual single-location buys insurance against the 11 PM crisis call.
Grease trap coordination. Most Vancouver restaurants are required to have grease interceptors under the kitchen sink and main grease trap outdoors. We coordinate with grease trap pumping companies for scheduled service and handle the plumbing side – inlet/outlet lateral cleaning, vent stack maintenance, baffle inspection.
Emergency response during service hours. When the prep sink backs up at 6:45 PM on Friday or sewage rises in the basement floor drain mid-Saturday brunch, we respond inside 30-60 minutes in Vancouver and Burnaby. Maintenance contract clients get priority – they jump the emergency queue.
Gas line work for new cooking equipment. Installing a new combi oven, fryer line, or wok station requires gas-fitter work. We have a Red Seal certified gas fitter on staff (no subbing to third party), pull City permits, handle FortisBC coordination. $789-$2,489 typical install per appliance line.
After-hours and overnight scheduling. Restaurant plumbing work happens after close. 2 AM kitchen stack jets, midnight fixture replacements, overnight repipes during 1-2 day closure windows. Kitchen reopens for the next service.
Documentation: certificates of service emailed within 24 hours for restaurant insurance audits and health-department record. $5M general liability, full WCB.
Strata Plumbing and Multi-Tenant Buildings
Strata buildings have multiple plumbing responsibilities split between strata corporation (common areas, shared stacks, parkade drainage) and unit owners (in-suite fixtures, supply lines downstream of the unit shut-off). We work with both.
Common-area drainage maintenance. Shared horizontal stack hydrojetting at each floor cross-connection. Vertical stack camera inspection. Parkade catch basin cleaning and storm lateral maintenance. Semi-annual or annual schedule depending on building size and traffic.
Unit-level repairs coordinated through property management. In-suite leak detection, fixture repair, water damage response. Property manager calls dispatch, we coordinate access with the unit owner, complete the work, invoice property management. Insurance documentation handled.
Reserve fund study support. Strata reserve studies require documented condition assessments of major plumbing infrastructure. We provide camera scope reports, written cause-and-condition assessments, and remaining-service-life estimates for strata reserve planners.
Emergency response for strata clients. Burst pipe in a unit, sewer backup in the common area, hot water tank failure in the building mechanical room – 30-60 minute response inside Vancouver and Burnaby, 24/7. Maintenance contract clients get priority.
Documentation standard for strata work: certificates of service emailed within 24 hours, photo logs for every visit, written reports formatted for strata council meeting minutes and reserve fund records. $5M general liability, full WCB – documentation packages emailed to property managers on request.
Multi-building portfolio pricing for property management companies covering 3+ stratas: tiered discounts on annual contracts, single point of contact through our dedicated commercial dispatch.

9 Commercial Plumbing Tips for Vancouver Property Owners
- Restaurants – quarterly hydrojet, no exceptions. FOG buildup accelerates fast in commercial kitchens. Quarterly contract beats emergency-during-service every time.
- Strata buildings – semi-annual common-area maintenance. Documented in reserve studies and required by some insurance brokers. Establishes preventive-maintenance baseline.
- Schedule after-hours for tenant-sensitive work. Parkade jets overnight, restaurant kitchens at 2 AM, office complex evenings. We work around your tenants’ schedules at no premium for contract clients.
- Document everything for insurance. Certificates of service, photo logs, written cause-and-condition reports – emailed within 24 hours. Useful at insurance renewal, audit, and claim time.
- Multi-site portfolios get tiered pricing. Property management companies with 3+ sites on annual contracts get 15-25% lower per-site rates. Mobilization efficiency drives the discount.
- Coordinate gas work with plumbing in renovations. New cooking equipment install needs both. Single contractor with certified gas fitter on staff (us) handles both efficiently.
- Plan for compliance documentation needs. City of Vancouver storm-water bylaws and health-department restaurant requirements both need documented maintenance. Build it into your annual schedule.
- Build emergency contact into staff training. Restaurant managers, building maintenance staff, property managers all need (778) 961-0824 in their phones. Cold sweat at midnight isn’t the time to search.
- Annual contracts include emergency priority. Maintenance contract clients jump the emergency queue. Critical for restaurants and tenant-sensitive sites where downtime costs.
