Commercial plumbing is most of what we do in Midtown. Office restrooms and tenant buildouts, hotel kitchens and laundries, restaurant plumbing, backflow preventer installation and annual DEP testing on the water service, and maintenance agreements for property managers with towers to keep running.
Gas line repair, commercial kitchen gas for restaurants and hotels, new lines for tenant kitchens, and Local Law 152 periodic inspections for the residential buildings in Hell's Kitchen, Murray Hill and Turtle Bay. Con Edison territory, LAA filings, pressure tests.
Boiler repair for the Hell's Kitchen tenements and East Side co-ops with their own boilers, plus steam-to-water heat exchangers, pressure reducing stations and steam traps in the buildings on district steam. A cold building on East 38th Street in January is usually a trap or a converter, and we know the difference.
Emergency plumbing 24 hours a day for a burst riser in a Tudor City apartment, a flooded restaurant basement on 46th Street, or a hotel that just lost hot water on a sold-out night.
Drain cleaning for hotel and restaurant kitchen lines, office building stacks, and the tenement kitchen drains of Hell's Kitchen. Cable, jetter and camera, with scheduled jetting for the kitchens that cannot afford a backup.
Water heater repair and water heater installation from a 40-gallon unit in a Murray Hill apartment to commercial heaters, storage tanks and recirculation systems in hotels and gyms.
Leak detection in towers where the leak is 15 floors up and in prewar co-ops where the ceiling is plaster with moldings. Instruments first, one opening, and a report the management office or the board can act on.
Pipe repair for pinholed copper risers, galvanized in the tenements, pressure-related failures on the low floors of tall buildings, and the repipes that the older office buildings eventually face.
Sewer line repair under the busiest streets in the city, with DEP and DOT permits, traffic coordination and the underground markouts Midtown demands.
Faucet and fixture installation for co-op and condo renovations, hotel room refits and the sensor faucets and fixtures in commercial restrooms.
Toilet repair including flushometer valves in office and hotel restrooms, wall-hung units in the new condos and the standard fixtures in every apartment between.
