Boiler repair and hot water tank replacement in Brooklyn

Licensed plumbers on call 24 hours a day in every Brooklyn neighborhood, from Greenpoint to Coney Island. Hot water tanks are on the truck, and steam boilers are something we work on every week.

Brooklyn buildings we work on

The kind of building you are in changes what usually goes wrong and how we approach it.

Brownstones and rowhouses

Park Slope, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Fort Greene and Carroll Gardens are full of row homes on one-pipe steam, often with a converted or replaced boiler in a tight cellar. Narrow stairs are normal for us; a 50 gallon tank fits most of them.

Pre-war walk-ups

Four- to six-story buildings across Flatbush, Bushwick, Sunset Park and Bay Ridge usually run one central boiler. When it stops, every apartment loses heat, so we prioritize these calls in heat season.

One- and two-family homes

Southern Brooklyn, including Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights, Marine Park and Canarsie, has many detached and semi-attached houses with their own boiler and a 40 or 50 gallon water heater.

Coastal neighborhoods

Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Gerritsen Beach and Red Hook have basement mechanicals exposed to flooding. After any flood, have gas equipment checked before it is turned back on.

Plumbing questions from Brooklyn

Do you repair steam boilers in Brooklyn brownstones?

Yes. One-pipe steam is common in Brooklyn row houses. We repair the boiler, low-water cutoff, main vents and radiator vents, and correct pipe pitch that causes banging.

Can you get a new water heater into a tight Brooklyn basement?

Usually, yes. We carry tanks down narrow cellar stairs regularly. If space is very limited we will suggest the right size or a different unit type.

Do you cover southern and coastal Brooklyn?

Yes, including Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Gerritsen Beach, Mill Basin, Canarsie and Red Hook.

How fast can you get to me in Brooklyn?

Most Brooklyn emergency calls get a plumber on site in about an hour. The dispatcher gives you an arrival window when you call.
