Corona is a neighborhood of attached and semi-detached two- and three-family houses, older frame homes and mid-rise apartment buildings, with a busy shopping strip under the 7 train along Roosevelt Avenue. The older section around 108th Street dates back well over a century, and many houses there have been expanded and divided over the years. Every addition and conversion leaves its mark on the plumbing, from undersized drains to tangled gas branches.

To the east, Flushing Meadows Corona Park and the old World's Fair grounds sit on land that was once marsh, and several blocks nearby are low-lying. Houses with basement units in those areas need sewer lines and ejector pumps that keep working in heavy rain. We serve all of Corona with 24/7 dispatch, including the commercial blocks around Corona Plaza and Junction Boulevard.

Common plumbing issues in Corona
Piping left over from house conversions
Many Corona houses were split into more units than they were built for. That often means new bathrooms tied into old drain lines, long horizontal runs without enough pitch, and gas branches added over the years without a clear plan. We trace the existing system, fix the problem in front of us, and tell you plainly if a section needs to be rerun so it stops causing repeat calls.
Basement flooding in low blocks
On the lower streets toward the park, heavy storms can overwhelm the sewer and push water back into basements through floor drains. An ejector pump, a properly installed check valve and a clean lateral make a real difference. We size and install pumps, replace worn units and look at whether a backwater valve fits your setup.
Clay laterals and tree roots
Older frame houses near 108th Street often still drain through clay pipe to the street. Roots work into the joints and catch paper and grease until the line stops. We clear the roots, show you the camera view and give you the options, from routine cleaning to spot repair or full replacement.

Plumbing in Corona: FAQ
Is an ejector pump the same as a sump pump?
No. A sump pump moves groundwater or rainwater out of a pit. A sewage ejector pump lifts waste from a basement bathroom or laundry up to a sewer line that sits higher than the fixture. Many Corona basements need one or the other, and some need both. We install and replace both types.
I smell gas in my house. What should I do?
Leave the house and call 911 or the gas utility from outside, then call us. Do not switch lights or appliances on or off. Once the utility makes it safe, we find and repair the leak and help get your gas restored. See our gas line repair page.
Can I pay for a sewer replacement over time?
Yes. We offer financing through Wisetack for larger jobs like sewer line replacement, repiping and boilers. You get a written estimate first, then you can check your options. Details are on our financing page.
