Restaurant Plumbing in Paramount, CA
Grease Interceptors, Floor Sinks & Hot Water Capacity | Work Scheduled Around Your Service | CSLB #1051553 | Se Habla Español
A commercial kitchen is a plumbing system running at a duty cycle a house never sees, inspected by people with a checklist, and unable to close for a plumber. Everything about the work is different from residential, starting with when it happens.
Ser Plumbing works with restaurants, cafés, taquerías, bakeries, and food-service operators across Paramount and SE LA County. Roughly a third of what we do is light commercial, and food service is the part of it where the plumbing has opinions about your health inspection.
Grease interceptors, floor sinks and indirect waste, three-compartment and prep sinks, mop sinks, hot water capacity, and the drain lines that carry it all.

Why People Call
A handful of symptoms cover almost every call. Each one points somewhere different, and the difference is usually real money.
What's Covered
Grease interceptors: the plumbing around them
Repair, replacement and the drain and vent work either side of the device, plus a plain read on whether what you have still suits what you cook. Pumping the device out and certifying it is the interceptor specialists' work, not ours. We name a specialist rather than pretending otherwise.
Floor sinks, floor drains and indirect waste
These are three different things and the distinction is exactly what kitchens get written up for. Equipment that must drain indirectly through an air gap into a receptor gets plumbed that way, and equipment drains running where they should not get corrected.
Hot water capacity and recovery
Sizing driven by simultaneous demand rather than by tank gallons, and the runs that serve fixtures a long way from the heater. Where recovery is the constraint, adding a bigger tank is the wrong answer. /water-heater-repair-replacement
Three-compartment, prep and mop sinks
Installation and repair, with the backflow protection and separations your health jurisdiction expects, and drainage that reaches the receptor properly rather than approximately. Trap primers too, because a floor sink whose trap has dried out is a sewer-gas complaint waiting for an inspector.
Kitchen drain lines and scheduled jetting
Grease mains cleaned properly on a cadence you set, with scheduled outside service and camera confirmation of the pipe wall rather than a hopeful assumption. /plumbing-camera-inspection
Backflow testing and certification, which belongs to a certified tester and we will point you at one
Grease interceptor pumping and certification, which the interceptor specialists handle
Gas appliance service and hood systems, which are separate trades
Pricing
Cost drivers: how many lines and fixtures are involved, whether the work happens during or outside service hours, access to the interceptor and the drains, and whether the job includes correcting an existing arrangement rather than repairing what is there.
After-hours rates are stated before anyone is dispatched, and the same discounts do not automatically apply to commercial accounts; commercial terms are quoted per site.
Why Ser Plumbing for Food Service
We know the difference between a floor sink and a floor drain
It sounds like a small distinction, and it sits behind a good share of plumbing-related write-ups. Equipment that has to drain indirectly through an air gap into a receptor is not the same as a floor drain, and kitchens are built as though it is.
We schedule around your service
A kitchen cannot close for a plumber and should not have to. Work happens within the window you give us, and that window is agreed upon before anyone is dispatched.
Documentation comes with the work
Photographs and a record of what was done, because the person asking about it later will not be us. Property managers and multi-site operators get the same file discipline. → /commercial-plumbing-services
We say what we do not do
Interceptor pumping, certification, and backflow testing are other people's work, and we name them rather than quietly subbing them. You always know who is doing what on your site.
