Restaurant Plumbing That Keeps Your Kitchen Running

Why Restaurants Need a Dedicated Plumber

A restaurant kitchen puts more stress on plumbing in one day than most homes see in a month. Grease, food solids, high water volume, and constant hot water demand push pipes, drains, and water heaters to their limits. When something fails during a dinner rush, you lose revenue by the minute.

The Odessa-Midland metro area has seen steady restaurant growth fueled by the oil economy. According to the Texas Restaurant Association, the state's restaurant industry employs over 1.4 million workers and generates $100 billion in annual sales. Locally, new restaurants continue opening along Highway 191 and throughout downtown Odessa to serve the growing workforce population.

Resolv Services LLC understands the urgency of restaurant plumbing. We schedule work around your service hours, stock the commercial parts your kitchen needs, and know exactly what Ector County health inspectors look for. Call (432) 290-8511 to schedule service that does not disrupt your business.

Grease Trap Installation, Cleaning, and Compliance

Every commercial kitchen in Odessa must have a properly sized grease trap. The City of Odessa Fats, Oils, and Grease program requires restaurants to maintain grease interceptors and keep pumping records on file. Failure to comply can result in fines and forced closure.

We size grease traps based on your fixture count, flow rate, and menu type. A high-volume fryer operation needs a much larger interceptor than a sandwich shop. We install both indoor point-of-use traps and outdoor in-ground interceptors. After installation, we help you set up a pumping schedule that keeps you in compliance.

One Midland restaurant owner called us after receiving a health department warning for a grease trap that had not been pumped in eight months. Grease had backed up into the floor drains and was visible in the dining area. We pumped the trap, replaced a corroded baffle, and had the restaurant back in compliance within 24 hours.

Commercial Water Heaters and Gas Lines

The FDA Food Code requires commercial dishwashers to reach a final rinse temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. That means your water heater must deliver consistent high-temperature output during peak hours. We install and service commercial tank and tankless water heaters from Rheem, A.O. Smith, and Bradford White.

Gas line work in restaurants demands careful sizing and code compliance. We install gas lines for ranges, ovens, fryers, and boilers. Every gas connection includes a sediment trap, flexible connector rated for the appliance, and a leak test documented with a pressure gauge reading. According to the National Fire Protection Association, cooking equipment is the leading cause of restaurant fires, so proper gas installation is a safety priority.

Floor Drains, Dishwasher Hookups, and Backflow Prevention

Floor drains in commercial kitchens take heavy abuse. Food particles, cleaning chemicals, and constant water flow can clog or corrode drains within months if they are not properly maintained. We install stainless steel floor sinks and drains with removable strainer baskets that make daily cleaning easier for your kitchen staff.

Dishwasher hookups require dedicated hot water supply lines, proper drainage with air gaps, and backflow prevention devices. Texas plumbing code mandates air gaps or approved backflow preventers on all commercial dishwasher installations to protect the public water supply. We handle the full installation and ensure it passes inspection on the first visit.

Health Department and Inspection Support

Plumbing violations are among the most common findings during restaurant health inspections. Missing backflow preventers, improperly vented drains, and undersized grease traps can all trigger point deductions or conditional closures. We help restaurant owners address plumbing deficiencies before inspections happen.

We also provide emergency service when an inspector issues a correction notice with a tight deadline. Our team works fast because we understand that every day your doors are closed costs you money. Reach us by phone or online any time to discuss your restaurant plumbing needs.
