Austin Plumbing & Heating
NYC Licensed Master Plumber
Plumbing Services
Residential plumbing in New York City is not the same as plumbing anywhere else. Buildings are older, systems are more complex, and code compliance is stricter. Unpermitted work that surfaces during a future sale or refinancing costs far more to correct retroactively than doing it right the first time. Austin Plumbing & Heating handles residential plumbing for NYC homes, from a leaking faucet to a full-building repipe, with Licensed Master Plumber oversight on every job.
Core residential plumbing work for homes with active leaks, aging piping, low pressure, or failing shutoffs.
Water intrusion, pinhole copper pipe failures, deteriorating galvanized steel supply lines, and leaking waste connections — located and repaired. We use camera inspection and pressure testing where needed to pinpoint sources behind walls and under slabs without unnecessary demolition.
Pre-war Brooklyn and Queens homes have plumbing installed before most current code existed. Galvanized steel lines reduced to nearly nothing inside. Cast iron drain lines rusted through. We assess honestly and replace what needs replacing — not just the section that's currently leaking.
Failed house-side shutoffs, leaking branch valves, worn angle stops, and aging water service piping are common in older NYC homes. We repair or replace the components that keep the home serviceable and let future work happen without surprises.
Low water pressure, pressure fluctuations, and water hammer. We diagnose the source — failing pressure reducing valve, undersized supply lines, expansion tank problems, or utility-side conditions — and resolve it correctly.
Everyday residential plumbing work that needs to be installed cleanly, tested properly, and left ready to use.
Faucets, toilets, showers, tub/shower valves, bidets, and garbage disposals — installed correctly with proper connections, code-required clearances, and supply shutoffs that actually work. We test everything before we leave the property.
Running toilets, leaking faucets, worn cartridges, failed flush valves, shower valve issues, and tub waste leaks are fixed with the right parts and proper shutoff control, not temporary patchwork.
Garbage disposal replacement, sink drain rework, trap replacement, dishwasher connections, and under-sink plumbing corrections for kitchens that have outgrown the original setup or were assembled poorly.
Washing machine connections, laundry sink plumbing, utility sink installs, and replacement of old washing machine hoses or valves that are one failure away from a flood.
Residential system work that affects comfort, safety, and the parts of the home most owners do not want to think about twice.
Tank and tankless water heater replacement for residential properties. We confirm proper venting, size the unit correctly for the household's demand, and file DOB permits for gas-fired replacements. Same-day installations often available.
Intermittent hot water, slow recovery, inconsistent temperatures, burner lockouts, and scaling or venting issues on residential hot water systems — diagnosed before owners spend money on the wrong replacement.
Gas line repairs, appliance connections, extensions, and new runs for stoves, dryers, and residential equipment. All gas work requires DOB filing by a Licensed Master Plumber, and we handle the permit path where required.
Basement sump pumps, sewage ejector pumps, discharge piping, and float switch issues for homes where lower-level flooding or below-grade plumbing fixtures make pump reliability critical.
When the problem is actively damaging the house or leaving the home without critical plumbing, speed matters.
Burst pipes, active flooding, failed shutoffs, overflowing fixtures, and plumbing failures that can't wait for a standard service window.
Permit and compliance note
NYC requires DOB permits for more residential plumbing work than most homeowners realize — water heater replacements on gas lines, significant pipe replacements, any work that alters the drain/waste/vent system. Work done without permits surfaces as a violation during future sales or refinancing inspections, and retroactive permit corrections cost more than doing it right from the start.
We file permits where required, and we tell you when a permit is required before we start the work — not after.
