Best Plumbing Services in New York

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.

Our toilet had a stoppage in the middle of the night. After consulting with multiple plumbers, Akeim of Sturks Sewer Works was able to clear the blockage and get the toilet back into functional order at a very reasonable rate. Thank you so much Akeim!

It was a basic leak. The hot water valve was broken. That's all. These guys tried to make it seem more complicated than it was. Told me they had to smash the wall and completely put in new components. Quoted me at $3150..give me a break. The free consultation is the trap they lay to get you to trust them...

Building hired Eddie for a job to replace several water heaters and redo some venting and he was great.  It was a nice big job and he got paid and his guys did a good job...everyone's happy.

I call him back a couple of months later to come turn on a furnace in the same building.  Eddie was all friendly and says no problem, I'll be on it.  But nada, 1 week, i made a call almost each day to find out if he got to it yet and he said he would.  enough was enough, i straight up said why you give me the run around when you can't commit.  he then made an excuse i get 40-50 calls and it's 70 degree (when i was sub 60), blah blah.  Ok, i get it, it was a small job and i might be sensitive, but not once did Eddie call back to say he can't make it.  Each time it was me following up and each time he tried to play nice guy by saying he was on it, when he knew he didn't have the time.  Just be straight up man, i would have been ok if you were too busy.

I have been doing business with Austin Plumbing and Heating for nearly a decade.

I've had Michael work on several of my buildings. The scope of the work has ranged from large boilers, sewer site lines, lift stations and gas leaks.

I have been satisfied every time I've used Austin Plumbing and Heating. They have always completed work on time and within budget. The work they have done has always been up to code and passed inspection. I highly recommend them!

I had a substantial leak running down my wall, that started the night of a torrential rainstorm.  Had all manner of pros weigh in, and many just scratched their heads.  Were not listening to me when explaining the problem.  Platinum listened to me, found the problem and fixed it, and charged me way less than I thought it was going to be.  They were honest, informative and forthcoming with explanations on everything.  They will be my go to with any plumbing needs or issues in the future.  Call them you won't regret it.

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.

Called on a Tuesday at noon about my sink that wouldn't drain (despite me playing Mr Plumber to no avail).   Yuri came by at 2, spent an hour or more with mechanical snake thingy and I had greatest drainage speeds I've had in years.   Yuri also happily explained why an island sink always has challenges with draining (no air pipe) and I couldn't be happier with the service.  I think it cost $225, not sure if that's high or not but I have a larger project that Yuri took a look at and will likely use them again assuming pricing not ridiculous.

Excellent for a small plumbing job. Reasonable pricing and fast courteous professional service.

Excellent service ! The men are efficient , very professional , quick ,  thorough , polite . My plumbing issue was resolved beautifully . I've used this company prior to this problem and will continue to do so with any / all future plumbing troubles I'm sure to encounter . Hats off to James Bond & St Michael !

Samir and Antonio are a fantastic team. We had a few patches in our ceiling that needed to be repaired and they were both timely, responsive, professional and affordable. Finally a great contractor! I will absolutely be using S&A Quality Pro Services again in the future.

Great, fast, and friendly. I was a new customer with sewage coming up my kitchen sink. Gave them call at 8 am and they came out in less than an hour to fix my problem. Fixed it fast and the rate was not bad at all. I highly recommend them. Jay was great.

They provide exceptional and quick Backflow testing at a competitive price.  Tom went above and beyond to resolve additional issues arose after the testing. He is courteous and walked me through step by step to get the work done. Highly recommended to anyone who needs Backflow testing!

Appalling customer service even borderlining obnoxious for being busy I am just going to have to live with not having your business. Extremely disappointing from a customer service 20yr veteran perspective, a woman owned Construction Co in NY and them being recommended from a Successful GC friend....

We needed to replace a kitchen faucet and received a quick reasonably priced quote online. Set up an appointment and Oscar came to do the installation. He was very professional and very considerate of our safety as he came in with safety mask and footwear. He did the installation and it was very good and efficient and he addressed all our questions and concerns. After the service was done, we paid what the agreed quote and it came with a year of labor guarantee. Very happy with the service and we finally found our go to plumber and hvac servicer!

Rob is the man for all your drain and sewage needs. Called him and he was able to take care of my emergency same day and on a Sunday ! He diagnosed the issue right away and performed hydro jetting to clean the 30 ft of backup found in my home, which has so far worked like a charm. He is very responsive, knowledgeable, and explained to me very well what was going on. Thank you Rob!

I had a problem with a clog and had to find a plumber. I called up johns and within an hour had Michael a plumber that works for the company help out quickly and was priced fairly. I would definitely recommend them.

The plumber I received was extremely and unreasonably rude. Thought I should write a review about it. Tells me that he knows what he is doing and he in fact, did not. I needed 1 part replaced but he acted like it was life or death. I wouldn't use their service ever if I were you.
