Plumbing questions from Shelter Island customers
Basements in and around Shelter Island take water in a heavy spring, and the two systems standing between you and a flooded floor are the sump pump and the sewer lateral. Both fail silently and both fail at the worst possible moment. Testing a pump properly takes ten minutes and it is worth doing before the melt, not during it.
Every job in Shelter Island starts with a diagnosis and a price. You approve the number before any work starts, and that includes nights, weekends and holidays. If we find something else once the wall is open, work stops and we talk to you before it carries on.
If water is running right now: close your main shut-off, then open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure out of the pipes. If the water is near anything electrical, cut power to that area at the panel. Then call (888) 809-6756.

Reviews from Shelter Island and nearby
Pipes froze in the garage wall during that cold snap. They thawed it without any flame, stayed while the water came back, and caught a split before it soaked the drywall.
Tom H.Frozen pipe repair · Shelter Island, NYWater bill nearly doubled and I couldn't find anything. They tracked it to a slab leak under the hallway with listening gear, cut a small square in the floor, and that was that.
Rob C.Leak detection · Shelter Island, NYThe kitchen sink had been clogging every couple of months for two years. This time they actually looked at why, found the trap arm was pitched wrong, and re-piped it. Hasn't blocked since.
Ellen W.Drain cleaning · Shelter Island, NYPlumbing questions from Shelter Island customers
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Close your main water shut-off, then open the lowest faucet in the house to relieve pressure in the pipes. If the water is near anything electrical, cut power to that area at the panel. If you smell gas, leave the building and call your gas utility from outside.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
After-hours work in Shelter Island carries a higher rate than a scheduled weekday appointment. That rate is quoted on the phone before we dispatch, so the number you agree to is the number on the invoice.
What areas around Shelter Island do you cover?
We cover Shelter Island and the surrounding towns and villages, and our coverage extends across New York. If you are not sure whether your address is in range, call and ask - it takes a moment to check.
Do I need to be home for the appointment?
For most work, yes, at least to give access and approve the price. For some scheduled exterior work we can arrange otherwise - just mention it when you book.
Can you come out today?
Same-day appointments in Shelter Island are usually available for drain cleaning, water heater faults, leaks and fixture repairs. True emergencies are dispatched as soon as a van is free, day or night.
Do you really answer the phone 24 hours a day in Shelter Island?
