Hollis, Queens
Hollis is a residential neighborhood in southeast Queens with tree-lined blocks of detached and semi-detached houses, many with full basements. JPR Plumbing helps Hollis homeowners with basement drain backups, sump pumps, leaks, clogged drains, water heater trouble, and other plumbing repairs.
Most homes in Hollis are owner-occupied houses, so homeowners take care of everything from the water service line to the sewer connection. Basements are where much of that plumbing lives, along with the water heater and laundry.
We help Hollis homeowners understand why a drain is backing up, why water is collecting in a basement, or why the hot water has stopped, and what to do next. To explore all of our services, visit the JPR Plumbing homepage.
Hollis also includes the hillier, more spacious streets of Hollis Hills and Holliswood, where larger detached homes may have longer water and sewer service lines running from the street. Longer lines can mean more places for roots or settling to cause trouble.
If your street was part of the city’s recent sewer and water main upgrades, keep an eye out for changes in water pressure or discolored water afterward, and contact a plumber if problems continue inside your home.

Local considerations
Hollis is part of southeast Queens, where the city has been upgrading sewers and water mains for years.
NYC DEP reported completing a $20.5 million project across 20 blocks of Hollis and Queens Village that replaced more than 7,000 feet of water mains, some dating to before World War II, and added new storm sewers and catch basins. Read DEP’s project announcement.
DEP describes that project as part of a $1.9 billion effort to improve drainage and reduce flooding across southeast Queens.
What Stays the Homeowner’s Job. Street-level upgrades don’t replace the plumbing on your property. The pipes inside your home, your sewer service line, and your sump pump still need regular attention.
If your home has an older water service line, ask a plumber to check its condition when other plumbing work is being done.
Hollis homeowners regularly contact us about:
If sewage is in your basement or water is near electrical equipment, stay out of the area until it can be safely addressed.

Questions
New street sewers improve drainage, but the line from your house to the street is the property owner’s responsibility. If that line is blocked or damaged, backups can still happen. A plumber can check it.
It’s a good idea to test it a few times a year and before stormy seasons by pouring water into the pit. The pump should turn on, remove the water, and shut off on its own.
A backwater valve is designed to keep sewage from flowing back into a home. Whether one is right for your house depends on your plumbing, so ask a plumber to assess it.
Popping or rumbling often means sediment has built up in the tank. It may reduce efficiency and shorten the heater’s life. A plumber can check the unit and advise you.
