Long Island City, Queens
Long Island City mixes waterfront high-rises, converted industrial buildings, and older rowhouses, often within a few blocks of each other. JPR Plumbing helps LIC homeowners and unit owners with leaks, clogged drains, burst pipes, water heater problems, and other plumbing repairs.
In apartment buildings, one plumbing problem can quickly affect several units. Here is how we can help.
Featured service
In a high-rise or mid-rise building, an active leak rarely stays in one unit. Water from a failed supply line, dishwasher hose, or toilet connection can travel through ceilings and walls to the apartments below. We locate and repair active leaks in homes and condo or co-op units.
Help for major leaks, loss of water, and failed fixtures.
Repairs for cracked and burst supply pipes.
Clearing serious kitchen, bath, and shower clogs.
Help when wastewater backs up into the home.
Overflowing, leaking, or constantly running toilets.
No hot water or a leaking water heater.
Tracing hidden leaks behind walls and ceilings.
Pump failures in homes with basements.
If you live in a building, tell building management right away so they can check the unit above. If the leak is coming from your own plumbing, call us at (833) 603-1840.
Local considerations
Many of Long Island City’s residential towers were built in the last two decades. Newer plumbing is less likely to suffer from corrosion, but problems still happen: appliance hoses fail, fittings loosen, shut-off valves stick, and drains clog from everyday use.
In condo and co-op buildings, responsibility for plumbing is often split between the unit owner and the building. Check your building rules so you know who to call for pipes inside your walls versus shared risers.
Away from the waterfront, areas like Hunters Point, Dutch Kills, and Ravenswood include older rowhouses, two-family homes, and buildings converted from industrial use. These can have older supply lines, cast-iron drains, and plumbing that has been changed many times.
Wastewater from western Queens, which includes Long Island City, is treated at DEP’s Newtown Creek facility, one of 14 such plants listed on NYC DEP’s wastewater treatment page.
If you’re not sure whether a problem is in your unit or the building’s shared plumbing, building management is a good first call.

Questions
It depends on where the leak starts and your building’s rules. Pipes and fixtures inside your unit are often the owner’s responsibility, while shared risers and main lines usually belong to the building. Check your bylaws or ask management.
Contact building management or the neighbor above right away. Move belongings out of the way, avoid wet light fixtures and outlets, and take photos. If the source is your own plumbing, call a plumber.
