About Flow Star Plumbing and Heating in The Bronx, NY

In older Bronx buildings, bathroom drain buildup is often caused by a combination of soap scum, hair, and mineral deposits from our local water. Our approach involves a thorough inspection with specialized cameras to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage. We then use professional-grade hydro-jetting equipment to clear the pipes completely, which is more effective and longer-lasting than simple snaking. This method helps prevent the frequent backups many local residents experience.

For suspected leaks in older Bronx homes, we start with a non-invasive plumbing inspection using electronic leak detection equipment and pipe cameras. This allows us to locate the leak's source without unnecessary damage to your walls or floors. Once identified, our repair is tailored to the pipe material—whether it's galvanized steel, copper, or cast iron. We often recommend targeted pipe replacement with modern, durable materials like PEX or CPVC to prevent future corrosion and leaks, providing a reliable, long-term fix.

Our water heater installation service is comprehensive. We begin by assessing your household's hot water needs and your existing setup. Our licensed technicians handle the entire process: safely disconnecting and removing the old unit, preparing the location, installing the new water heater according to all NYC codes, and ensuring proper venting and pressure relief. We also perform a full system check for leaks and functionality before cleanup. We provide transparent pricing upfront, so you know exactly what to expect for a smooth upgrade.
