Plumber in Tompkinsville, Staten Island

Tompkinsville sits on Staten Island's North Shore just south of the St. George ferry terminal, with Bay Street along the waterfront and Victory Boulevard beginning at Tompkinsville Park and climbing west up the hill. The Staten Island Railway stops at Tompkinsville. Along Victory Boulevard and Bay Street, older mixed-use buildings hold shops and restaurants under apartments, while the side streets rising up the hill carry frame houses, some from the 1800s, and small apartment buildings.

The plumbing is as varied as the buildings. Restaurants and groceries on Victory Boulevard need drains that keep up with commercial use. Older apartment buildings near Bay Street carry gas piping that falls under Local Law 152. And houses on the steep side streets have sewer laterals and water lines that run a long way down to the street. We cover Tompkinsville around the clock.

Common plumbing issues in Tompkinsville

Mixed-use buildings on the main corridors

A building with a restaurant on the ground floor and apartments above has two very different plumbing loads on one set of pipes. Kitchen grease clogs the shared building drain, and the gas piping serves both the commercial range and the apartments. These buildings fall under Local Law 152. We inspect, file, and keep the drains clear with scheduled jetting so a backup does not hit tenants and the business at once.

Old houses on steep streets

Frame houses on the hill above Bay Street often sit well above the street, with a long sewer lateral and water service running down a slope. Old clay and cast iron sewers crack where the ground shifts, and the steep grade can hide problems until a backup appears. A camera inspection maps the run, and repairs are targeted to the damaged section.

Converted houses and patchwork gas piping

Many older houses in Tompkinsville have been divided into multiple apartments over the years, each with its own range and sometimes its own heater. That leaves gas piping extended in pieces by different people. If you smell gas, leave and call National Grid first. After that, we find the leak, correct the piping and pressure test the system.
