Nationwide Plumbers is a licensed NYC master plumbing contractor (License #2023), operating since 1984, with 24/7 emergency service in Mount Eden. We fix leaks, clear drains, repair boilers and gas lines, and handle building inspections. Call 718-748-2727.
Mount Eden is a dense residential pocket of the west Bronx, centered on Mount Eden Avenue and bordered by Claremont Park. The housing is mostly pre-war apartment buildings, from walk-ups to larger elevator buildings, with commercial strips along Jerome Avenue under the 4 train and along 170th Street. Many buildings here are close to a century old, and their supply lines, drain stacks and boilers show it.
Our work in Mount Eden is mostly for buildings: leaks traced through walls between apartments, galvanized branch lines that have closed up with rust, boilers that need attention before the first cold night, and gas piping inspections under Local Law 152. We also serve the shops and auto businesses along Jerome Avenue. Calls are answered 24/7, and every job starts with a written estimate.

Common plumbing issues in Mount Eden
Leaks that show up two floors down
In an older apartment building, water from a failed shower body or a cracked drain can travel along a beam and appear far from the source. Tenants below get the stain, and the source apartment never sees a drip. We trace the leak with moisture readings and targeted openings, then fix the actual source instead of patching ceilings.
Low water pressure from galvanized pipe
Original galvanized steel branch lines rust from the inside until a bathroom faucet barely runs. The street pressure is fine, but the pipe has closed up. Replacing the branch lines feeding a line of apartments restores flow, and we size the work so management can do it one riser at a time.
Floor drains and oil in auto shops
Repair shops and garages along Jerome Avenue have floor drains that collect grit, oil and wash water. When those lines clog, water pools across the shop floor. We jet the lines, check the trap and interceptor if one is installed, and camera the pipe to the main so the owner knows its condition.

Plumbing in Mount Eden: FAQ
Water is coming through my ceiling. What should I do first?
Turn off the fixture above if you can reach it, move valuables, and tell your super so they can shut the riser if needed. Then call us at any hour. We find the source, stop the leak and document what we found for the building and any insurance claim. See emergency plumbing.
Is replacing galvanized pipe worth it in an older Mount Eden building?
If the building already has low pressure, rusty water or repeated pinhole leaks, the pipe is near the end of its life. Replacing it in sections during planned work costs less than chasing emergency leaks for years. We give a written estimate by riser, so owners can budget it over time.
Do you work on commercial floor drains along Jerome Avenue?
Yes. We clear and jet floor drains, service traps and interceptors, and run a camera to locate breaks or sags. For lines that keep backing up, our van-mounted hydro jetting carries a 45-day guarantee.
Can one plumber handle both the boiler and the gas piping in our building?
Yes. We are licensed for plumbing and gas work, so the same crew can service the boiler, repair gas piping to it, and perform the Local Law 152 inspection. That keeps one point of contact for the super and the managing agent.
