Common NYC Plumbing Problems We Fix

Constantly Running Toilet

The most common NYC apartment complaint. Usually a worn flapper, faulty fill valve, or chain that's too short. Most fixes take 20-30 minutes.

Low Water Pressure

Could be a clogged aerator (cheap fix), corroded supply lines, or a building-wide issue. We diagnose first, then fix what's in your unit.

Sink That Drains Slowly

Often hair, soap scum, or grease buildup. We snake the line mechanically — never chemicals that damage pre-war pipes.

Burst or Frozen Pipes

A NYC winter classic. We thaw, repair, and insulate to prevent it from happening again. Emergency same-day service available.

Transparent NYC Pricing

> Service calls start at $89 for a 1-hour minimum. Most simple repairs (faucet, toilet, drain clear) finish within the hour. Larger jobs get a flat-rate quote upfront — no surprises, no upsells.

We provide a written quote before any work begins. If you don't approve the price, you pay only the $89 trip charge.
