Our plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
A heater that has gone cold or started leaking is repaired or replaced. We also install tankless units and relocate a heater when a basement or utility room is reworked.
Drain cleaning
Slow kitchen, bath and laundry drains get cleared, along with blocked main lines. If a stoppage keeps returning, a camera goes down the pipe to see why.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A damp wall, a wet ceiling or a meter that moves with everything turned off points to a leak. We trace it, whether it sits in a wall, under a floor or in the line from the street.
Sewer line repair
A camera shows what is wrong in the sewer line. Roots are cleared, a broken section is repaired and a failed line is replaced from the house toward the street.
Repiping and water lines
Supply lines are replaced house-wide or one section at a time, in copper or PEX, and a new water service line can be run to the meter. Lead service lines are part of this work.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Toilets, faucets, shower valves and garbage disposals are the fixtures we cover. A repair is made where it will hold up, and the fixture is replaced where it will not.
The permit is the owner’s to get
Mount Vernon’s Department of Buildings says the owner is ultimately responsible for obtaining a permit. The owner may designate a contractor to file for it, after signing a letter that is notarized.
Homes built in or before 1952
Half of Mount Vernon’s homes were built in or before 1952. Going by year built, over 6 in every 10 predate 1960, and over 8 in every 10 predate 1980.
If your house is among them, call and describe what you are seeing, and we connect you with a plumber who can look at the pipes and fixtures involved.
Our process
Call and describe the problem
Begin with what you have noticed and where in the house it is. The call costs nothing, and it puts you in touch with a local plumber.
Hear your options
The plumber explains what the repair or replacement involves and what it would take to finish it, so you can decide before anything starts.
The work gets done
Once you agree, the plumber carries out the work, and the job is finished when the repair or replacement is complete.
Free plumbing tools
Mount Vernon owners can try five free tools. The tankless flow calculator weighs showers that run together, and the size calculator suggests a tank for the household. A heater’s age comes from the serial number decoder, pipe exposure from the freeze risk checker, and sewer line age from the sewer line age checker.
Frequently asked questions
Is a plumber’s license issued by the state?
No. The state issues no plumber license here. Westchester County licenses plumbers through its Board of Plumbing Examiners, and the Westchester County master plumber license is good in any city, town or village in the county.
Is there a way to check a plumber’s license?
Yes. The Department of Consumer Protection supports the county plumbing board and offers a trade licenses search on its website. Where a permit is required, county law says to hire only someone with a valid county plumbing license.
Do winters here reach freezing?
Yes. About 78 days a year in Mount Vernon are at or below 32°F, and January lows average around 26°F. A freeze risk checker on this site rates pipes by where they run.
