Call any time, day or night(212) 293-0494Where we work on the Lower East Side
The Lower East Side lies south of Houston Street and east of the Bowery. From our shop on 1st Avenue it's a short trip south across Houston.
The Lower East Side has some of the oldest housing in Manhattan, including historic tenement buildings, alongside newer apartment buildings. Plumbing in the oldest buildings has often been updated in stages, so a single apartment can contain pipes from several different eras.
- Pipes from many eras
- Updates made in stages mean mixed materials. We check what's there before we cut or join anything.
- Tight spaces
- Pipes and water heaters in small closets and basements need careful access to avoid opening walls.
- Old drain lines
- Older drain lines narrow with buildup, so slow drains and repeat clogs are common.

Lower East Side: questions
Do you work south of Houston Street?
Yes. The Lower East Side is a short trip south from our shop on 1st Avenue.
My building is very old. Will that make repairs harder?
Older buildings often mean mixed pipe materials and tight access. That takes care rather than drama: we check what's there first and plan the repair around it.
