Emergency & burst pipes
Frozen and split supply lines, failed shut-offs, water coming through a ceiling light fixture. We isolate the line first, then talk about the repair — so the damage stops before the invoice starts.

A real person answers the phone at 3:40 in the morning. We're a licensed plumbing shop at 1 Liberty Street, working the Financial District, Tribeca, Battery Park and the whole of Lower Manhattan — plus the outer boroughs when it's serious. No call center, no dispatcher reading from a script.

01
Frozen and split supply lines, failed shut-offs, water coming through a ceiling light fixture. We isolate the line first, then talk about the repair — so the damage stops before the invoice starts.
02
Repair, replacement and tankless conversion. We carry 40, 50 and 75-gallon units on the van, plus expansion tanks and T&P valves. Same-day swap on most gas and electric tanks.
03
Kitchen stacks, floor drains, main-line clogs, root intrusion. Camera inspection with a written report and footage you keep — useful when a co-op board or landlord wants proof of what's in the wall.
04
Water stains on a ceiling don't tell you where the water started. We use acoustic and thermal detection plus pressure testing to find the actual source before anyone opens a wall — which is the difference between one repair and three.
05
Faucets, toilets, shower valves, tub-to-shower conversions, ADA grab-bar rough-ins. We work with the tile and stone already in the room and keep the dust to a minimum.
06
Restaurants, retail, small offices and residential buildings. Grease lines, backflow testing and filing, riser work, pump replacement, and after-hours scheduling so a job never costs you a service day.
07
New runs, leak testing, appliance connections and permits filed with the DOB. Licensed for gas work in all five boroughs.
02 — The night desk
Most plumbing emergencies happen between 11pm and 5am, because that's when a building is quiet and a slow leak finally shows itself. Our phone is answered by a plumber, not a service — so the person you describe the problem to is the person who shows up with the right part.
Between 10pm and 6am we run a two-van rotation out of Liberty Street. If you're inside the Financial District, Battery Park, Tribeca or the West Village, we're usually at your door inside an hour. If you're further out, we'll tell you honestly how long it will be before you decide to wait.

04 — About the shop
NYC Plumber Co started in 2011 with a single van, a Master Plumber license and a phone number that got passed around the buildings on Liberty Street. The first job was a failed shut-off valve in a basement on Cedar — the super called back three weeks later with the whole building.
Fifteen years on, we're seven plumbers and four vans, still working out of the same address. What hasn't changed is who answers the phone. There's no call center between you and the person doing the work, and no upsell script. If a $90 part fixes it, that's what we'll tell you.
We're licensed and insured in New York City, backflow certified, and we file our own DOB permits. Every job gets a flat-rate quote in writing before a tool comes out of the van.
