Licensed and insured plumbers serving Brooklyn since 2012. Free written estimates on every job — call (929) 605-5967 any hour, any day.
One company for everything with a pipe attached to it, from a dripping vanity in Bay Ridge to a collapsed sewer lateral in Canarsie.
A slow tub in a Midwood rowhouse usually means the cast iron stack is closing up, not that you need another bottle of drain chemical. We clear the actual blockage and show you the proof.
No hot water in a two-family on a January morning gets old by 7am. We diagnose failed elements, bad thermocouples, and leaking tanks, and we'll tell you straight if a repair still makes sense.
When a fifteen-year-old tank starts weeping rust at the seams, replacement beats another patch. We size, set, vent, and file the paperwork for tank and tankless units across Brooklyn.
Most Brooklyn laterals are clay or cast iron laid before your grandparents were born, and the street trees know it. We camera the line, locate the break, and fix it from your foundation wall to the city main.
That brown ring on the parlor ceiling started somewhere, and guessing costs you plaster. Acoustic gear and thermal imaging let us find the leak without opening every wall in the house.
A running toilet quietly doubles your water bill. A corroded shower valve in a 1928 Bensonhurst semi tests your patience every morning. We handle repairs, fixture swaps, and full renovation rough-ins.
Grease is the number one killer of Brooklyn kitchen drains, and disposals jam at the worst possible moment. We service everything under the counter, from the trap to the dishwasher hookup.
Burst pipes don't check the clock, and neither do we. Calls to (929) 605-5967 get answered around the clock, every day of the year.
Gas piping isn't a handyman job anywhere, least of all in New York City. We install, repair, and pressure-test gas lines with the permits and inspections the DOB requires.
The service line from the city main to your house belongs to you, and in Brooklyn it's often galvanized or even lead. When it fails, we locate the break, then repair or replace the line.
Call (929) 605-5967 or send the form. A real person gets back to you within 24 hours, usually a lot faster than that.
A licensed plumber looks at the problem in person and hands you a written price before any work starts. Not an estimate range that triples later. The price.
We do the job, test it, and leave your home the way we found it. Drop cloths and shoe covers aren't optional on our crews.
Every job runs under a NYC licensed master plumber, which the city requires for permitted work.
Liability and workers' comp protect your property and everyone working on it.
A burst pipe at 3am gets answered exactly like a call at noon.
You'll know the price in writing before we touch a wrench.

If you're in Brooklyn, you're in our service area.
(929) 605-5967The first real downpour of July, and a finished basement on East 24th Street in Midwood is taking on water through the floor drain. Not clean water, either. Brooklyn runs on combined sewers — stormwater and sewage share the same pipes — and when the system surcharges, the lowest drain in the house is where it announces itself. The homeowner stands on the stairs with a phone in one hand and a squeegee in the other, watching the carpet go.
We've taken that call more times than we can count.
Brooklyn Plumber Co has worked out of Nostrand Avenue since 2012, and most of what we do comes down to one thing: old housing meeting modern demand. The brownstones of Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights went up in the 1890s. The Victorian frames of Ditmas Park, the 1920s brick semis of Bensonhurst and Midwood, the postwar capes out in Flatlands — all of them are still running on some mix of galvanized supply pipe, cast iron waste stacks, and clay sewer laterals that were never meant to serve a house cut into three apartments with two dishwashers and a washing machine. And here's something most people get wrong: New York City water is soft. It comes down from upstate reservoirs carrying almost no mineral load, so scale isn't the villain here the way it is on Long Island well water. Age is the villain. Galvanized pipe rusts shut from the inside. Cast iron rots along the bottom of horizontal runs. Clay joints let roots in.
That's the borough we plumb every day, from Emergency Plumbing calls at 2am to scheduled Drain Cleaning visits booked a week out.
Some jobs punish shortcuts. Your sewer lateral runs from the foundation wall, under the front yard and sidewalk, out to the city main — and every foot of it is your responsibility, not the DEP's. On older blocks it's vitrified clay laid in short sections with a joint every few feet, and the London planes lining streets off Ocean Parkway send roots straight through those joints. Down near Jamaica Bay it's a different problem: Canarsie, Mill Basin, and Gerritsen Beach sit largely on filled marshland, the sandy soil settles, and lines develop bellies where waste collects. Our Sewer Line Repair work starts with a camera every single time, because digging on a guess in Brooklyn means opening a sidewalk you didn't need to open.
Gas is its own category. National Grid delivers it, but only a licensed master plumber can legally work on the piping in your home, and for good reason. Our Gas Line Service includes pressure testing, DOB filings, and inspection sign-off. If you ever smell rotten eggs, leave first and call from the sidewalk.
Water heaters look simple until you're wrestling a 40-gallon tank up through a cellar hatch on East 19th Street. In NYC, even a like-for-like swap is supposed to be filed by a licensed plumber, and venting an atmospheric unit into a century-old chimney is where corner-cutters create carbon monoxide problems. Water Heater Installation and Water Heater Repair are daily work for us, done to code, sized for how your household actually uses hot water.
Honest answer: it depends, and anyone quoting a firm number before seeing the job is guessing with your money. Here's what actually moves a Brooklyn plumbing quote.
Access and severity come first. A trap swap under an open cellar sink is quick work. The same leak buried inside a plaster wall on the parlor floor of a Park Slope brownstone is a different job entirely, because getting to the pipe takes longer than fixing it. Pipe material and the age of the house matter too — old galvanized crumbles when you put a wrench on it, so a "small" repair can grow the moment the pipe is touched, and we'd rather warn you about that up front than surprise you after.
Then there's parts, timing, and paperwork. Emergency calls at 3am cost more than scheduled visits. Jobs that need DOB filings, or a DOT permit to open the sidewalk over a sewer or water service, carry city fees we pass through at cost.
What we can promise: the estimate is free, it's in writing, and nothing happens until you approve it.
Here's how the full lineup plays out in real Brooklyn homes. Drain Cleaning is the everyday call — and in pre-war houses, half the "mystery clogs" trace back to the old house trap buried near the front wall. Sewer Line Repair picks up where drain cleaning finds real damage, and for basements that flood every time a storm parks over the borough, we install backwater valves. Water Heater Repair keeps aging tanks alive; Water Heater Installation replaces them when the math stops working. Leak Detection saves brownstone owners from tearing out plaster on a hunch.
Bathroom Plumbing runs from a flapper swap to full renovation rough-ins in gut jobs. Kitchen Plumbing is grease lines, disposals, and dishwasher hookups. Water Line Repair handles the buried service from the main, including replacing the lead lines still feeding some older Brooklyn homes. Gas Line Service covers ranges, dryers, and heaters with proper testing. And Emergency Plumbing is the thread through all of it — the phone gets answered at any hour, period.
Check the license. NYC requires a licensed master plumber for permitted work, and you can verify a license on the DOB website in about a minute. Ask for a certificate of insurance too — liability and workers' comp both — because an uninsured guy falling off a ladder in your hallway becomes your problem.
Get the scope in writing. Materials, what's included, what triggers a change.
And be careful with the lowest bid. In our experience it usually means one of two things: the price grows through change orders once the walls are open, or the permit never gets pulled and you find out when you sell the house. If a plumber suggests you file a "homeowner permit" for gas or sewer work so they can skip the paperwork, walk away.
When you're ready for a straight answer and a written price, call Brooklyn Plumber Co at (929) 605-5967.
For emergencies we dispatch immediately, and most Brooklyn addresses see a truck within the hour depending on traffic and where you are in the borough. Standard appointments are usually same-day or next-day.
No. A plumber comes out, looks at the actual job, and hands you a written price for free. You decide from there.
It depends on access, pipe material, timing, and whether permits are involved, which is why we don't quote blind over the phone. The on-site estimate is free and in writing. No work starts until you approve it.
Yes. Our work runs under a NYC licensed master plumber, and we carry liability and workers' comp. Certificates of insurance are available on request.
We do. The phone at (929) 605-5967 is answered by a person 24/7, including Thanksgiving, and emergency crews run every day of the year.
All of Brooklyn, from Greenpoint down to Gerritsen Beach. Our shop is on Nostrand Ave near the Junction, so most of the borough is minutes away.
Every day - it's most of Brooklyn's housing stock. Old pipe needs careful handling because it can crumble under a wrench, and we'll give you an honest read on repairing versus repiping.
Both. Water heaters, fixtures, disposals, gas lines, backwater valves, full repipes - if it's new plumbing going in, we install it to code.
Yes, our workmanship guarantee is in writing. If something we repaired fails, we come back and make it right.
