Common Questions

Do you have insurance for Co-ops/Condos?

Yes. All our plumbers carry the necessary liability and workers' comp insurance required by NYC management companies. We can provide a COI (Certificate of Insurance) within hours.

Why is my radiator banging?

This is usually caused by trapped water meeting steam (water hammer) or a pitched radiator. We can fix this by replacing the air valve, adjusting the pitch, or checking the boiler pressure.

Can you fix a leak without destroying my wall?

We try our best. We use thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices to pinpoint leaks behind walls so we only open the smallest area necessary for repair.
