Nationwide Plumbers is a NYC Licensed Master Plumber (License #2023) serving Glendale and the rest of Queens since 1984. We dispatch 24/7 and handle drain and sewer problems, boilers, water heaters, gas lines and leak repair. Call 718-748-2727.
Glendale is a residential pocket of Queens wedged between Forest Park and a ring of large cemeteries, with Myrtle Avenue as its main street and Cooper Avenue running past The Shops at Atlas Park. Houses here are a mix of detached and attached frame homes, brick two-family houses and some newer infill, much of it dating from the early to mid 1900s. Lots are a bit larger than in neighboring Ridgewood, and many homes have yards, driveways and full basements.
For plumbing, that means long house sewers running out to the street, basements with laundry and bathrooms added over the years, and heating systems that range from original steam to newer hot water boilers. We take emergency calls 24/7, and we also do planned work like boiler replacements, sewer repairs and repiping, with free estimates and a written price before anything starts.

Common plumbing issues in Glendale
Basement bathrooms that drain uphill
Many Glendale homes have a bathroom or laundry added in the basement below the level of the house sewer. Those fixtures rely on a sewage ejector pump to lift waste up to the line. When the pump fails, the pit fills and backs up into the basement. We replace pumps, check the float and check valve, and add alarms so you know before it overflows.
Long sewer runs under driveways
Houses set back from the street with a driveway often have a long house sewer, and settling over the decades can create sags where waste and paper collect. Repeated clogs at the same spot are the clue. A camera inspection locates the low point, and we can recommend cleaning, a spot repair or a section replacement.
Leaks in frame-house walls
Older frame homes often have supply lines inside exterior walls, where they are exposed to cold. A pipe that freezes and splits may not show until it thaws. We find leaks using moisture readings and targeted openings, repair the pipe and suggest rerouting or insulation where a line keeps getting cold.

Plumbing in Glendale: FAQ
How long does a sewage ejector pump last?
It depends on use and what goes down the drains, but pumps do wear out, and a failing float switch is a common cause of backups. If yours is noisy, runs constantly or has tripped before, have it checked. We install replacement ejector and sump pumps and high-water alarms.
Can you find a leak without opening up the whole wall?
Usually. We use moisture readings, pressure tests and the location of stains to narrow it down, then open only where the leak is. Our leak detection service covers supply lines, drains and heating pipes.
Do you work on businesses along Myrtle Avenue in Glendale?
Yes. We handle drain cleaning, hydro jetting, water heaters, backflow testing and fixture repairs for shops and restaurants, and we provide certificates of insurance to landlords on request. Emergency calls are dispatched 24/7.
