Plumbing in the Foothill Boulevard Corridor

Foothill Boulevard is the main east-west commercial corridor of La Cañada Flintridge, running through the city’s commercial core from the Glendale-LCF border on the west to the Pasadena/Altadena border on the east. The corridor anchors the city’s retail and service businesses, grocery, restaurants, medical offices, personal services, and small commercial tenants, while the residential streets immediately north and south of Foothill Boulevard represent a cross-section of La Cañada Flintridge’s mid-century and later housing stock.

We serve both the commercial properties along Foothill Boulevard and the residential neighborhoods immediately adjacent to it. Commercial plumbing on the corridor involves restaurant grease interceptors, LACSD commercial connection requirements, backflow preventer testing, and tenant improvement plumbing for the retail and office tenants that cycle through the corridor’s commercial spaces. Residential plumbing in the streets behind the corridor reflects the standard LCF residential profile: aging supply systems, sewer lateral maintenance, and estate bathroom remodel work.

Foothill Boulevard’s restaurant tenants, cafes, dining establishments, and food service operations, require LACSD-compliant grease interceptors sized for their food service volume, commercial kitchen drain layouts configured for health code compliance, and commercial water heater capacity appropriate for the establishment size. We install and service grease interceptors for Foothill Boulevard restaurant tenants and coordinate with LACSD for commercial connection requirements. See our commercial plumbing page for the full scope.

Commercial properties on Foothill Boulevard with irrigation systems, food service connections, or other cross-connection points are required to have annual backflow preventer testing and certification filed with their applicable retail water utility. We perform certified backflow testing for commercial properties on the Foothill Boulevard corridor and file the passing certification report with the utility as part of the service. See our backflow testing and prevention page for detail.
