Keep Your Kitchen Running & Your Health Grade at “A”
For nearly 20 years, JTS Plumbing has been the silent partner behind some of Southern California’s most successful restaurants. We know that in the food service industry, plumbing isn’t just about pipes—it’s about revenue. A backed-up floor sink or a malfunctioning grease trap can shut your doors instantly, costing you thousands in lost sales and damaging your reputation. JTS Plumbing provides comprehensive restaurant plumbing services to all Canyon Lake, Sun City, Temecula, Wildomar, Winchester, French Valley, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Murrieta, and throughout San Diego County.
We are experts in commercial and industrial plumbing, providing rapid, code-compliant solutions that keep your kitchen operational and your health inspector happy.
Why Restaurant Owners Trust JTS Plumbing
Almost Two Decades of Expertise: We understand the unique demands of high-volume commercial kitchens.
Health Code Compliance: Our work meets all Riverside County and San Diego County Department of Environmental Health (DEH) standards.
Rapid Response: We prioritize restaurant emergencies to minimize downtime.
Local Knowledge: We know the specific water hardness issues in Menifee and the sewer line challenges in historic Temecula buildings.
Restaurant Drain Cleaning & Maintenance
Don’t Let a Clog Stop the Lunch Rush.
Commercial kitchens punish drains. Between fats, oils, grease (FOG), and food debris, your floor sinks and main lines are under constant stress. A slow drain is more than a nuisance; it’s a health violation waiting to happen.
At JTS Plumbing, we don’t just snake the line; we restore it.
- Hydro-Jetting: We use high-pressure water jets to scour the interior of your pipes, removing years of grease buildup that traditional snaking misses.
- Floor Sink Maintenance: We ensure your indirect waste receptors are draining freely, preventing the “standing water” violations that health inspectors look for.
- Preventative Maintenance Plans: Schedule monthly or quarterly cleanings to prevent emergencies before they happen.
Pro Tip: California law requires strict control of wastewater. A backup that reaches the storm drain can result in massive EPA fines. We ensure your system flows where it should—into the sewer, not the street.
Grease Trap Installation & Replacement
Compliance with Riverside & San Diego County Regulations.
The FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) Control Program is strictly enforced across our service area. If your grease interceptor is undersized, damaged, or leaking, you risk immediate closure.
JTS Plumbing specializes in the installation and replacement of both hydromechanical grease interceptors (indoor/under-sink) and gravity grease interceptors (outdoor/large capacity).
- Proper Sizing: We calculate the exact flow rate (GPM) required for your specific kitchen equipment to ensure you meet the California Plumbing Code requirements.
- Code-Compliant Installation: We handle the permitting process with the City of Temecula, Murrieta, or the County, ensuring your new trap passes inspection on the first try.
- Upgrades & Retrofits: older restaurants in Lake Elsinore or Sun City often have outdated steel traps that corrode. We replace them with modern, durable polyethylene units that last for decades.

Urinal Repair & Replacement
First Impressions Start in the Restroom.
A broken or constantly running urinal is a money pit and a customer complaint waiting to happen. Commercial restrooms see high traffic, and standard residential fixtures simply can’t keep up.
We repair and install high-performance commercial flushometers (Sloan, Zurn, etc.) that withstand heavy use.
- Diaphragm Replacement: Fix “ghost flushing” or urinals that won’t stop running.
- Valve Replacement: We install durable, vandal-resistant flush valves.
- Clog Removal: Commercial urinal augering to clear uric scale and debris.
Waterless Urinals: Installation & Maintenance
Save Water & Meet California Mandates.
California legislation (AB 715) has pushed many facilities toward water-conserving fixtures. Waterless urinals can save up to 40,000 gallons of water per fixture per year. However, they require specific maintenance to remain odor-free and functional.
JTS Plumbing is your expert in waterless technology:
- Cartridge Replacement: We supply and install replacement cartridges for all major brands (Falcon, Sloan, Waterless Co.).
- Sealant Refills: We replenish the barrier liquid (BlueSeal) that traps odors inside the drain.
- Housing Cleaning: Improper cleaning is the #1 cause of bad odors. We clean the housing correctly to ensure the system works as intended.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my restaurant drains hydro-jetted?
For most high-volume restaurants, we recommend professional hydro-jetting every 3 to 6 months. This prevents grease from hardening on the pipe walls, which is the leading cause of “soft clogs” that slow down your kitchen during peak hours.
What are the grease trap requirements for Riverside County restaurants?
Riverside County typically enforces the 25% Rule, meaning your grease trap must be cleaned before it is 25% full of grease and solids. Additionally, you must have a correctly sized interceptor based on your drainage fixture units (DFUs). JTS can perform a sizing calculation to see if your current trap is compliant.
Can you install a grease trap in an existing kitchen that doesn’t have one?
Yes. Retrofitting a grease trap can be complex due to space constraints, but we specialize in these installations. We can often install low-profile hydromechanical interceptors under 3-compartment sinks or cutting into the slab for a gravity interceptor if space allows.
Why does my waterless urinal smell bad?
A waterless urinal usually smells for one of two reasons: the cartridge is full and needs replacing, or the barrier liquid has washed away. It can also happen if harsh cleaners are used that break down the sealant. We can troubleshoot and fix this quickly.
Do you offer after-hours service to avoid disrupting my customers?
Absolutely. We understand that plumbing repairs shouldn’t kill your dinner rush. We offer flexible scheduling, including overnight and early morning hours, to perform maintenance when your kitchen is closed.
What do I do if my floor sink is backing up during service?
Stop running water into that specific line immediately to prevent overflow. Call JTS Plumbing for emergency service. We can often snake the line from a cleanout located outside the building to clear the blockage without bringing dirty equipment through your dining room.
My hot water isn’t hot enough for the health inspector. Can you help?
Yes. Health codes usually require water to reach 120°F at the utensil sink. If your system is lagging, we can adjust your commercial water heater, replace faulty thermostats, or install a hot water recirculation pump to ensure instant hot water at the tap.
Do you handle gas line plumbing for new kitchen equipment?
Yes, we are fully licensed to install and repair gas lines. Whether you are adding a new fryer, range, or flat top, we can size the gas line correctly to ensure your equipment gets the BTUs it needs to cook efficiently.
Are you licensed and insured for commercial work?
Yes, JTS Plumbing is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We carry the necessary liability insurance required to work in commercial buildings, strip malls, and industrial parks throughout San Diego and Riverside Counties.
Which areas do you service?
We act as the local expert for Canyon Lake, Sun City, Temecula, Wildomar, Winchester, French Valley, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, and Murrieta, and we extend our commercial services throughout San Diego County.
