When Your Business Can't Afford Downtime
You’ve got customers walking through your door. Staff who need functioning bathrooms. Equipment that requires water to operate. A lease that holds you responsible for plumbing maintenance. And maybe a landlord who’s slow to respond when something breaks.
When your plumbing fails, you’re not just dealing with an inconvenience—you’re losing money by the hour.
Whether you’re running a restaurant on Lincoln Avenue, managing a multi-unit building in Riverside South, operating a retail shop, or running a warehouse facility anywhere in Chicago, plumbing problems shut you down fast. A backed-up grease trap closes your kitchen. A burst pipe floods your stockroom. A broken water heater means no hot water for your commercial dishwasher.
You need someone who understands commercial plumbing—not just residential work scaled up, but actual commercial systems with their codes, their demands, and their stakes. Someone who shows up when they say they will, diagnoses the problem correctly the first time, and gets you back in business.
That’s what we do. Grayson Sewer & Drain Services handles commercial plumbing throughout Chicago, with deep experience in Lincoln Square and Riverside South. We work with restaurants, retail businesses, office buildings, apartment complexes, warehouses, and more.
Don’t let plumbing problems cost you another hour of business.
Why Chicago Businesses Trust Us With Their Plumbing
When your business is on the line, you can’t mess around with inexperienced plumbers or companies that treat commercial work like an afterthought. Here’s why businesses across Lincoln Square, Riverside South, and Greater Chicago call us:
We Understand Commercial Requirements
Commercial plumbing isn't residential plumbing with bigger pipes. Different codes. Different inspections. Different equipment. Different liability. We're licensed for commercial work and we know exactly what Chicago requires.
We Know These Neighborhoods
Lincoln Square's mix of historic storefronts and newer construction? The diverse commercial properties throughout Riverside South? We've worked in both areas extensively. We know the building types, the common issues, and how to navigate each situation.
Fast Response When Minutes Matter
When your restaurant's kitchen drain backs up during dinner service or your building's main line fails on a Monday morning, you need someone NOW. We prioritize commercial emergencies and get there fast—because we know what downtime costs you.
We Work Around Your Business Hours
Need work done overnight so you don't close during business hours? Early morning before you open? Weekends? We schedule around your operation, not the other way around.
Transparent Pricing for Commercial Jobs
No games, no surprises. We give you clear pricing upfront so you can make informed decisions. If it's a complex job, we'll provide a detailed estimate before we start.
Proper Documentation & Compliance
Need documentation for your landlord? Building management? Insurance? City inspections? We provide detailed invoices, photo documentation, and compliance records for every job.
Commercial Plumbing Services We Provide
We handle everything your business needs, from emergency repairs to planned installations:

Drain Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting
From backed-up floor drains to main sewer line blockages, we clear commercial drains fast using professional-grade equipment including high-pressure hydro-jetting.

Grease Trap Service & Repair
Restaurant owners know: a failing grease trap shuts down your kitchen. We service, clean, repair, and replace grease traps to keep you compliant and operational.

Water Heater Service & Replacement
Commercial water heaters work harder than residential units. We repair and replace tankless systems, standard tank heaters, and high-capacity units for any commercial application.

Backflow Prevention Testing & Certification
Chicago requires annual backflow testing for commercial properties. We test, certify, repair, and install backflow preventers to keep you compliant.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Main line issues? We camera-inspect to diagnose the problem, then repair or replace using traditional or trenchless methods depending on your situation.

Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing
From leaking faucets and running toilets to complete fixture replacement—we handle all your customer-facing and back-of-house plumbing needs.

Commercial Fixture Installation
Installing commercial-grade toilets, sinks, faucets, and other fixtures that meet ADA requirements and Chicago commercial codes.

Sump Pump Service
Basement or below-grade commercial space? We install, repair, and maintain sump pumps to protect your property from flooding.

Gas Line Service
Licensed for gas work. We repair gas leaks, install new gas lines, and handle gas pipe modifications for commercial kitchens and equipment.

Preventive Maintenance Programs
Regular inspections and maintenance prevent expensive emergency repairs. We create custom maintenance schedules for multi-unit buildings and commercial properties.

Plumbing System Upgrades
Renovating your space? Adding equipment? We design and install plumbing systems that meet your operational needs and all commercial codes.

What to Do When You Have a Plumbing Emergency

Shut Off Water If Possible
If you've got a major leak or burst pipe, turn it off immediately.

Contain Active Leaks
Put buckets under leaks, use towels to contain water spread, move inventory or equipment away from water if you can.

Document the Damage
Take photos and videos for insurance purposes before cleanup begins.

Clear the Area
Keep staff and customers away from the affected area, especially if there's sewage involved.

What Your Neighbors Are Saying
Posted on Graham Alvey It had been several years since our sewer line had been rodded / jetted. With a quick camera inspection, Jeremy discovered multiple cracks in the 100+ year old pipes through a section of the line. He did not pressure me to replace anything, only stating it would eventually become a problem and that he could continue the jetting as requested or could replace the damaged section. I opted for replacement, and Jeremy and his crew were able to pull the permits and dig out and replace ~10ft of badly damaged line. They did it efficiently, kept our sewer line flowing, and kept me informed all along the process.Posted on John Lattyak Called Grayson Sewer and Drain Services on Saturday because shower in basement was backing up. Jeremy said he could come out early afternoon after he took care of 3 customers before me. He came on time and did a video inspection of my main sewer drain that showed root growth. They hydro jetted the main sewer and cleaned out the root growth. They also rodded the drain from shower to the connection at the main and got my sewer drains working again. Pricing was reasonable for the amount of work they had to do. Would use them again.Posted on Jasmine Williams Mr Grayson and his team did an awesome job, very quick and efficient. As well as affordable. Truly appreciated them solving the problem for me as swift as they did. ♥️Posted on Linda Wiley They were very professional and arrived on time. I'll be using them again for keeping my catch basin clean.Posted on Kim Kim This company went above and beyond to do a thorough sewer and drain scope inspection for a property I'm considering buying. When they came, the corroded cap made it impossible to remove. Since they needed to wait for the seller's approval to cut the cap, they had to make a second trip. And they didn't even charge me for this! They even replaced the cap for the seller free of charge. This company stands behind integrity and a genuine desire to help people. Thank you!!Posted on Zoli Laczko Jeremy and the team was extremely responsive and fast in repairing a gas leak. Great communication. Honest Work. Highly recommend their services.Posted on DeAnne Meisner Easy to contact. Fast, efficient and professional!Posted on Donna Rae A great plumbing company. Great customer service and quality craftsmanship. We will call Grayson for all our sewer and plumbing needs in the future. Their prices are great and their work is even better. We highly recommend Grayson sewer and drain services to everyone we know.
