Houston Restaurant Plumbing Renovation
A complete plumbing rough-in for a 4,000 sq ft restaurant buildout in Houston, TX — installing a commercial grease trap, kitchen three-compartment sinks, walk-in cooler drain lines, bar drain stations, and restroom plumbing for a 150-seat dining room.
The Challenge
The restaurant was converting a former retail space with minimal existing plumbing. The city required a commercial grease interceptor sized for the kitchen load, which had to be buried in the concrete slab — requiring precise coordination between the plumbing and concrete crews to set the trap before the slab pour.
Our Solution
We coordinated the grease interceptor installation with our concrete crew, confirming exact trap location and depth before any concrete was poured. All underground drain lines were pressure-tested and city-inspected before slab closure. The kitchen rough-in was designed against the owner's specific equipment layout, with stub-outs for every fixture verified against the equipment specs before walls were closed.
The Results
The plumbing passed all city inspections on the first submission. The restaurant opened on schedule, and the grease interceptor has been maintenance-free in the 18 months since installation. The owner credited the pre-planned coordination for avoiding the costly last-minute changes they had experienced with previous contractors.
