Leak repair and drain cleaning in Manhattan
Water where it shouldn't be, or not draining where it should: we find the source of leaks, repair them properly and clear slow and clogged drains, day or night.
Call any time, day or night(212) 293-0494How we handle leaks & drains
A leak is rarely where it first shows up. Water travels along pipes, joists and ceilings before it appears as a stain or a drip, especially in older buildings with shared risers. Finding the real source is most of the job.
Drains slow down gradually, then clog all at once. We clear the blockage, check the trap and line for the cause, and advise on keeping it clear, without relying on harsh chemical cleaners that can be hard on older pipes.

Leaks & drains: questions
What should I do if water is leaking right now?
Turn off the nearest shut-off valve, or the main valve for your home. Move valuables away from the water and call us. We answer 24 hours a day.
Should I use chemical drain cleaners?
It's best to avoid them. They can be hard on older pipes and rarely clear the real blockage.
The leak is coming from the apartment above. Can you help?
We can find and fix the source. In a building, it helps to let your super and the neighbors above know right away.
