Nationwide Plumbers is a NYC Licensed Master Plumber (License #2023) in business since 1984, with 24/7 emergency plumbing in Williamsbridge. We repair boilers, sewer and drain lines, water heaters and gas piping for homeowners, landlords and businesses. Call 718-748-2727.
Williamsbridge sits east of the Bronx River in the north Bronx, crossed by Gun Hill Road and White Plains Road, with the 2 and 5 trains running overhead and Metro-North stopping at Williamsbridge station. The housing is a mix of two family frame houses, attached brick row houses and pre-war and post-war apartment buildings, with busy commercial blocks along White Plains Road and Gun Hill Road.
Older frame houses, some dating to the early twentieth century, often still have parts of their original plumbing: cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines and boilers that have been patched for years. The apartment buildings bring Local Law 152 inspections, steam systems and shared drain lines that serve many households. We work on both, dispatch around the clock and put every price in writing first.

Common plumbing issues in Williamsbridge
Rusty water from galvanized pipe
When tenants or owners see brown water first thing in the morning, or pressure drops at the upper floor of a two family house, galvanized supply pipe is a common cause. The steel corrodes from inside, shedding rust and narrowing the bore. We replace the worst sections first or repipe the house in stages so it stays livable during the work.
Drains that slow down along White Plains Road
Restaurants, bakeries and takeout shops along White Plains Road and Gun Hill Road share old building drains with the apartments above. Grease and food solids slowly narrow the line. We jet the line, check grease traps and camera the pipe so owners know when to schedule the next cleaning before it backs up.
Steam systems in older apartment buildings
Walk-up apartment buildings in Williamsbridge often run on one-pipe steam. Failed air vents, sagging pipes and dirty boiler water are the usual causes of uneven heat and noisy radiators. We service the boiler, replace vents, correct pipe pitch where we can and handle the Local Law 151 radiator inspection for the owner.

Plumbing in Williamsbridge: FAQ
Can you repipe a two family house without moving everyone out?
Usually, yes. We repipe one section or one floor at a time and restore water at the end of each day where possible. Openings are kept to what is needed for the pipe runs. You get the full plan and price in writing first.
How do I know if my building needs a Local Law 152 inspection?
If your building has gas piping and is not a one or two family home, it needs a Local Law 152 inspection on its cycle. We inspect, file the GPS2 and quote any repairs. See Local Law 152.
Do you handle commercial drain problems on Gun Hill Road?
Yes. We clear and jet restaurant and shop drains, check grease traps, repair restroom fixtures and test backflow devices for businesses on Gun Hill Road and White Plains Road. Where possible we schedule around business hours.
Are your estimates free?
Estimates on replacement and installation work, such as water heaters, boilers and repiping, are free. Every job gets a written estimate before work starts, so you know the price before you approve anything.
