Nationwide Plumbers is a NYC Licensed Master Plumber (License #2023) in business since 1984, providing 24/7 emergency plumbing in Kingsbridge. We handle boilers, drains, sewer lines, water heaters and gas piping for buildings, homes and shops. Call 718-748-2727.
Kingsbridge centers on Broadway under the elevated 1 train, with stops at 231st and 238th Streets, and stretches up to Van Cortlandt Park. The housing is varied: pre-war and post-war apartment buildings, many of them co-ops, sit alongside two family houses and small brick buildings on streets that climb the hills toward Riverdale. Broadway itself is a busy strip of shops, restaurants and services.
With that mix, our Kingsbridge work runs from co-op boiler rooms to the basement of a two family house. Co-op boards need certificates of insurance and Local Law 152 inspections. Homeowners need water heaters, sewer laterals and leak repairs. Businesses on Broadway need drains cleared and restrooms working. We dispatch 24/7, we speak English, Spanish and French, and we put every estimate in writing.

Common plumbing issues in Kingsbridge
Co-op alteration work with board approval
Many Kingsbridge co-ops require an alteration agreement, a licensed plumber and a certificate of insurance before a shareholder can redo a bathroom or kitchen. We provide the COI and license information the managing agent asks for, file permits where the work needs them, and coordinate water shutdowns with the super.
Sewer laterals under sloped yards
Two family houses on the hilly side streets often have sewer laterals that run under a sloped yard or driveway to the street. Old cast iron or clay pipe settles, and roots from mature trees find the joints. We clean the line, inspect it with a camera and, if a section has failed, give a written estimate for repair.
Steam heat in post-war co-ops
Some of Kingsbridge's larger co-ops were built after the war with central steam or hot water systems that are now decades old. Burners need tuning, controls wear out and steam traps fail. We service the plant, replace worn components and help the board plan and budget for eventual boiler replacement.

Plumbing in Kingsbridge: FAQ
What does my co-op need from a plumber before a bathroom renovation?
Most boards want a certificate of insurance naming the co-op and managing agent, the plumber's license information, and a description of the work. Some require permits or drawings. We supply the paperwork and work within the building's rules for hours and shutdowns.
Do you install ductless AC in Kingsbridge apartments?
Yes. We install ductless split systems and AC units for apartments and houses, subject to building approval where needed. We check the electrical and mounting requirements first and work within co-op rules on exterior units. See our HVAC services for details.
My two family house keeps getting sewer backups. Can you find out why?
Yes. We clear the line and run a camera from the cleanout to the street to find roots, breaks or sags. Then we tell you whether regular cleaning will work or the lateral needs repair.
Do you service storefronts under the 1 train on Broadway?
Yes. We clear drains, repair restroom fixtures, replace water heaters and test backflow devices for businesses along Broadway. Planned work can be scheduled around store hours, and we dispatch 24/7 when a restroom or drain fails during the day.
