"I was on the fence in replacing my water heater. I decided to get some quotes from plumbers. I came across Reliable Plumbing. I read their customer reviews, which were highly favorable. Then I spoke to Jerry. Which was like talking to an old friend. Jerry's honesty and professionalism won me over. Paul the plumber came 2 days later, did a great job. Paul was professional. Pollite and explained everything to me. I was extremely happy with the price, the service and the honesty. I will be using Reliable Plumbing going forward"

"Great experience! Thought for sure we had a serious and hopelessly blocked bathroom sink drain pipe on our hands but Augusto made short work of getting it re-opened. He did the work fast, without fuss and charged a fair price. We would hire him again in a heart beat! Awesome plumber. Really nice person too!"

"TJ from Dynamic Drainage was excellent to deal with. From start to finish. He was friendly, truthful and honest. He’s a good guy and a great communicator. He cleared our main line from our home to the sewer and I would highly recommend TJ and Dynamic Drainage for your plumbing needs."

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?

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?

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?

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.

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.
