Commercial Drain & Sewer Services in Sacramento, California
Recurring clogs, backups, and foul odors don’t just inconvenience your team, they can shut down operations and risk health code violations. In high-demand environments like restaurants, senior care facilities, or multi-family residences, your plumbing infrastructure needs more than a reactive fix. It needs proactive care and fast, professional service when problems arise.
At Gilmore Heating, Air & Plumbing, we offer advanced commercial drain and sewer solutions tailored to the needs of Sacramento-area businesses.

Why Preventative Maintenance Matters
Drain problems rarely start big. Slow drains, minor odors, or a single backup are often early warnings. Without preventative service, these small signals can turn into full closures, customer complaints, and sanitation issues. Gilmore helps business owners stay ahead of these problems through scheduled jetting and system reviews.
Our quarterly maintenance programs include:
- High-pressure jetting to clear buildup and grease
- Video inspections to identify root intrusion or hidden cracks
- Trap and sump pump evaluations
- Site-specific recommendations for futureproofing your system
Preventative drain care is especially important for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and stores with grease traps. Routine maintenance can prevent shutdowns, emergency calls, and surprise repair costs.
