"Our plumber was Edwin Stevens. This was the second time we had hired this company because they also helped us out in the fall. They did exactly what we had asked them to do. The prices were fair and the work was excellent. Mr. Stevens made special time for us because we had a pressing need. He accommodated all of our requests in a timely manner. He was easy to work with and is an excellent communicator."
"Plumber was quick, efficient and very professional. Overall turnaround time was 2 hours from first contact to repair. Would hire again for any of my plumbing needs."
"It was excellent. We had an emergency over the weekend and he came on Sunday. This is the second time I hired him. His work is very neat and he cleans up after the job. He is a very nice guy and pleasant to deal with. His work is the best I've seen and I've been using plumbers in this area for some time. His ability with plumbing is excellent."
"I had the pleasure of dealing with Eddie. He was prompt, reliable, and friendly. He was able to complete everything we asked for in our kitchen reno. This included faucet install, under sink plumbing, dishwasher install, gas line recessed, range install, and fridge water line install. All done in one short day. Will definitely contact him for future issues and projects. I will also refer him to family and friends."
"Jonathan did a great job, although it was a relatively simple pipe repair. He was on time, pleasant to speak with, neat and supplied a simple explanation of the problem. I plan on using him on another project soon. The first plumber I've had here that seemed to really know what he's doing."
"This is my go to plumber. Very professional and experienced plumber that is passionate about what he does. I am always pleased with his work. Thank you MC Drain."
"On time, professional, cleaned up behind themselves and most importantly, went above and beyond to make me happy. This wlll be my only plumber going forward. I will recommend them to anyone needing plumbing service"
Water stains near a chimney or roof valley point to a roofing issue rather than an active leak. Wet basement walls near the Hutchinson River in Pelham require foundation waterproofing, not pipe repairs. Low water pressure at a single fixture requires plumbing work, while house-wide low pressure indicates a utility supply issue. Winter mold on exterior walls stems from condensation rather than a leaking pipe.

Schedule outdoor pipe insulation and spigot maintenance in September or October before Pelham experiences hard freezes. Inspect your sump pump and exterior hose bibs every spring. Plan upgrades if your pre-1960 home retains its original supply lines or your water heater exceeds ten years of age. Book an assessment immediately upon receiving a lead service line replacement notice from the state of NY.

Homeowners in Pelham must sign off on applications for local building permits before starting plumbing work. You must decide whether to spot-repair or fully replace a damaged sewer lateral. Coordinate with the village and county water authority for service line alterations. Schedule local inspections at the rough-in and final stages. Respond promptly to New York State mandates regarding lead service line upgrades in older neighborhoods.
Helpful?
Ignoring seasonal freeze cycles damages pipes in uninsulated exterior walls. Disconnect exterior hoses before winter and open sink cabinet doors during cold snaps. Overusing chemical drain cleaners degrades older cast iron pipes common in Pelham homes. Address slow drains immediately, as they indicate tree root intrusion in your sewer lateral. Flush your water heater periodically to prevent hard water mineral buildup from the Westchester County supply.
Helpful?
Discolored water and reduced flow indicate that previous partial repiping left old lead or galvanized lines in place. Recurring sewer odors or slow drains mean a past repair missed tree root intrusion. Water staining that reappears on walls in older Pelham homes points to a missed secondary leak. Visible mismatched pipe connections fail New York plumbing codes and require immediate replacement by a licensed professional.
