Licensed & insured · Master Plumber #2187-NY
Water obeys.
A plumber on the Upper West Side who answers the phone at 3 a.m. and shows up with the right part in the van. We work the brownstones, pre-wars, and co-ops from 72nd to 110th — risers, radiators, boilers, and the cast-iron stacks nobody else wants to touch.
The call
You call. We're already awake.
Most of our work starts with a phone ringing at an hour nobody wants. A supply line letting go behind a vanity on West 88th. A radiator valve weeping onto a parquet floor in a 1904 brownstone. A co-op board calling because the riser in the B-line is backing up into two apartments at once.
We keep two vans staged on the Upper West Side overnight, so the drive is usually under fifteen minutes. You get a real person on the line, a straight answer about what it'll cost, and a plumber who has almost certainly worked in your building before.
The work
Old buildings. Honest repairs.
Manhattan plumbing is a history lesson in copper, brass, galvanized steel, and no-hub cast iron — often all four in the same wall. We read the building before we cut into it, and we tell you when a repair is the right call and when it's just delaying a bigger bill.
No commission-driven upsells, no "while we're in there" pressure. If a $180 rebuild kit buys you five more years on a boiler, that's what we'll recommend.

What we're called for
Every job below is something we do weekly, not occasionally. Prices are the honest starting points we quote on the phone — the final number depends on access, parts, and how much of the wall has to come open.
