Question Answers

My Brooklyn home has a sewer backup. Can you just clear it, or do you offer a more permanent fix?

We start by clearing the immediate backup to restore function. Given Brooklyn's aging sewer lines, we then perform a thorough camera inspection to identify the root cause—often a broken pipe or tree root intrusion. We offer both trenchless repair and full replacement options to create a long-term solution and prevent recurring backups.

I'm adding a bathroom in my brownstone but worry about old pipes causing leaks. How do you handle this?

This is a common concern. For any bathroom addition or remodel, we first assess the existing water supply and drain lines. We typically recommend replacing the old galvanized or lead pipes servicing the new space with modern, durable materials like PEX or copper. This integrates your new addition with a reliable system, protecting your investment from leaks common in older Brooklyn homes.

We need a new ADU or detached garage. Does your plumbing expertise help with these kinds of construction projects?

Absolutely. Our dual expertise is a major advantage. We handle the entire project—from foundation to roof—including all the complex plumbing work for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry. We ensure new water, gas, and sewer lines are sized correctly, installed to code, and properly connected to the main house, avoiding the infrastructure problems prevalent in the area.
