Older Home Plumbing
Houses renovated in layers over decades tend to hide surprises behind the finishes. We work on these properties regularly and price from what is actually there.

Plumbing, Heating & Cooling In Babylon Village
Babylon Village is an incorporated village with its own building department, and older waterfront housing that brings its own plumbing problems. We work here constantly — the shop is ten minutes north.

Plumbing, Heating & Cooling In Babylon Village
Babylon Village is an incorporated village, which means building permits run through the Village building department rather than the Town of Babylon. We are ten minutes north in North Babylon and handle village permitting as part of the job.
The village also has a housing profile of its own — older homes, a good deal of it close to the water, and properties that have been renovated in layers over decades. Waterfront and near-waterfront houses bring their own mechanical questions, from how equipment is sited to how well the original plumbing has stood up to the environment.

Before you call
Two kinds of visit. You’ll know which before we come.
We don’t charge to quote a job. We do charge to find a problem nobody has identified yet. Which one you need — and what it costs — gets agreed on the phone, so nothing about the cost is a surprise on the doorstep.
The rate you are told is the rate
You get the number on the phone, before anyone is dispatched, and it is what you are charged when the technician arrives. One rate across all four trades — plumbing, heating, cooling and gas.
What it pays for
A licensed, insured technician carrying the certifications the work needs, and the time to find what has actually failed — not a quick look and a guess.
Watch for the bait and switch
A call-out advertised at almost nothing gets recovered once someone is standing in your basement. Get the number before anyone travels — from us, or from anyone else you call — and hold them to it when they arrive.
Financing on larger jobs
A boiler that fails in January is not a purchase anyone planned. Financing is available on the big-ticket work, so a system replacement does not have to come out of savings in one go.
What it is normally used for
Boiler, furnace and water heater replacement, a full air conditioning system, a whole-house repipe, sewer and water main work, and larger contracting jobs — kitchens, bathrooms, dormers and extensions.
When to bring it up
At the estimate, before anything is scheduled. It is worth asking even if you think you will not need it, because knowing it is there changes what you are willing to consider fixing properly.
What it does not change
The price of the job. The quote is the quote whether you finance it or not — and on a straightforward repair it is usually not worth the paperwork. We will tell you which one you are looking at.

What We Do Here
Services In Babylon Village
Leak Detection & Repair
Finding hidden leaks before opening walls — particularly worth doing carefully in older homes where the finishes are not easily replaced.
Boiler & Furnace Work
Installation, replacement and repair of gas, oil and high-efficiency heating, with the near-boiler piping done properly.
Air Conditioning
Central air and ductless mini-splits — the latter often the right answer in older village homes where running new ductwork would mean tearing up finished space.
Gas Lines & Inspections
TASK 86/87 certified gas work, including inspections and the code compliance paperwork.
Renovations
Kitchens, bathrooms and additions, with the plumbing and HVAC handled by the same licensed team that does the building.
24/7 Emergency Service
Someone answers, every hour of every day. Ten minutes from the village.
Village Permits Handled
Work in Babylon Village permits through the Village building department. We handle the application and the inspection rather than leaving it with you.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who issues permits for work in Babylon Village?
Babylon Village is an incorporated village with its own building department, so permits go through the Village rather than the Town of Babylon. Contractors who work mostly outside the village sometimes get this wrong and lose weeks. We handle it as part of the job.
How quickly can you get to Babylon Village?
Our shop is on Magro Drive in North Babylon, roughly ten minutes north. For emergencies that is about as close as a licensed plumber gets. Call 631-587-0085 any hour.
Do you work on older and waterfront homes?
Regularly. Older village housing tends to have been renovated in layers, which means what is behind the wall is rarely what the last owner described. We price from what we actually find rather than from an assumption.
Can you install air conditioning without tearing up an older house?
Usually, yes. Ductless mini-splits cool and heat individual rooms without any ductwork, which is why they suit older village homes where running ducts would mean opening up finished space. One outdoor unit can run several indoor heads.
Do you handle both residential and commercial work in the village?
Both. Homes, and the shops and restaurants along the village commercial strip. Commercial work gets the same licensed crew and the same response times.
Are estimates free?
Yes, free and with no obligation. Call 631-587-0085, or use the form on this page and we will be in touch within 24 hours.

The experience I had with with NJM Mechanical & Contracting was a pleasant one. I had the pleasure of doing business with Neil. The work I had done was a basement entrance to my yard and it came out wonderful. The work performed as well as the communication is 10/10.
