Nationwide Plumbers is a NYC Licensed Master Plumber, License #2023, in business since 1984. We serve Bellerose with drain and sewer cleaning, water heater and boiler work, gas line repairs and 24/7 emergency service. Call 718-748-2727.
Bellerose is one of the quietest corners of eastern Queens, a grid of detached and attached homes between Hillside Avenue, Jericho Turnpike and the Nassau County line, with the Cross Island Parkway nearby on the west. Most houses date from the 1920s to the 1950s: brick and frame Cape Cods, colonials and some semi-detached rows. Yards are deeper than in western Queens, which means longer sewer laterals and more trees along the way.
Because the neighborhood sits at the city line, people sometimes are not sure whether a NYC plumber will come out. The Queens side of Bellerose is inside the city, and we cover it like any other part of our service area, with 24/7 dispatch. Work on the Queens side follows NYC plumbing code and Department of Buildings rules, which a NYC licensed master plumber is required to handle.

Common plumbing issues in Bellerose
Long laterals and root intrusion
Deeper lots mean the sewer line from the house to the street can run a good distance, often in clay or old cast iron, and often past a tree. Roots get into the joints and catch paper and grease until the line stops. We run a camera to measure where the problem is, jet the line clean, and mark the spot so a repair can be targeted instead of digging up the whole yard.
Water heaters at the end of their life
A tank water heater that is rusting at the base, rumbling when it heats, or leaving water on the basement floor is close to failing. In many Bellerose homes the heater shares a chimney with the boiler, so venting has to be checked on any replacement. We install A.O. Smith tank and tankless units and confirm the flue and gas supply are right before we leave.
Basement floor drains that back up
Older homes often have a floor drain near the boiler or laundry that ties into the house trap. When the trap or the line beyond it slows down, that drain is where wastewater shows up first. Clearing the trap and the main line, then checking for a belly or break with the camera, usually ends the problem. We explain what we find before recommending more work.

Plumbing in Bellerose: FAQ
Do you serve the Nassau side of Bellerose?
Our service area is the five boroughs of New York City, so we cover the Queens side of Bellerose. If you are not sure which side of the line your house is on, call us with the address and we will tell you right away.
How often should I clean my sewer line?
If you have had root problems before, many homeowners in older houses schedule a cleaning every year or two before the line stops completely. A camera inspection after jetting shows how quickly roots are coming back and whether a repair would save you money over time. Learn more about hydro jetting.
Can I switch from a tank water heater to tankless?
Often, yes. A tankless unit needs the right gas line size and its own venting, so we check both before quoting. In some homes the gas line needs to be upsized. We give you a free written estimate that includes everything needed to make the switch.
