Best Plumbing Services in New York, NY

I own a 110 year-old house in Brooklyn.  I have lived here for 33 years.
Our clay sewer pipes are as old as the house and we were tired of late night sewer clog emergencies. So, after 33 years of procrastination, we decided to do the big-dig and have our main sewer line replaced.

In Brooklyn, I found two companies that specialize in Sewer Main replacement I selected Main Man Water Works because they had a higher yelp rating than the other company and my next door neighbor had good results when they used Main Man Water Works to replace their sewer main.  We called Scott, Main Man's master plumber, scheduled an estimate the same week, and started the work by the following week.  

The sewer main replacement took two days, from start to finish.  They were able to tunnel under our front steps and front porch so both survived the ordeal undamaged.  (Hip, hip hurray!!) The new sewer line was installed and working on the first day.  On the second day, the job was finished, including hooking up an active storm drain into the sewer line (somehow skipped on the first day), replacing the cement walkway, and replacing a small section of cement floor that had to be removed in the basement near the pipe traps.

For the main job, the installation of the sewer-main, they know their stuff inside-and-out, and that part was worry-free.  The second day was also ok, but we had to ask them correct a few of the finishing details.

For clarity, here are the finishing details we had ask them to correct.  We had to ask them to spend more time tamping (packing down) the filled soil.  Extra tamping takes more time & delays pouring the cement walkway, but reduces the risk of a sinking, sagging walkway in a few years. When pouring the cement, they initially left out the expansion joints and we had to ask them to add expansion joints (heavy felt strips) in the cement in order to reduce risk of future cracking.  Finally, when restoring the pit for the sewer trap, they were initially going to make the pit twice as large. At our request, they moved the wood backer-boards before pouring the cement and restored the pit to approximately the original size.

In summary, their work is very good, but be prepared to oversee and correct some of the finishing details near the end of the job.

I had a leak in the basement from a broken pipe. Responded quickly to request for a quote. Showed up and did a great job for a fair price. Highly recommend to anyone in need of plumbing service

Star Cities only has one plumber, that is Robert. His price quotes are the highest and his troubleshooting inspections always result with replacing everything instead of correcting the problem that he caused.
I used him once, paid through the nose and will never call Star Cities again.

Eddie and his team were excellent: prompt, professional, and knowledgeable!

Despite it being New Year's Day when I contacted Eddie, he responded in less than an hour and came out the next day to diagnose our problem (dead water heater). Since we opted to use him for the repair, Eddie did not charge us for the diagnostic fee. He is knowledgeable about the different water heater brands, and I feel confident with the product he recommended and installed.

For both the diagnostic visit and the repair, Eddie kept me updated via text on his estimated arrival time and was always punctual. The team installed the new water heater very quickly. The price was quoted up front, and there were no surprises when the work was completed.

In terms of COVID precautions - the team wore masks and gloves while they were in my apartment.

They did the job quickly,  efficiently and professionally.  They communicated and explained everything that need to be done. I especially liked that Mike was respectful and wore a mask when speaking with my family.  I highly recommend Austin Plumbing and Heating.

Pete and James were respectful, punctual and efficient. I had an issue with my steam heat system and they came and diagnosed and fixed the problem under an hour. They provided an abundance of information while they were here. I will be using them again.

My hot water heater had a leak from both incoming and outgoing pipes and needed a help. Guillermo was very prompt and gave me clear information about the issue. He was able come 1 hr earlier than the scheduled time, fixed the problem in about an hour. Maximo team is highly recommended.

I have an older home and have had problems with the plumbing etc. Downtown Plumbing & Heating returned my call promptly and dispatched their technicianto my home; he arrived in great time. Tyquon was very helpful and informative in explaining repairs to resolve the problem. I am very happy to have this ongoing process resolved by downtown plumbing and heating!

Would absolutely recommend Colin for your plumbing needs.  He showed up the same day I called him, just a couple of hours later, to fix 3 separate minor plumbing problems we were having in our apartment related to our kitchen sink and washer/dryer.  He was kind, polite, and explained everything clearly, which I appreciated.  Because of the pandemic he also wore a mask (properly over his nose, I would add) and shoe covers.  He worked quickly and had reasonable rates.  Highly recommend!

We had an incredibly positive experience with Blaustein Plumbing. We have custom, European plumbing fixtures (installed by previous owners) that are so specialized many plumbers don't understand how to fix them. I was recommended Blaustein Plumbing by a Plumbing and Hardware store that sells the specialized parts we needed. They charged a VERY reasonable (relatively speaking) flat fee per hour and are far more experienced and knowledgeable compared to other plumbers I've worked with. They're also super courteous, in addition to the mask, they put booties on before entering the apartment, gave me advice on how my building's super could fix certain items or issues (so I wouldn't have to spend the money calling a plumber). It was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend this plumber.

Samir was great to work with. We needed to make space in our kitchen for a dishwasher installation (which included putting a new outlet in and taking out some cabinets). Samir was super responsive and easy to work with. Scheduling was a breeze and he came and did the job in an afternoon. The price for the job was really fair and better than all of the other quotes we got. Samir is also a really nice guy. I couldn't recommend him highly enough and we are very happy with our new dishwasher!

Super friendly. They had understaff issues the day I had an appointment, but they rectified the situation right away and had someone come out asap. I was pet sitting for the apt owner's, and they needed their sink faucet replaced and bath tub re-caulked. After he was done he cleaned everything up and took down a the trash.

When the apt owners saw the sink, they were super pleased that he fixed the water pressure without me even asking him. However, they noticed that the handle was on the wrong side. Whoops, also my fault for not catching that.

I called them up and scheduled a time for them to come back. They showed up on time and quickly fixed the handle free of charge. They were also great with the dog that lives there :). Support this family owned business. The customer service is great, and their prices are decent.

Best service Ive ever had from a business.I had a problem with the DEP not accepting my backflow test results due to the initial test being filled out incorrectly by a Build it Back architect,Tom and his staff did all the legwork contacting all the parties involved and rectified the situation.They saved me a lot of money in fines,And also saved me from having to hire another architect.They asked for nothing in return,even though they spent alot of time and energy on my case.

The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.  They have just about any plumbing part you can imagine in stock

With everything going on pandemic-wise, they were very communicative and responsive, making it easier to schedule an appointment. They showed up an diagnosed the issues very quick. Very professional and fast workers.

This was the best service I ever got while being a homeowner! Fast and reasonable service I will definitely call them for any of my plumbing issues!

Hands down these guys are the best at what they do. I wouldn't think of using anyone else. Mike is very professional and sincere.

Really rude and unhelpful. Just needed one part and they were going to charge extra bs fees for handling. Do yourself a favor and buy exactly what you need online
