Our Comprehensive Plumbing Repair Services
Plumbing systems are complex, with many potential points of failure. Our experienced handymen have seen it all and are prepared to tackle any challenge. We provide a wide range of repair services to address the most common (and uncommon) issues faced by homeowners in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
Clogged Drain and Toilet Clearing
A clogged drain is one of the most frequent plumbing issues. Whether it’s in your kitchen sink, shower, or toilet, a blockage can bring your daily routine to a halt and create unsanitary conditions.
Kitchen sink clogs are typically caused by a buildup of grease, oil, and food particles. In bathrooms, hair and soap scum are the primary culprits for slow-draining showers and sinks. Toilets can become clogged by an excess of toilet paper, flushed sanitary products, or even foreign objects accidentally dropped in by a child.
For minor clogs, we use a professional-grade snake or auger. This tool enables us to break up or remove the obstruction without using harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes. For more severe or recurring blockages located deeper in your plumbing lines, we may recommend hydro-jetting. This method utilizes high-pressure water to scour the interior of your pipes, thoroughly clearing away years of accumulated sludge, grease, and debris.

Leaky Faucet and Fixture Repair
That constant drip, drip, drip isn't just annoying—it's a waste of water and money. A single leaky faucet can waste hundreds of gallons of water per year, driving up your utility bills.
Common Causes: Leaks are often caused by worn-out washers, O-rings, or seals. Over time, the constant friction and water pressure degrade these small but essential components. Mineral buildup from hard water can also corrode internal parts of the faucet, preventing a tight seal.
Our process starts with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact cause of the leak. We turn off the water supply to the fixture, then carefully disassemble it. We replace any worn components like washers, gaskets, or O-rings with high-quality parts. If corrosion is the issue, we may need to replace the valve seat or the entire faucet cartridge. After reassembly, we test the faucet thoroughly to ensure the leak is completely resolved.
Leaky Pipe Repairs
A leaking pipe is a serious problem that requires immediate attention. Even a small, slow drip can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage over time. Pipes can leak for various reasons. Corrosion is common in older metal pipes. High water pressure can put undue stress on fittings and joints, causing them to fail prematurely. In Long Island, freezing temperatures in winter can cause water inside pipes to expand and crack them.
The first step is to locate the exact source of the leak. We then shut off the main water supply to prevent further water damage. For small pinhole leaks in copper or PVC pipes, we can sometimes apply a temporary clamp or sleeve as a short-term fix. However, the best long-term solution is to cut out the damaged section of the pipe and replace it with a new piece, using secure, professional-grade fittings. We ensure the new section is properly sealed and test the system under pressure before turning your water back on.
Leaking Toilet or Toilet is Running Constantly
A running toilet is a silent water waster, capable of consuming hundreds of gallons per day. Other toilet issues, like leaks at the base, can cause serious water damage to your floor and subfloor. A running toilet is almost always due to a faulty component inside the tank. A worn-out flapper, an incorrectly set float, or a failing fill valve are the most common culprits. Leaks around the base of the toilet typically indicate a failed wax ring, which is responsible for creating the seal between the toilet and the drainpipe.
We begin by diagnosing the problem inside the tank. We’ll test the flapper for a proper seal and adjust or replace the fill valve and float mechanism as needed. These are quick and inexpensive repairs that have a major impact. If the wax ring has failed, we will need to turn off the water, drain the toilet, and carefully remove it. We then scrape away the old wax, install a new, high-quality wax ring, and securely reset the toilet, ensuring a watertight seal.
Sump Pump Repair and Installation
For homeowners with basements, a sump pump is a critical defense against flooding. A failed pump during a heavy rainstorm can result in a disaster. Sump pump failure is often due to a stuck switch, a clogged intake, or simple motor burnout. Power outages are another common reason for failure, which is why a battery backup is so important.
We troubleshoot the entire sump pump system. We’ll check the float switch for proper operation, clear any debris from the pump and the pit, and test the motor. We can repair or replace faulty switches and check valves. If your pump has failed, we can quickly install a new one. We can also install a battery backup system to ensure your basement stays dry even if the power goes out.
Water Heater Repair and Maintenance
Your water heater works hard every day. When it fails, you’re left with cold showers and no hot water for washing dishes or clothes. Common issues include a lack of hot water, which can be caused by a faulty heating element (electric) or a pilot light issue (gas). Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank can reduce efficiency, create strange noises, and lead to premature failure. Leaks can develop from the tank itself or from the connecting pipes and valves.
Our technicians are experienced with both gas and electric water heaters. We will diagnose the problem, whether it's replacing a thermocouple on a gas unit or a heating element and thermostat on an electric one. We also perform essential maintenance, such as flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, which can extend the life of your unit and improve its efficiency. If we find a leak originating from the tank itself, it unfortunately often means the unit needs to be replaced, and we can advise you on the best course of action.
