Commercial Plumbing Services | Riverhead, NY
Keeping Offices, Retailers, Restaurants & Light-Industrial Facilities Flowing, Code-Compliant & Water-Efficient All Year
🌆 Why Riverhead Businesses Rely on a Local Commercial Plumbing Company
Riverhead’s coastal setting brings its own pipe-burdening quirks: brackish groundwater that accelerates corrosion, 90 °F summer crowds that stress rest-room fixtures, and Nor’easters that flood basements and grease traps. A plumbing failure can shutter a winery’s tasting room, halt a production line, or turn a busy Main-Street café into a slip-and-fall hazard. Partnering with a commercial plumbing services provider based in Riverhead—rather than a distant franchise—means:
- Rapid dispatch when a 3-inch drain backs up on a Friday night.
- Permitting know-how for Suffolk County health inspections, backflow certifications, and PSEG water-efficiency rebates.
- Technicians who live here and understand local water-table fluctuations and salt-spray pipe decay.

âť“ Frequently Asked Questions
- How quickly can you respond to a burst pipe in Riverhead?
With on-call technicians stationed in Suffolk County, Ocean Air can typically have a certified plumber on-site within 2–4 hours—24/7/365. - Do you handle both storm and sanitary drains?
Yes. Our hydro-jetting and camera crews handle grease-laden kitchen lines, roof leaders, and deep sanitary mains—plus trenchless point-repair for broken clay or cast-iron. - What does a preventive plumbing maintenance visit include?
Expect valve inspections, water-heater flush, aerator cleaning, trap priming, backflow test, camera review of suspect drain runs, and a digital health report summarizing flow rates, water pressure, and compliance notes. - Can you retrofit low-flow fixtures without overhauling supply lines?
Absolutely. We size pressure-compensating aerators and high-efficiency flushometers that drop water use by up to 40 % while maintaining code-required flow. - Do you install grease interceptors for restaurants?
Yes. We size, install, and pump above-ground or in-ground interceptors to meet Suffolk County FOG ordinances and avoid costly fines. - How often should my backflow device be tested in Riverhead?
Local code requires annual certification by a licensed tester. Ocean Air schedules this automatically for maintenance-plan clients. - Will switching to tankless water heaters disrupt current operations?
Not with Ocean Air’s phased approach. We stage installs during low-traffic hours, maintain temporary hot-water supply, and handle all gas & venting permits. - Can you help with water-saving rebate paperwork?
Yes. Our admin team coordinates with PSEG Long Island and NYSERDA to secure available incentives for high-efficiency fixtures and hot-water systems.
