Included in your service:
Slow tubs and kitchen sinks that gurgle don't fix themselves. We snake, jet, and camera lines until they run clear.

Included in your service:
40 and 50 gallon tanks, tankless units, code-compliant swaps with old-unit haul-away.
Included in your service:
Steam and hot water boilers heat half of Brooklyn's housing stock. We repair them, and we replace them when repair stops making sense.

Brooklyn Plumber works out of 1406 Fulton St in Bed-Stuy and covers the whole borough, block by block.
The first sign is usually small. A kitchen sink that drains slower every week. A radiator that bangs at 6am. A water heater that gives you four good minutes, then goes cold. Small plumbing problems don't stay small in Brooklyn - not with prewar buildings, cast iron stacks pushing 80 or 90 years old, and galvanized supply lines that have been narrowing since the Dodgers left. The pipes here have history. Some of it is catching up.
Brooklyn Plumber is a local plumbing company based at 1406 Fulton St in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Our plumbers work in brownstones on Hancock and Halsey, walk-ups in Bushwick, new condo buildings along the Williamsburg waterfront, and everything in between. We know the quirks. One-pipe steam systems that hammer when the pitch is off. Kitchen stacks coated in decades of grease. Clay sewer laterals in Flatbush that tree roots treat like a buffet.
We handle the full range - Drain Cleaning, Water Heater Repair and Water Heater Installation, Boiler Repair and Installation, Gas Leak Detection and Repair, Sewer Line Repair and Replacement, and Emergency Plumbing at any hour. Licensed plumbers do the work. You get the price before it starts.
Every job begins with a real diagnosis, not a guess from the doorway. Call (929) 755-8936 and a plumber will look at the actual problem, explain what's going on, and quote the fix before any work begins.
Some plumbing calls are about comfort. These three are about safety and serious money, and Brooklyn Plumber treats them that way.
Gas comes first. If you smell gas, get out of the apartment, then call 911 or National Grid from outside. Once the utility makes the situation safe, that's where we come in. A locked meter doesn't unlock itself - the piping has to be repaired by a licensed plumber, pressure tested, and inspected before service is restored, and buildings can sit without cooking gas for months when that process stalls. Our plumbers handle Gas Leak Detection and Repair and new Gas Line Installation and Repair, and we keep the restoration process moving instead of letting it drift. Building owners dealing with Local Law 152 inspection deadlines can call us about that too.
Boilers are the second one. A huge share of Brooklyn runs on steam heat, and steam is its own animal. Radiators that stay cold on the top floor, pipes that bang like someone's in the basement with a wrench, a boiler that short cycles all night - these usually trace back to pitch, vents, water level, or a low water cutoff that's been ignored. We repair steam and hot water boilers, and when a boiler is genuinely done, we size the replacement to the building instead of just matching whatever was there. An oversized boiler wastes fuel every single day it runs.
Then there's the sewer lateral, the pipe you own between the house and the city main. In older sections of the borough that line is often clay, and clay pipe from the 1920s has joints that roots find. One backup might be a fluke. A backup every few months is a pattern, and the honest way to diagnose it is a camera, not a guess. We run Sewer Line Repair and Replacement starting with recorded camera footage, so if anyone ever tells you to excavate, you can see the reason with your own eyes first.
Everyone asks, and the honest answer is that it depends on things you can't see from the sidewalk. Here's what actually moves the number.
The job itself is the biggest factor. Snaking a bathroom sink is one visit with one machine. Hydro jetting a grease-choked kitchen stack in a six-unit building is a different job entirely, and excavating a collapsed sewer lateral is a different world. Same word - "clog" - three very different invoices.
Access matters more in Brooklyn than almost anywhere. A water heater swap in a wide detached basement is straightforward. The same swap up four flights of a narrow walk-up, through a hallway that was not designed for a 50 gallon tank, takes more time and more hands. Finished ceilings below a leak, shared walls, tenants to coordinate with - it all counts.
Building age plays its part too. Repairs on 90-year-old galvanized or cast iron sometimes reveal the next weak joint the moment the old one comes apart. An experienced plumber can usually see that risk coming and will tell you before it becomes a surprise on the bill.
Gas work and sewer replacements can involve permits and inspections, which add real cost but also protect you when you sell or refinance. Skipping them is the expensive option, just on a delay.
What we can promise on every job: a written price before work starts, and no "while we were in there" charges you didn't approve. Call (929) 755-8936 or send the form and get a number you can actually plan around.
The dramatic calls get the attention, but most of our week is regular plumbing done right.
Toilet Repair and Installation is constant work in a borough with this much prewar housing. A toilet that runs is quietly adding to your water bill every hour. One that rocks is slowly wrecking the floor under it. Both are quick fixes when they're handled early.
Leak Detection and Repair is part detective work. Water travels along joists and shows up two rooms away from the actual failure, so we trace the leak to its source before opening anything, and we open as little as possible. Pipe Repair and Repiping follows naturally from that - when the third pinhole shows up in the same copper run, or when galvanized lines have squeezed your shower down to a trickle, replacing the run beats patching it forever.
Faucet and Sink Repair rounds things out, along with Water Heater Installation for tanks that have hit the end. And for landlords and building managers, we handle the recurring stuff - heat and hot water complaints, tenant-reported leaks, gas range hookups between tenants - with documentation you can keep on file.
Commercial spaces too. Restaurants with grease-heavy drain lines, laundromats, barbershops, storefront churches - if it has water or gas running through it in Brooklyn, we've probably worked on one like it.
A few things worth knowing before you hand anyone your keys or your money.
Licensing isn't paperwork trivia in New York City. Gas work and most permitted plumbing must be performed by or under a licensed master plumber, and unlicensed gas work is the kind of shortcut that shows up later as a violation, an insurance problem, or worse. Ask about licensing before price. Any legitimate plumbing company answers that question without flinching.
Insurance is the second question, especially in attached housing where your plumbing problem can become your neighbor's ceiling. Brooklyn Plumber carries full coverage on every job.
For sewer work specifically: never approve excavation without seeing camera footage of your own line. Digging up a yard or a sidewalk is a big-ticket job, and the footage either justifies it or it doesn't. We record ours and you keep a copy.
Get the price in writing before work begins, and be a little suspicious of a number that's dramatically lower than everyone else's. In plumbing, the cheap quote often becomes the expensive job once the walls are open.
Last one - after a flood or a big backup, be wary of whoever knocks on the door first. Urgency is real, but so is the pressure play. A serious company gives you a diagnosis and a written price, then lets you decide.
