Licensed Plumbing Services On Long Island

By whether water is failing to arrive or failing to leave. Pressure that has dropped, water that runs discoloured, no hot water, a bill that jumped with no change in use — those are supply-side, the pressurised pipework bringing water in. Slow drains, gurgling, anything backing up, drain smells — those are the waste side, which moves water out under gravity. They are two different systems that only meet at your fixtures, and knowing which one you are describing is genuinely useful on the phone.

No, and the difference matters. A single slow fixture is nearly always a local blockage in that trap or the branch behind it — a contained job. Every drain slow at once, or the lowest drain in the house backing up when you run something upstairs, points at the main line: the house drain, the sewer lateral, or on the unsewered blocks the cesspool. That second one is urgent, because the next thing that discharges into it comes back up through the lowest fixture.

We would rather you did not. On a main line it rarely reaches the blockage, because the blockage is well beyond where the liquid stalls. What it does reliably do is mean that whoever opens the pipe is opening a pipe full of caustic, and it can attack older pipe while it sits there. If a drain is backing up, the useful thing is to stop running water into it — a washing machine or dishwasher discharging into a blocked main is how a slow drain becomes a flooded floor — and then call.

Ours does, and on plumbing work that matters more than on most trades, because getting to the pipe often means opening something. When the plumbing sits with one company and the making-good sits with another, the job stops at the point the pipe is fixed and the room stays unfinished until somebody else has an opening. Plumbing, heating, cooling, gas and general contracting are all our own licensed team, so the wall goes back as part of the same job.

Yes. NJM holds Master Plumber certification, which is what allows us to take on every category of plumbing work across Nassau and Suffolk County rather than only the simple jobs. We are also TASK 86/87 certified for gas work and fully licensed and insured.

Yes, without qualification — 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including nights, weekends and holidays. Burst pipes, sewer backups and failed water heaters are the calls that cannot wait, and someone answers. Regular office hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

A sudden jump with no visible cause usually means a leak behind a finish, under a slab or in an underground service line. Turn off every fixture and watch the water meter — if it is still moving, water is going somewhere. That is the point to call, because hidden leaks cause structural damage long before they surface.

Constantly. Post-war Capes and ranches across Nassau and Suffolk have galvanized supply lines and cast iron waste stacks that eventually need replacing, along with additions plumbed to a standard that would not pass today. We work on these houses every week.

Yes. NJM is TASK 86/87 certified, which is the certification New York requires for legal gas work. That covers new gas lines for ranges, dryers, generators and heating equipment, plus leak detection, pressure testing and the code compliance paperwork.

Yes — offices, restaurants, retail spaces and multi-family properties across Long Island. Commercial jobs get the same licensed crew and the same response times, scheduled around your operating hours where we can.

Yes, for diagnostic visits — where something has failed and nobody knows why yet. It buys a licensed technician's time to find what has actually gone wrong, and it is one rate across plumbing, heating, cooling and gas. We give you the figure on the phone, before anyone is dispatched, and after-hours, weekend and holiday calls are quoted the same way. Estimates for new installations and renovation work are free.

All of Nassau County and all of Suffolk County, from our base in North Babylon. Babylon, West Babylon, Lindenhurst and Deer Park are on our doorstep; we work west into Massapequa, Farmingdale and Hicksville and north through Commack and Dix Hills. That list is where we get asked about most, not where we stop. Call 631-587-0085 if you are not sure whether you are in range.

Yes, free and with no obligation. Tell us what is happening and we will give you a straight number. Send it through the form and we will be in touch within 24 hours, or call 631-587-0085 for anything urgent — that line is answered around the clock.
