The Financial District is three neighborhoods wearing one name. There are the office towers on Wall, Broad and Water Street, some of them now apartments after conversions that ran pipe up cores designed for law firms. There are the 19th-century blocks around Stone Street, Front Street and the Seaport, five stories of brick with cast iron drains that predate the Brooklyn Bridge. And there is the new construction along the river and around the World Trade Center, with booster pumps, pressure zones and mechanical rooms full of equipment that needs someone who has seen it before.
NYC Plumber Co works in all three from an office at 1 Liberty St, which means a plumber can be in your lobby before the super finishes explaining the problem to the doorman. We know the conversions where the kitchen drain runs 60 feet to reach a stack that was never meant to serve a kitchen. We know which Seaport buildings still have original lead and which ones flooded to the second step in Sandy. We know that a 40-story building in this neighborhood does not have one water pressure, it has four, and the fixture that fails on the 8th floor is a different fixture from the one that fails on the 38th.
A lot of the Financial District heats and makes hot water with Con Edison district steam instead of a boiler. The steam comes in from the street through a pressure reducing station, hits a heat exchanger, and leaves as hot water for the building. When that system fails the whole building goes cold at once, and the plumber who shows up needs to know the difference between a steam trap problem and a converter problem. Ours do.
Below all of it is a flood zone. Hurricane Sandy put saltwater into mechanical rooms from South Street to Rector Street, and a lot of buildings moved their equipment up, installed backwater valves and flood barriers, and rebuilt sewer connections. That work is still being finished in places. Some of it was done badly. We see both.
Office and luxury residential buildings here want a certificate of insurance with specific limits and additional insureds before anyone goes past the lobby. We have it ready, and for buildings we service regularly it is already on file.
Most towers restrict contractor work to weekday hours with a freight elevator reservation. A plumber who shows up without one waits in the lobby. We book it when we book you.
Stone Street, Pearl Street and the Seaport are wall-to-wall restaurants. Grease trap service, floor drain jetting and gas work happen after close or before prep, and we schedule that way as a matter of course.
Narrow one-way streets, no parking, loading zones shared with delivery trucks and film shoots. Our plumbers walk in from Liberty Street with the parts on a cart when the van cannot get near the door, which is often.
Emergency plumbing in the Financial District is about speed and access. A supply line on the 22nd floor of a converted tower reaches six apartments in an hour. Being based on Liberty Street makes us a few blocks from most of the neighborhood, and we carry what the conversions break most: supply lines, angle stops, fill valves, and the pressure reducing valves that fail in the lower pressure zones.
Drain cleaning here splits between the towers and the old blocks. Tower kitchens sit far from their stacks on long, flat runs that grease loves. Seaport buildings have cast iron and lead that a cable has to respect. Restaurants on Stone Street have grease traps and floor sinks that need jetting on a calendar.
Sewer line repair below Wall Street means working around some of the densest underground infrastructure in the country. Con Ed steam, gas, water, electric, fiber and the subway sit between the sidewalk and the sewer. Camera first, sonde to locate, markouts, and a DEP permit before anything opens.
Water heater repair and water heater installation range from a 40-gallon unit in a Front Street walk-up to a commercial heater feeding a hotel. Conversions often have individual heaters in apartments that were never designed for the vent, and we sort out what will actually work.
Boiler repair in this neighborhood includes steam-to-water heat exchangers, pressure reducing stations and steam traps on district steam, as well as conventional boilers in the smaller buildings. A cold building on Water Street in January is a converter or a trap far more often than a boiler.
Gas line repair and Local Law 152 inspections for the residential buildings, plus commercial kitchen gas for the restaurants. Con Edison serves the whole neighborhood, and the restoration process after a shutoff is one we run constantly.
Leak detection in a tower means finding which of the four apartments above you has the failing shower pan. Acoustic and thermal instruments, coordination with the management office, and a report the board will accept.
Pipe repair covers everything from pinholed copper risers in 1980s conversions to lead and galvanized in the Seaport, plus the pressure-related failures that hit the lower floors of tall buildings.
Toilet repair and faucet and fixture installation for apartments, hotels and office restrooms, including flushometers and sensor faucets in the commercial spaces.
Commercial plumbing is a large part of what we do in the Financial District. Restaurants, offices, hotels, retail, the backflow preventers DEP requires on almost every building here, and maintenance agreements for property managers with a portfolio downtown.
Most of what we do in the neighborhood is scheduled: a fixture install in a conversion on Broad Street, a backflow test, a boiler service in September. When it is not scheduled, we are a few blocks from your building and we answer at any hour.
The process is the same either way. You call (929) 717-4784 or send the form. We ask about the building and the problem, tell you what it probably is, and give a window. A plumber arrives with the certificate of insurance already sent, diagnoses, and hands you a written price. The work gets done, tested and cleaned up, and if there is a filing - LAA, DEP, backflow report - we handle it.
If your building is anywhere from the Battery to Chambers Street and you want a plumber who can walk over, call NYC Plumber Co at (929) 717-4784 or request your free estimate.
