Commercial services
Commercial plumbing, sewer & electrical — with minimal downtime.
American Rooter & Drain offers commercial plumbing services including trenchless plumbing & sewer services and commercial electrical services. We lead with case studies demonstrating significant cost savings and minimal disruption to your operations.
What we do for businesses
Two specialties. One accountable crew.
Every commercial job is staffed by our own in-house technicians — no subcontractors, no handoffs, no surprises. We scope it accurately, quote it flat, and get it done.
Trenchless Plumbing & Sewer
Our advanced camera inspection pinpoints exactly where the problem is — beneath a slab, under a parking lot, or inside a building — before a single shovel hits the ground. We fix it in place using trenchless technology: no demolition, no weeks of closure, far less cost. This is the same method that saved an Idaho school district over $50,000 on a single repair competitors quoted at full excavation.
Commercial Electrical
From panel upgrades and circuit adds to lighting retrofits and code-compliance work, our licensed electricians handle commercial electrical needs with the same flat-rate transparency we bring to plumbing. Work is inspected, documented, and warranted — so your facility manager and your insurer both have everything they need.
Proof in the field
Diagnose first. Dig never (if we can help it).
The challenge
School flagged for immediate plumbing remediation. Competitors recommended tearing out bathroom structures — $50,000 estimate, weeks of downtime, major disruption.
Our solution
Deployed advanced sewer camera inspection. Found broken pipe was beneath the kitchen, not the bathrooms. Implemented trenchless repair technique; avoided unnecessary demolition and excavation.
The results
- Over $50,000 saved by avoiding needless demolition
- 5-day completion — no interference with school operations
- Zero disruption to classrooms, staff, or student safety
- Accurate diagnostics led to a targeted, cost-efficient solution
Minimally invasive trenchless technology saved significant time and money while maintaining student safety. The district now regards ARD as a go-to provider for specialized plumbing repairs.

Straight answersCommercial trenchless
QCan you repair a sewer line under our concrete floor without breaking up the slab?
Usually, yes. Cured-in-place pipe lining is installed through existing access points and cured inside the old pipe, so the line beneath the slab is rebuilt without opening the floor above it. For a commercial building that is often the difference between closing off an area for part of a day and closing it for a week.
QDoes trenchless lining work under a foundation or load-bearing structure?
Yes, and it is the main reason commercial clients choose it. Excavating beneath a footing or a load-bearing slab is expensive, can require engineering sign-off, and puts the structure at risk. Lining rebuilds the pipe in place without disturbing what sits on top of it.
QIs a lined pipe as strong as a new one, or is it just a patch?
A properly installed structural liner is a full structural replacement, not a patch. It is rated for a 50+ year design life under ASTM F1216, and EPA field data confirms 25+ years of real-world performance. We warrant our trenchless work for 20 years, backed by us and by HammerHead, a division of The Toro Company.
QWe run a restaurant and keep having grease blockages. Does lining help?
It can. A finished liner is smooth-walled and jointless, so it removes the joints, offsets and root intrusions that grease catches on in an older line. It does not replace a grease management programme, but it removes the physical defects that make blockages recur in the same spot.
QHow much of our building has to shut down while you work?
Far less than with open-cut replacement, because the work happens through access points rather than through your floor. Scope depends on the run and what the camera inspection finds, so your technician confirms the plan and the affected area before anything starts.
QHow do we know lining is the right call for our building?
We camera the line first and show you the footage. If the pipe cannot carry a liner we will tell you that rather than sell you one, and you get flat-rate options for the alternatives before any work begins.
