A commercial plumbing failure is a business problem, not just a plumbing problem. A kitchen line backing up during dinner service, a restroom out of order when clients are in the building, a water heater that failed before the morning rush — these cost you revenue and reputation, not just repair money. MQ Plumbing works on commercial properties across Charlotte and the surrounding metro. We respond quickly, work around your schedule, and stay reachable from the first call through the final inspection.

Restaurants & Food Service

Grease traps, commercial dishwasher connections, three-compartment sink installations, floor drains, high-capacity water heaters, and prep sink plumbing. Restaurant plumbing has specific code requirements — grease trap sizing, commercial-grade fixture ratings, health department compliance timelines. We know the requirements and build the inspection schedule into the project from day one.

Offices & Retail Upfits

Restroom rough-ins and fixture installations, break room and kitchenette plumbing, water filtration, water heater replacement, and full plumbing scopes for tenant upfits. We coordinate directly with your general contractor and other trades, pull permits through the correct jurisdiction, and don't create scheduling problems for the rest of the build.

Commercial Water Heaters

High-capacity tank, tankless, and heat pump systems sized for commercial demand. An undersized unit costs you in cold water complaints and premature failure; an oversized one wastes energy. We calculate the right unit for your actual hot water load and install it to code.

Repairs & Emergency Response

Leaks, backups, pressure problems, and fixture failures. Commercial properties can't wait a week for a service call. We prioritize emergency commercial calls and give you an honest timeline when you call.

Working with Contractors and Property Managers

The most common complaint we hear from general contractors and property managers about plumbing contractors: they’re responsive at the estimate stage and impossible to reach once the job starts. Calls go unanswered. Schedules slip without notice. Change orders appear after the work is already done.

We work differently. Max stays directly involved on commercial projects — you get a direct line, not a dispatcher. When something comes up mid-project (and on commercial jobs, something always does), you hear about it before it becomes a scheduling problem for the next trade. Written quotes before every phase of work. Permits pulled, inspections coordinated, paperwork handled on our end.

Permits and Inspection - Handled

Every commercial plumbing project in Mecklenburg County and surrounding jurisdictions requires permits. We pull them, coordinate with the inspector, and make sure the work passes before walls close or the space opens. For GCs managing a full build schedule, a failed inspection or a permit pulled late can hold up the entire project. We build the inspection timeline into the schedule from day one — it’s not an afterthought.

Not sure which fits your situation?

Call us and we'll walk through it — no obligation, no sales pitch.

MQ Plumbing is truly the best out there . Plumbers who came were professional and did a great job to replace the water heater . Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. They were polite, wore shoe covers to protect my floor, and explained the pricing upfront . Price was reasonable Highly recommended.

Max and his crew did an excellent job replacing my water heater. It was in tight quarters and they protected walls and flooring. The installation of the piping was nice and clean. They did a good job of cleaning up when they were finished.

Max and Peter at MQ Plumbing are the real deal! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and on time from start to finish. They quickly addressed the issue, explained everything clearly, and delivered top quality work at a very reasonable price. Honest, reliable, and skilled, hard to find service like this nowadays! They had my basement sump pump up and running in less than half an hour. I highly recommend MQ Plumbing.

We recently completed our basement project and hired MQ Plumbing for our full bathroom and whole-house water filtration system, and they did an outstanding job. The bathroom turned out beautiful with amazing attention to detail and high-quality workmanship. Our family is extremely happy with the final result. The whole-house Aquasana filtration system was also installed very neatly and professionally with a super clean and organized piping layout. Max was one of the best contractors we worked with during this project. He is professional, patient, and truly listens to every detail before starting the work. Unlike some contractors who become less responsive once the project begins, Max stayed responsive throughout and even came back twice after completion to make sure there were no leaks and that we were fully satisfied. You can clearly see that he takes pride in his work and cares about customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend MQ Plumbing and would definitely call Max again for any future plumbing needs.

Max was a great communicator and helped fixed a pressure valve. He raised the issue with us and explained to us the impact of not fixing. He was very professional and reasonable. Highly recommend his services!

Max is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He did a great job with all the plumbing work in our new build and was happy to help with additional changes and upgrades we requested. Everything from start to finish was precise and quality work. Would definitely recommend him for your new home plumbing work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on restaurants and food service facilities?
Yes. Restaurant plumbing is a specific category with its own code requirements — grease trap sizing, commercial fixture ratings, health department approval processes. We know the requirements and work with your inspection timeline.
Can you work outside of business hours to minimize disruption?
For most situations, yes. Tell us your schedule constraints when you call — we work around them when we can, and we're honest when we can't.
Do you provide written estimates for commercial projects?
Always. No work begins without a written quote you've approved. On larger projects, we scope by phase so you know what each stage costs before it starts.
Are you licensed for commercial work in both North Carolina and South Carolina?
Yes. MQ Plumbing is licensed and insured in both states and permitted through the relevant county authorities on every job that requires it.
Can you work directly with my general contractor?
Yes — and we prefer it. Direct communication between trades is what keeps a commercial project on schedule. We coordinate rough-in timing, inspection scheduling, and scope changes directly with your GC.
