"The guys at DrainRX are the best. Living in an older house in Rockville Centre with old plumbing that easily clogs up, I have had to call them three times for three different drains, and every time John got in touch with me immediately, they came as soon as they could, and resolved the issue quickly. They're honest workers who only charge what is necessary, and they appreciate repeat customers and take an interest in getting to know you and your house. Recommend 10/10."

"Excellent Plumbing was fantastic - he installed a new faucet, vanity, and water filter for me. Super punctual, really professional, very communicative, and paid close attention to detail. Everything's working great. What really stood out was Joe's dedication. He came back to check on the work and found an unrelated issue with my kitchen sink (which was already there). He gave me some great tips on how to fix it. I highly recommend Joe and Excellent Plumbing & Heating for any plumbing work. He's super skilled and has awesome customer service."

"John the owner is an expert and is on a mission to have his best men solve the problem in the most expeditious and pleasant smelling as possible.  John sent over Paul who was a specialist hands DOWN!!!  I will always use them for their expertise on cesspools and plumbing.  Paul came into my house to see where the plumbing was originating and saw some faulty pipes and set we up with an appointment to fix that problem after consulting with head man John.  Hands down to this company who was fast efficient and reasonably priced.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Many post-war Merrick homes feature slab-on-grade foundations or shallow crawl spaces, making drain line access incredibly difficult. A high water table complicates below-grade plumbing work, as trenches fill rapidly with water. Strict setback rules for cesspools on small suburban lots severely restrict where new drain lines fit. Furthermore, unpermitted garage conversions or older additions require full remediation before local authorities approve new work, adding significant complexity to your project.

Helpful?

Drain line connections demand precision, as improper slopes cause complete cesspool failures and trigger mandatory system upgrades. Backflow prevention devices require exact installation to protect the public water supply from contamination. For homes in Merrick flood zones, elevating mechanical systems incorrectly voids flood insurance. Additionally, handling older copper pipes in NY requires strict lead-safe practices to prevent drinking water contamination. Always hire a licensed professional for these critical tasks.

Helpful?

Discolored water in older Merrick homes signals severe pipe corrosion requiring a complete replacement. Slow drains throughout the house or gurgling sounds after heavy rain indicate a failing cesspool system, not a simple clog. Soft, sunken ground in your yard points to an imminent cesspool collapse. Efflorescence on basement walls near plumbing penetrations shows dangerous groundwater pressure against your foundation. Address these warning signs immediately with a local professional.

Helpful?

Protect your family during plumbing work by relocating children and pets if contractors disturb older pipe insulation, which contains asbestos. Flush your water lines thoroughly before resuming use to prevent contamination from disturbed pipes. In NY flood zones, install backflow valves on all drain lines to stop sewage from entering living spaces during storm surges. Always secure proper local permits to guarantee all gas and water connections remain completely safe.

Helpful?

Local permit requirements split plumbing projects into multiple visits, as county inspections mandate waiting periods. Coordinating with the water district to shut off street access also extends timelines. In older Merrick homes, discovering deteriorated cast iron pipes requires extra time for sourcing parts. Winter freezes in NY demand a temporary emergency fix on the first visit, followed by a permanent repair once the ground thaws.
