There is sufficient space in the basement to install a prep sink. Have a licensed plumber evaluate your establishment and submit a plumber's report on the cost and scope of installing a prep sink with an air gap or indirect connection to the waste water system.
In Plain English
The business had issues with hot or cold running water, plumbing, drains, backflow prevention, or sewage disposal. Some of these, like no hot water, can force a temporary closure until fixed.
