A Plumber Who Understands Restaurant Kitchens
Restaurant plumbing is not residential plumbing with bigger pipes. Commercial kitchens generate massive volumes of fats, oils, and grease that residential systems never see. According to the EPA, grease from restaurants, homes, and industrial sources is the most common cause of sewer blockages, responsible for 47 percent of all reported blockages nationwide. A single restaurant can discharge 800 to 17,000 pounds of grease into the sewer system annually if its grease trap isn’t properly sized and maintained.
Bailey Bros. handles the full plumbing scope for restaurants and food service businesses across Central Maryland. Our team is led by a licensed Master Plumber and Master Gas Fitter with 28 years of experience in both residential and commercial plumbing. We understand grease trap sizing requirements, FOG compliance, gas line code for commercial kitchen equipment, and the reality that a plumbing failure during dinner service costs you money every minute.
We serve restaurants, commercial kitchens, bars, and food service operations throughout the Greater Baltimore area, the I-95 corridor, and the Chesapeake Bay region. Financing is available through Wisetack for larger commercial plumbing projects.

Problems Restaurant Owners Know Too Well
When floor drains back up in the kitchen during a busy shift, the cause is almost always grease buildup in the drain line. A standard drain snake provides temporary relief, but the grease returns within weeks.Hydro jetting clears the entire pipe wall and keeps the line open significantly longer.
A grease trap that's full smells foul, slows drainage, and puts you at risk of a health department violation. Most restaurant grease traps need cleaning every 30 to 90 days depending on volume. If yours is overflowing between scheduled cleanings, it may be undersized for your operation.
When multiple sinks drain slowly at the same time, the blockage is usually downstream in the main drain or sewer line, not at individual fixtures. Restaurant drain lines accumulate grease, food particles, and sediment that compound over time. A camera inspection shows exactly where the problem is.
Any gas odor in a commercial kitchen is an emergency. Turn off the gas supply, evacuate the building, and call us. Commercial kitchen gas lines serve ranges, ovens, fryers, and broilers with high BTU demands. A leak at any connection point is a safety hazard. Our Master Gas Fitter handles all commercial gas line work.
Health department inspections can flag grease trap violations, cross-connection issues, backflow device failures, and inadequate handwashing stations. If you've been cited, call us. We correct the issue, provide documentation, and help you pass reinspection.
A restaurant build-out or renovation requires plumbing from the ground up: grease trap sizing and installation, gas lines for all kitchen equipment, rough-in for sinks, dishwashers, bar, and restrooms, and compliance with local plumbing code. We coordinate with your general contractor and your timeline.
Restaurant Plumbing Services We Handle
Grease Trap Cleaning, Installation, and Sizing
We clean, repair, install, and size grease traps and grease interceptors for restaurants of all sizes. Proper sizing depends on your kitchen’s flow rate, the number of fixtures, and your local jurisdiction’s requirements. An undersized trap fills too fast and puts you out of compliance. We size it right from the start and set up a cleaning schedule that keeps you compliant.
Commercial Kitchen Gas Lines
Commercial ranges, ovens, fryers, broilers, and steam equipment all require properly sized gas lines. Our Master Gas Fitter handles new gas line installation for restaurant build-outs, gas line extensions for new equipment, leak detection, pressure testing, and code compliance.
Restaurant Drain Cleaning and Hydro Jetting
Standard drain snaking removes the immediate clog but leaves grease on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting blasts the entire interior of the pipe clean with high-pressure water, removing grease buildup that snaking can’t reach. For restaurants, hydro jetting is the difference between a clog every month and a clear line for six months or longer. Save $350 on hydro jetting this season.
Restaurant Build-Out and Renovation Plumbing
For new restaurants or full renovations, we handle the complete plumbing scope, including grease trap sizing and installation and gas lines for all kitchen equipment. We provide rough-in for prep sinks, hand sinks, dishwashers, bar sinks, mop sinks, and restrooms. Our team also pulls permits, coordinates with your GC, and ensures all work meets inspection deadlines.
Why Restaurant Owners Choose Bailey Bros.
We Know Commercial Kitchen Code
Restaurant plumbing code is different from residential code. Grease trap sizing, backflow prevention, indirect waste connections, and air gap requirements all apply to food service operations. We understand the code across all five counties in our service area and make sure your kitchen passes inspection
Master Gas Fitter on Staff
Commercial kitchen gas work requires a licensed professional. Our team includes a Master Gas Fitter who handles gas line installation, extension, repair, and pressure testing for restaurant equipment. You don’t need a separate gas contractor. We handle it in-house under Maryland License #74826.
One Plumber for Everything
For new restaurant builds and full renovations, we handle the complete plumbing scope. This includes grease trap sizing and installation, as well as gas lines for all kitchen equipment. We complete rough-in for prep sinks, hand sinks, dishwashers, bar sinks, mop sinks, and restrooms. We also pull permits, coordinate with your GC, and meet your inspection deadlines.
Maintenance Plans That Prevent Emergencies
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps your grease trap clean, your drains clear, your backflow device tested, and your kitchen running without the surprise calls that shut down service. We offer commercial maintenance plans tailored to your restaurant’s volume and schedule.
24/7 Emergency Response
A backed-up sewer line during Friday night dinner service can’t wait until Monday. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing for restaurants and commercial kitchens across all five counties. Call (443) 787-5995 and we’ll respond.
What Restaurant Plumbing Service Covers
Assessment and Diagnosis
We assess the problem, run a camera if needed, and explain what we find in plain language. For build-outs and renovations, we review your kitchen plans, equipment list, and local code requirements before quoting the work.
Grease Trap and FOG Compliance
We clean, inspect, and document your grease trap service for your records and your local health authority. If your trap is undersized or failing, we recommend the right replacement based on your kitchen’s fixture count and flow rate. We help you stay compliant with Maryland’s FOG regulations.
Gas Line and Equipment Connections
For new installations or equipment additions, we size and install the gas line, connect the equipment, pressure test the system, and verify safe operation. All gas work is performed by our Master Gas Fitter and meets Maryland code.
Ongoing Maintenance and Priority Scheduling
After the initial service, we set up a commercial maintenance schedule based on your kitchen’s volume. Grease trap cleaning, drain maintenance, and backflow testing are scheduled proactively so you’re not reacting to problems during service hours. Maintenance plan customers get priority scheduling and preferred response times.
Hear It From Your Neighbors
Very Professional and gets the job done! Bailey Bros was recommended to me by a friend who is a general contractor. They came and were very transparent with everything that needed to be done. They were professional and courteous as they explained everything before and during the process. They had to dig a very deep trench to access my sewer line and they returned the following days to finish, re-seed and straw my yard. Thank you! I have peace-of-mind knowing the task was done right.
I was having problems with my toilet and was looking for a plumber. I called Bailey Bros. and spoke with Ray on the first call. He came to my home and fixed the issue. He was very professional and easy to deal with from the first conversation I had with him. He was great! I will only call Bailey Brothers for any plumbing issues I have in the future.
Had these guys install a hot water heater for me. I bought the heater and they were gracious enough to install it. They were friendly, responsive and the least expensive after a comprehensive search. Significantly less expensive. They were thorough and explained everything. Shawn (my tech) was charming. Someone you’d be happy to go out and have a drink with. They have a 5 star rating. They ran a little late, but for the savings and quality of work, it was well worth it. The basement was a little cleaner after their work than before they arrived. I highly recommend them.
Thank you Shawn and Mike! My water heater busted on a Saturday and they were able to install a new one within a few days! 🥰 you guys are awesome! It’s so much better than the old one from 1999! 🫠
Restaurant Plumbing Questions
How often should a restaurant grease trap be cleaned?
Most restaurant grease traps need cleaning every 30 to 90 days depending on your kitchen’s volume. High-volume operations like fry-heavy restaurants may need monthly service. We set up a cleaning schedule based on your operation and monitor trap levels to adjust the frequency as needed.
What size grease trap does my restaurant need?
Grease trap sizing depends on your kitchen’s flow rate, the number of fixtures connected, and your local jurisdiction’s requirements. An undersized trap fills too fast and leads to violations. We calculate the correct size during your assessment and handle the installation.
Can you handle a full restaurant build-out?
Yes. We handle the complete plumbing scope for new restaurants and renovations: grease trap installation, gas lines for all kitchen equipment, rough-in for every fixture, and code compliance. We coordinate with your general contractor and meet your inspection timeline.
Do you install gas lines for restaurant equipment?
Yes. Our Master Gas Fitter installs and services gas lines for commercial ranges, ovens, fryers, broilers, steam equipment, and any other gas-fired kitchen equipment. All gas work meets Maryland commercial code. License #74826.
Do you offer maintenance plans for restaurants?
A drain snake punches through the clog but leaves grease on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the entire interior of the pipe. For restaurant drains where grease is the primary problem, hydro jetting lasts significantly longer between service calls. Save $350 this season.
Can you test my well water?
Yes. Our commercial maintenance plans include scheduled grease trap cleaning, drain service, backflow testing, and system inspections. Maintenance plan customers get priority scheduling and preferred emergency response times.
