Nationwide Plumbers is a NYC Licensed Master Plumber, License #2023, in business since 1984, and we dispatch 24/7 to Great Kills. We repair boilers and water heaters, clear and replace sewer lines, fix gas lines and handle commercial plumbing near the harbor. Call 718-748-2727.
Great Kills wraps around Great Kills Harbor, one of the busiest boating areas in the city, with marinas, yacht clubs and Great Kills Park on the peninsula to the east. Amboy Road, Giffords Lane and Nelson Avenue carry most of the shops and traffic, and the Staten Island Railway stops at Great Kills station. The housing runs from older cottages and bungalows near the water to postwar detached homes and newer infill.
We see a wide spread of systems as a result. Older homes may still heat with hot water boilers and baseboard, sometimes oil systems converted to gas. Waterfront properties deal with salt air on outdoor fixtures and wind on exposed lines. Businesses near the harbor and on Amboy Road call for drain cleaning and fixture work. We give written estimates and respond 24/7.

Common plumbing issues in Great Kills
Oil-to-gas boiler conversions
Some Great Kills homes still heat with oil, and many others converted to gas in recent years. A conversion means a new gas line sized for the boiler, proper venting and often a new, more efficient boiler. We handle the gas piping, permits and boiler installation, and coordinate with the gas utility for the meter.
Older laterals on the bungalow blocks
Small homes near the water that started as seasonal cottages sometimes have sewer laterals that were extended, patched or connected in unusual ways over the years. Repeat clogs are the hint. A sewer camera inspection maps the line and its condition so we can recommend cleaning, a spot repair or replacement.
Exposed water lines near the harbor
Homes facing the harbor and the bay take more wind, and exterior walls and hose bibs freeze first. We replace standard hose bibs with frost-free ones, add interior shutoffs and insulate lines on cold walls. If a pipe has already burst, our emergency plumbing crew is on call around the clock.

Plumbing in Great Kills: FAQ
Can you convert my oil boiler to gas?
Yes. We size and install the gas line, install a gas boiler or convert the burner where that makes sense, and set up proper venting. We pull the permits and coordinate with National Grid for the gas service. Replacement work starts with a free estimate.
Do you work at marinas and businesses near the harbor?
Yes. We handle commercial plumbing including restrooms, drains, water heaters and gas lines for businesses around Great Kills. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request and schedule work around your busy season.
My bungalow keeps clogging even after snaking. What now?
The line may have a sag, a break or a bad connection rather than a simple clog. A camera inspection shows exactly what is going on, whether that is roots, a broken joint or an old connection, and we give you options in writing before any repair. Jetting may solve it, or a section may need replacing.
