Where we work in the East Village

The East Village runs from Houston Street up to 14th Street, east of the Bowery and Third Avenue. Our shop is on 1st Avenue, in the middle of the neighborhood.

The East Village is full of tenement walk-ups and prewar apartment buildings, many with renovated kitchens and bathrooms built on top of original pipes. Shared risers carry water between floors, and boilers, valves and pipes are often tucked into tight closets and basements.

Walk-ups and tenements
Shared risers mean a leak in one apartment can show up in another. We trace it to the source.
Old meets new
New faucets and shower valves often connect to decades-old pipes. The joins between them need care.
Small basements
Boilers and water heaters squeezed into small basements and closets need careful access.
