Kew Gardens Hills was mostly built in the 1940s and 1950s. Its streets are lined with attached and semi-detached brick houses and detached homes, along with garden apartment complexes and some six-story apartment buildings. Main Street runs through the center with a long stretch of stores, bakeries and restaurants, and Jewel Avenue, 72nd Avenue and Union Turnpike cross it. Flushing Meadows Corona Park sits just to the west.
Post-war homes here have their own patterns: copper and galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and hot water or steam boilers that are now reaching the end of their life. Many families have expanded kitchens or added bathrooms, which puts more load on the original drain lines. On Main Street, restaurants and food shops need drain lines and grease traps that keep up. We dispatch 24/7 and give written estimates.

Common plumbing issues in Kew Gardens Hills
Water heaters that cannot keep up
Large households and homes with added bathrooms often outgrow the original water heater. Running out of hot water halfway through the morning is the usual sign. Options include a larger tank, a high-recovery model or a tankless unit if the gas line and venting allow it. We look at your use and your setup and give a written estimate for each choice.
Kitchen drains in remodeled homes
When kitchens are expanded or relocated, the new sink and dishwasher are often tied into an old drain line with marginal pitch. Grease settles in that flat run and the drain slows again within months. We clear the line, check it with a camera and, when needed, rework the connection so it drains properly.
Grease lines in Main Street storefronts
Restaurants and food shops along Main Street produce a lot of grease, and lines that run under the floor to the street sewer can close up fast. Regular jetting keeps them open. We also check grease traps and backflow devices so the business stays in compliance and avoids a weekend shutdown.

Plumbing in Kew Gardens Hills: FAQ
What size water heater does a large household need?
It depends on the number of bathrooms, how many showers run at the same time and appliances like dishwashers and washers. Many larger households need more than a standard 40-gallon tank. We size the heater to your use. Our water heater page covers tank and tankless options.
How often should a restaurant line be jetted?
It depends on the menu and volume. Many grease-heavy kitchens benefit from jetting a few times a year, before the line closes up during a busy period. Our hydro jetting comes with a 45-day guarantee.
Can you add a gas line for a new range?
Yes. We run new gas piping sized for the appliance, pressure test it and handle the required permits and inspection. If you are remodeling the kitchen, we can coordinate the gas, water and drain work together. See our gas line page.
