Astoria, Queens
Astoria’s blocks of two-family homes, rowhouses, and prewar apartment buildings have plumbing that has been working for decades. When something gives out, JPR Plumbing helps Astoria homeowners with leaks, burst pipes, clogged drains, sewer backups, and water heater repairs.
Pick the service that best matches your problem.
01
Sudden leaks, a home without water, or a fixture that fails at the worst time. Our emergency plumbing page explains how we help.
02
Older two-family homes often have exposed pipes in basements and along outside walls. We repair pipes that split or burst.
03
From a dripping supply line under the sink to a leaking valve in the basement, we repair active leaks before they spread.
04
Grease, food scraps, and aging drain lines can cause stubborn clogs. We clear severe blockages in kitchen and bathroom drains.
05
If wastewater rises through a basement drain or lower-level toilet, we help find out whether the blockage is in your building’s line.
06
Toilets that overflow, rock on the floor, or run nonstop. We repair toilet problems in houses and apartments.
07
Older water heaters in basements can corrode and leak. We repair problems, including tanks that no longer heat.
08
A ceiling stain on the first floor of a two-family home may come from the unit above. We help trace hidden leaks to their source.
09
In homes with a sump pump, a failed pump during heavy rain can flood a basement quickly. We repair sump pump problems.
Warning signs
Many Astoria homes are two-family houses or small multi-unit buildings with shared plumbing, so a leak, clog, or water heater failure can affect two households at once.
Local considerations
NYC DEP notes that lead service lines have not been installed in New York City since 1961. Older homes, particularly single-family houses built from the 1910s through the 1930s, are the most likely to have lead, and lead solder was used until it was banned in 1987.
If your home is older, DEP recommends running cold water for at least 30 seconds before drinking it when it has been sitting, and you can call 311 for a free test kit. Read DEP’s lead in household plumbing FAQ.

Questions
It’s possible. NYC DEP says lead service lines haven’t been installed in the city since 1961, and older homes are the most likely to have them. You can call 311 for a free lead test kit and ask a plumber to look at the line where it enters your home.
If you rent, contact your landlord first. If you own the house, shut off water to the leaking fixture or the main valve if needed, and call a plumber to find and repair the source.
A dry floor drain trap can let sewer gas into the basement. Pouring water into the drain can refill the trap. If the odor continues or the drain backs up, there may be a blockage that needs a plumber.
It depends on the problem and the unit’s age. Some issues, like a faulty thermostat or valve, can be repaired, while a leaking tank usually can’t. A plumber can explain the options so you can decide.
