Commercial Drain & Sewer Services

Commercial Drain & Sewer Services

Elge Plumbing Company installs complete drain and sewer systems for commercial buildings, institutional facilities, and large-scale developments. From underground sanitary lines and storm drainage to grease waste and trench drains, we deliver plumbing infrastructure that meets both construction deadlines and code compliance standards.

These systems are often among the first installed on-site and are essential for inspections tied to slab pours, foundation work, and overall construction sequencing. We support this phase with strong planning, early coordination with civil teams, and a deep understanding of inspection timelines. From laying out a trench drain network for a commercial kitchen to connecting sanitary mains for a senior living complex, Elge keeps the schedule moving forward.

With over 100 years of experience, we understand how to integrate storm and sewer scopes into the broader construction plan. Our team helps clients avoid slab conflicts, utility delays, and costly rework. We self-perform across New England and the Southeast and extend service to key national markets through a trusted subcontractor network.

Complete Drain & Sewer Solutions

Our team installs full-scope drain and sewer systems to support commercial projects from early excavation through to final plumbing tie-ins. We bring both the technical expertise and manpower to deliver under pressure while coordinating closely with other trades on site.

• Underground sanitary sewer piping
• Storm drainage and rainwater leader systems
• Grease waste lines for foodservice and industrial applications
• Trench drains and floor drains for service zones and wet areas
• Connections to municipal mains or onsite septic or treatment systems
• Overflow drainage and emergency backup routing
• Separation of storm and sanitary lines in regulated jurisdictions
• Installation of cleanouts, manholes, and access structures

These scopes can be integrated into full plumbing packages or handled as standalone phases depending on the project timeline.

Code-Compliant & Inspection-Ready

Drain and sewer systems must meet precise code requirements to pass inspection and avoid rework. Elge plans each install carefully, starting with layout reviews, trench elevations, and slope planning, and finishing with system testing and inspector coordination.

• All systems installed per state and local code
• Slopes, cleanouts, and venting verified during installation
• Testing services include air or hydrostatic pressure verification
• Walkthrough preparation and on-site inspector communication
• Coordination with AHJs, civil engineers, and utility authorities
• As-builts, cut sheets, and inspection documentation provided as needed

By focusing on accuracy and readiness from the start, we help eliminate delays tied to underground approvals or missed utility milestones.

Supporting Systems

Commercial drain and sewer systems do not operate in isolation. Elge ensures every underground system integrates smoothly with interior plumbing and mechanical installations that follow. From slab coordination to vertical risers, we plan for what comes next.

• Interior tie-ins for storm and sanitary lines
• Coordination with slab pours, embeds, and core drilling
• Piping stub-ups and protection during concrete work
• Utility coordination for grease traps, separators, and interceptors
• Flexible sequencing to match phased buildouts and multiple crews

Success in this phase depends on timing, communication, and site-specific awareness. Our team delivers that from day one.
