We work around your academic calendar, your occupied classrooms, and your summer shutdown windows. When school is in session, we minimize disruption. When school is out, we get the big work done.

School Plumbing Has Compliance Obligations Most Contractors Don't Know About.
California's AB 2370 requires lead-in-water testing at all public schools and childcare facilities. Backflow assemblies protecting potable supply must be tested annually. Cafeteria grease traps require documented service with state manifests. ADA-compliant fixtures are required in restrooms, classrooms, and common areas. And all of this has to be done on a campus where students and staff are present most of the year.
We've spent 29 years in commercial plumbing, working on multi-building properties across Southern California with the same compliance and documentation demands that schools face. The systems are familiar — drain and sewer, backflow, water heaters, fixture replacement, grease traps. The difference is the calendar. We plan the big work for summer and breaks, handle emergencies during the school year, and deliver documentation that satisfies your district office and your state reporting requirements.
Annual backflow testing is a state mandate for schools — we handle testing, certification, and county filing across multi-building campuses.
29 Years of Multi-Building Commercial Work.
Annual testing, certification, and repair across commercial properties. Schools often have multiple backflow assemblies per campus — domestic supply, irrigation, kitchen, and fire suppression. We test all of them and file with the county.
Across 62,000+ documented work orders. On a school campus, an incomplete work order during summer break means the problem is still there when students return. We close what we open.
Commercial plumbing is all we've done since 1997. No residential side jobs, no divided focus. Every system, process, and technician is built for commercial properties.
The Plumbing Services Schools and Campuses Need Most.
School campuses touch every plumbing service line — drain and sewer, backflow, water heaters, grease systems, leak detection, and emergency response. We handle all of it around your academic calendar.
Backflow Testing & Repair
Annual compliance testing for domestic, irrigation, kitchen, and fire suppression backflow assemblies. Schools often have multiple devices per campus. We test every assembly, file with the county, and deliver a compliance report for your district records.
Drain & Sewer Service
Restroom drains, cafeteria floor drains, mainline sewer, and storm lines. Camera inspection to diagnose problems, hydro-jetting to clear them, and documented findings your facilities team can use for capital planning.
Water Heater Service
Repair, replacement, and maintenance for central and point-of-use water heaters serving restrooms, cafeterias, science labs, and locker rooms. Permitted installation with code-compliant gas and water connections.
Cafeteria Grease Trap
Licensed pumping, cleaning, and state manifest documentation for school cafeteria grease interceptors. Recurring service scheduled around the academic calendar — with documentation that satisfies your sewer authority and district compliance records.
Water Leak Detection
Non-invasive electronic detection for supply lines, slab leaks, and concealed piping. Aging school buildings often have leaks behind walls and under floors that waste water and cause hidden damage. We find the source before we open the wall.
Emergency Response
24/7 dispatch with a 2-hour P1 response target. Sewer backups in occupied buildings, water main breaks flooding a campus, gas leaks near classrooms — the problems that can't wait for a scheduled visit.
The Educational Facilities We Work With.
K–12 School Districts
Multi-campus districts with aging buildings, shared maintenance teams, and bond-funded capital improvement programs. We work across multiple school sites under a single vendor agreement — consistent service, consolidated invoicing, and documentation organized by campus for district reporting.
Universities & Colleges
Multi-building campuses with centralized facilities departments, dormitory plumbing, lab and science building drainage, cafeteria grease systems, athletic facility locker rooms, and campus-wide backflow compliance. We coordinate across buildings and departments.
Community Colleges & Trade Schools
Older campus infrastructure with deferred maintenance, high-traffic restrooms, vocational shop drainage, and cafeteria systems. Summer and intersession breaks are the window for major work — we plan and execute within those timelines.
Private Schools & Childcare Facilities
Smaller campuses with the same compliance requirements. Lead-in-water testing under AB 2370, backflow compliance, ADA fixture standards, and the need for a responsive plumber who can work around young students. Documentation and safety protocols are non-negotiable.
Compliance & Summer Programs.
What School Facilities Teams Are Responsible For
California requires testing of all drinking water outlets at public schools and licensed childcare facilities. Fixtures exceeding action levels must be remediated — with documentation that satisfies state reporting requirements.
Annual backflow testing of all assemblies protecting potable water supply from irrigation, kitchen, lab, and fire suppression connections. Lapsed tests can result in water service notices from your local authority.
School cafeterias with grease interceptors must maintain documented service records with state manifests. Sewer authorities audit these records — undocumented service is treated the same as no service.
Restrooms, drinking fountains, and classroom sinks must meet current ADA standards. Fixture heights, valve types, and mounting clearances are all regulated. Modernization projects and new construction must comply.
Summer & Break Programs
Major work scheduled for the summer break — repipe programs, mainline sewer replacement, restroom renovations, water heater replacement, and ADA upgrades. We plan the scope in spring and execute when campus is empty.
Winter and spring breaks for mid-year maintenance — drain cleaning, camera inspections, backflow testing, and water heater service. Shorter windows, but enough time for recurring maintenance and targeted repairs.
When something fails during the school year, we respond with 24/7 dispatch and a 2-hour P1 target. We work around occupied classrooms, coordinate with your front office, and contain the problem before it disrupts the school day.
Camera inspection reports, pipe condition assessments, and repair histories organized by campus and building. The documentation your facilities team needs to justify bond-funded capital improvement requests.
Need a Plumber Who Works on a School Calendar?
We'll assess your campus plumbing infrastructure, review your compliance status, and scope any deferred maintenance — with a written report your facilities director or district office can use for planning and budgeting.
The Contractor Campus Facilities Teams Trust.
We manage facilities across eight school sites in our district. California Coast Plumbers handles the backflow testing, cafeteria grease traps, and drain maintenance at all of them — one vendor agreement, one rate sheet, and documentation organized by campus so our district office can pull compliance records without chasing paperwork.
Director of Maintenance & Operations • K–12 School District, OC
We needed to replace water heaters in three buildings and repipe the restrooms in our oldest wing — all during a six-week summer window. CCP planned the scope in April, had materials staged by June, and completed everything before teachers returned for setup week. That's the kind of timeline discipline you need when the academic calendar is non-negotiable.
Facilities Manager • Private School Campus, South OC
We had a mainline backup on a Monday morning with 2,000 students on campus. CCP had a technician on-site within an hour, cleared the line, and camera'd it to confirm it was clean. The restrooms were back open before lunch. That kind of response is why they're our first call — during the school year and during summer projects.
Campus Operations • Community College, Orange County
One Contractor for Your Entire Campus.
Whether you manage a single school site or a district with dozens of campuses, we bring the same standards to every job: documented field work, compliance-grade reporting, and a named contact for your facilities team.
