We provide excellent customer service at a fair price quickly and efficiently. Plumbing and heating New York for five generation, old or new home.

"Tony and Jay were great. We had water backing up into our home the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Despite it being a weekend, they answered the phone on the first ring, and they were at our home within two hours. They diagnosed the problem quickly and had the main line cleaned out. They also replaced a flange on a toilet in the basement and got that re-sealed. They kept us in the loop as they were working, and they made sure everything was cleaned up when they left. This was our first time using Bair Mechanical, and we selected them based on their positive Angie's List reviews, so we are happy to add to their list of great reviews."

master plumber license # 177, residential & commercial service, new construction plumbing for builders, remodelers, additions, etc.

"Otto was amazing. So happy I FINALLY found a plumber I trust who is so skilled and doesn’t take advantage of his customers. I called right after 8am and he returned my call probably within the hour. I never expected such a quick response but he said he was able to be there by 11:30. Immediately took his shoes off (he didn’t have to) but did, every time he entered. Was kind to my blind dog, my husband LOVED him. Hubby asked to set up another appt. to do more work on a faulty bath faucet. He offered to do it then to save paying for another service call. I honestly could have kept him there all day fixing stuff for me. Have already talked to him about work in the spring. Wonderful, knowledgeable, hard working, affordable. I look for small business owners and as far as plumbers go, I’ve found mine."

"I called about 8:30 am and the repairman arrived about 12:30 pm. He determined that in the toilet that was continuously emptying the chamber the flush chain had come off the handle. He put it back together and it was working fine. In the toilet that was making a whistling noise every time it was flushed, the determined that the fill valve was bad, so he installed a new fill valve and it is now working fine without the noise. A plumber that we had called about eight years ago, thought we would have to open the wall to get to the pipe to stop the noise."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Homeowners insurance usually doesn’t cover sewer backups because it’s typically an avoidable problem with proper maintenance. The only exception would be if the backup is occurring because of local flooding and only if your city uses a combined drainage system for stormwater and sewage. If that’s the case, your policy should cover any resulting damage.

It’ll take 20 to 30 minutes to unclog a sewer line using a drain snake or drain cleaner. If you hire a professional, you should expect them to be on-site for three hours or less. In addition to clearing the clog, they’ll do other routine inspections, which adds to the overall time (and cost) required.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

A clogged sewer line is not typically covered by homeowner’s insurance, though some sewer line issues are covered. For instance, damage related to a fallen tree is usually covered. Though sewer line replacement is not covered in a standard insurance policy, some companies offer add-ons for this purpose. Read the fine print before spending your own money.
