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.

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

I cannot say enough about the excellent work Star Cities did.  They were knowledgeable and could handle the entire project from finding the problem to doing all the work necessary to fix it and re-build my bathroom - demolition, tiling, waterproofing and doing the carpentry.  Excellent work, reasonable price and completed on-time. Thank you Robert!

Great guy fixed our shower leak, and draining sink issues replaced whole fixture and declogged it dealt with unusual plumbing that was in place reversed hoses and other stuff. Also very nice and accommodating with a nice sense of humor. Experienced plumber which quickly knows what tools and products he needed to not waste time, and quickly solve the problem. Accepts credit cards things cost about $100-200 for labor.

Thank you!

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.

We noticed a big water stain in our downstairs bathroom and immediately contacted Platinum again. They came as soon as they could two days later and spent almost FOUR hours looking for the problem and fixing it. Incredibly knowledgable and did whatever they had to in order to fix the leak (once they found it). They unfortunately had to cut into the ceiling and a tiled wall but were extremely neat about it and cleaned up after themselves. They even figured out exactly where to cut in the tile so I only have to replace one! Thank you Pete!!!

Very responsive. Did a great job. Prompt and clean. Reasonable pricing. Would definitely hire again

I've had Anthony at Downtown P&H visit my apartment/building multiple times and he's been an absolute pleasure to work with. He clearly cares about his job and the work he does. He's also happy to share his knowledge with you if you're interested. Quality work, quality people; don't hesitate to call these guys up!

I have relied on Colin's plumbing skills for the last two years.  He is an excellent plumber, reasonably priced, and cleans up after each project.  He communicated how long it will take and how much it will likely cost.  He is a friendly Irish-American you can count on.

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.

Great and affordable work... so I need to type 85 characters for this review and I don't feel like it. They're just great OK?

I found this company on Yelp on 6/22. They came the same day within 20 minutes, handled the problem I was having in no time and gave me a price. All within a span of no more than half an hour. Amazing! Howard, Brandon and Co., were all professional and polite. The reviews for this company are on point. They are who they say they are. I will definitely use their service in the future and will definitely recommend this company to others!!

prompt, efficient, and lower rate than what I was paying with another
company who this time was not returning my calls, which turn out to
be good.

One afternoon I was walking by and realize they sell Girl Scout cookies. Well, I don't need a single plumbing supply but  I was happy to find cookies. Costumer service was friendly and helpful and I didn't feel uncomfortable  being a woman walking in there. Head to DJ plumping for your Plumping and cookie needs. HAHA

Great company to work with! We had a sink and shower that had been clogged and hired Racso Plumbing and Heating for the job. They were very quick to reply to messages, offered a really affordable price, and the sink and shower were fixed very quickly! I would definitely recommend them and use them again!

Robert was great. He responded to my call immediately and scheduled an appt for next day to clear my kitchen clog.  Price was very reasonable. When he arrived, he explained everything he was going to do. He even updated some old parts and provided some recommendations on how to clean the drain periodically. He's my new go to plumber. I've also recommended him to my friends.

I called Cheap John's yesterday late afternoon and Eric showed up today as promised.  We had a nice conversation, they have lots of experience and he worked in the pouring rain as the sewer line outside was clogged.  It was a little bit more then the $59.95 they advertise but well worth it.  Still cheaper then the ridiculous estimate from the other nationally advertised chain who wanted $495 for the SAME work and offered to go down to $395 if I pay cash.  Cheap John was less than half of that.

Bought a portable dishwasher, and the device that connects to the sink didn't seem to fit my sink. I went to AE on the recommendation of a local hardware store that wasn't able to help me out.

Turns out, I wasn't doing it the right way and it did fit. They helped me out free of charge, despite the fact that I was a retail client instead of a contractor, who seem to be their typical customers. I appreciated the honesty and quick service!
