Dyker Heights is mostly detached and semi-detached one- and two-family homes, many of them large houses built between the 1910s and the 1960s, plus attached brick row houses and small multifamily buildings along the avenues. Those homes have their own set of plumbing problems, and we see them every week.

Common plumbing issues in Dyker Heights
Large homes with long sewer runs. Many Dyker Heights houses sit back from the street with deep front yards and driveways. That means a long sewer line between the house trap and the city sewer, and more pipe that can crack, settle or fill with roots from street and yard trees. A camera inspection shows exactly where the problem is before anyone digs, and hydro jetting clears roots and grease from the full length of the line.
Older boilers in big houses. Heating a large detached house takes a large boiler, and many homes still run original or decades-old steam or hot water systems. We repair burners, low-water cutoffs, circulators and controls, and when a boiler is at the end of its life we size and install a new one with a written estimate.
Gas work for kitchens, dryers and generators. Dyker Heights homeowners renovate a lot of kitchens and add gas dryers and backup generators. Every one of those gas connections needs a licensed master plumber and, in most cases, a DOB filing. Gas hooked up without a permit is one of the most common reasons National Grid shuts gas off. We do it to code the first time.
Basement water. Finished basements are common here. Floor drains can back up during heavy rain, and basement bathrooms below the sewer level depend on ejector pumps. We clear the lines, install backwater valves where they make sense, and replace failed pumps.
Holiday season loads. Dyker Heights is famous for its holiday lights, and the season brings guests, cold snaps and heavy use of heating and hot water. A boiler or water heater checkup in the fall is the best way to avoid a no-heat call in December.
