What we cover

Backflow preventer testing & repair

Oregon requires annual backflow testing on commercial and many residential backflow assemblies. We're certified testers. We test, certify, submit paperwork to the water purveyor, and repair or replace assemblies that fail. Full records kept for your compliance file.

Commercial water heaters

Service and replacement of commercial tank, tankless, and hybrid systems. We flush sediment, test components, replace heating elements and thermostats, and size/install new commercial systems sized to your real demand.

Flush valves & commercial fixtures

Sloan, Zurn, and similar commercial flush valves. We repair leaking flush valves, replace diaphragms and seals, adjust flow, and replace assemblies that are past service life. Commercial faucets, sinks, and fixtures also covered.

Booster & recirculation pumps

Commercial booster pump service keeps water pressure where it needs to be for multi-story buildings. Recirculation pump service keeps hot water circulating where it's needed. We check water pressure and flow, inspect for leaks, and replace pumps or valves as needed.

Trench & floor drains

Floor drains in commercial kitchens, restrooms, and utility rooms need regular cleaning to prevent flooding and odor. Trench drains in parking structures, car washes, and industrial areas need mechanical clearing and flushing. We maintain both.

Preventative maintenance agreements

Scheduled quarterly or annual maintenance for Salem businesses — we inspect, service, and document every visit so you have a clean compliance record and no surprise failures.

Commercial plumbing is a different discipline from residential. The fixtures are different, the code requirements are stricter, the consequences of failure are larger (a restaurant with a backed-up floor drain on a Saturday night is a bad night), and the timing needs to work around your business.

What makes us good at commercial work

Dale spent years doing commercial service before Spectrum. That experience translates directly into faster diagnosis on flush valves, commercial water heaters, and backflow assemblies — the things that break in commercial properties and that residential-only plumbers aren't always fluent in.

We also understand the operational reality. A clogged floor drain in a coffee shop is not a "we'll get to it next Tuesday" situation. A failed commercial water heater at a salon is lost revenue every hour. We prioritize commercial calls accordingly.

Preventative maintenance saves commercial operators the most

The ROI on commercial plumbing maintenance is better than almost any other building system:

  • Backflow testing is legally required and we manage the paperwork
  • Annual water heater flushing adds years to service life
  • Quarterly floor drain cleaning prevents the Saturday-night backup
  • Booster pump inspection catches failures before they cascade

We offer fixed-price annual agreements that handle all of this proactively. For most commercial operators, this costs less over 3 years than one emergency failure would.

Frequently asked questions

Do you test backflow preventers?
Yes. We're certified Oregon backflow testers. We test your assembly, submit the certification to your water purveyor (City of Salem, Suburban East Salem Water, etc.), and keep a copy in your file. We can also repair or replace assemblies that fail testing.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes, for most commercial jobs. We schedule early mornings, evenings, or weekends when the work can't happen during your operations. Emergency commercial calls are 24/7 in our service area.
What's included in a preventative maintenance agreement?
We customize these to your facility. Typical agreements include: quarterly backflow visual inspection, annual backflow certification, annual water heater inspection and flush, drain line inspections, and written reports. Pricing is predictable and builds an issue log for your facility manager.
Do you work with property managers and commercial landlords?
Yes. We work with several Salem-area property managers on multi-building portfolios. We can bill to the property management company and coordinate access with tenants.
Are you insured for commercial work?
Yes — fully insured with general liability and workers' comp. We carry the coverage amounts most commercial property owners require and can provide certificates of insurance for your records.
