Brooklyn, NY plumbing services
JPR Plumbing’s head office is on 36th Street in Brooklyn, and we help homeowners across the borough with plumbing problems. From brownstones in Park Slope to semi-detached homes in Bensonhurst, we work on burst pipes, leaks, clogged drains, sewer backups, and water heater trouble.
What we do
Brooklyn’s homes range from 19th-century row houses to new condo buildings, and plumbing problems look different in each. Here’s a quick look at the repairs we handle across the borough.
For problems that can't wait, like water you can't shut off or a home without running water. Start here if you're not sure what you need.
Brownstone and row-house plumbing often runs through tight wall cavities and basements. We repair split and burst pipes and help you limit water damage.
Drips under the sink, leaking supply lines, and failed shut-off valves. We repair active leaks before they damage floors and ceilings.
Kitchen grease, hair, and old drain lines can bring water to a standstill. We clear severe clogs in sinks, tubs, showers, and floor drains.
Sewage coming up through a basement floor drain needs prompt attention. We help find the blockage in your building's sewer line.
A toilet that overflows, rocks, or won't stop running can disrupt the whole household. We repair toilet problems.
From a cold shower to a puddle under the tank, we handle water heater problems and explain whether repair makes sense.
Musty smells, warped floors, or water stains with no obvious cause? We help track down hidden leaks inside walls, floors, and ceilings.
Low-lying basements can take on water during heavy rain. If your sump pump fails, we repair it and help get water moving out again.
Warning signs
In older Brooklyn homes, we often see aging galvanized supply pipes that reduce water pressure, cast-iron drain lines with buildup, and basement plumbing that has been modified many times over the years. Newer condos and renovated units have their own issues, such as loose fittings, leaking appliance connections, and shut-off valves that haven’t been tested in years.
Watch for low water pressure, gurgling drains, stains on ceilings, sewer odors in the basement, and water heaters that rumble or leak. Some of these can wait a short time. Water spreading across a floor or sewage backing up should be handled right away.
Local considerations
Brooklyn is large and varied, so plumbing needs change from one neighborhood to the next.
Many brownstones and row houses date to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Their plumbing has often been replaced in stages, so a single home can have several pipe materials. That mix can make leaks and drain problems harder to diagnose.
NYC DEP expects intense rainstorms to happen more often and suggests building owners consider a backwater valve, installed in consultation with a plumber. DEP also notes most insurance policies don’t cover sewer backups. Read DEP’s guidance on intense storms.
Waterfront areas such as Red Hook, Coney Island, and Gerritsen Beach were among the neighborhoods flooded during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Homes in low-lying areas benefit from checking basement drains, floor drains, and sump pumps before storm season.
Our head office is in Brooklyn’s 11232 ZIP code, near Sunset Park and Greenwood Heights. We serve homeowners throughout the borough, including:

Questions
NYC DEP suggests building owners consider a backwater valve, installed in consultation with a plumber, to help reduce the risk of sewer backups during heavy rain. Whether it makes sense depends on your plumbing layout and how your basement drains, so it’s worth having it assessed.
Often not. NYC DEP notes that most homeowner and renter insurance policies don’t cover flood damage or sewer backups unless optional coverage is added. Check your policy before storm season so you know where you stand.
Low pressure in older homes is often caused by corroded galvanized pipes, failing valves, or buildup in faucets and fixtures. A plumber can check where the pressure drops to help find the cause.
Yes. Our head office is on 36th Street in Brooklyn, NY 11232. We serve homeowners across Brooklyn and other parts of New York State.
If water is leaking, turn off the fixture’s shut-off valve or your main valve if you can reach it safely. Move belongings away from the water, avoid wet electrical areas, and take photos for your records.
