Emergency Plumbing

When a pipe bursts at 2 a.m. or a sewer line backs up on a holiday weekend, the last thing you want to hear is an answering service. Hempstead Plumber runs a true 24 hour plumber line answered by a real person, with a licensed master plumber on call every night, weekend, and holiday. Most emergency calls in Hempstead get a truck on site within 2 to 4 hours. We handle the situations that cannot wait until morning: burst pipes, sewer backups, no hot water in winter, gas smells, sump pump failures during a storm, and water heaters that have flooded a basement.

Our trucks are stocked with the parts and tools needed to stop the damage on the first visit, including pumps, shut-off valves, copper, PEX, and SharkBite fittings, so you do not lose another night while we wait on a supply house. Pricing is up front before any work starts, and the same after-hours plumber rate applies whether you call us at noon or at midnight. We also walk you through how to safely shut off water, gas, or power on the phone before we arrive. If your situation qualifies as an emergency 24 7 plumbing call, save time and call us first.

Drain Cleaning

A slow drain or a fully clogged drain almost always gets worse, never better. Whether it is a clogged toilet, a kitchen sink drain backed up with grease, a shower drain clogged with hair and soap, or a main drain backing up across multiple fixtures, we take it apart and fix the actual cause instead of just rinsing the symptom away. Our standard drain cleaning starts with a camera inspection to see exactly what is in the line, then a motorized snake or hydro jet sized to the pipe diameter.

For tougher commercial or sewer-side blockages we offer drain jetting and sewer rodding that scour the inside of the pipe back to bare wall, removing roots, scale, grease, and wipes that drano and over-the-counter products cannot touch. We service sink drainage, bathtub drains, shower drains, kitchen sink drains, floor drains, and main building drains. If a fixture has clogged repeatedly, we will recommend whether you have a venting issue, a belly in the line, or a root intrusion, and quote the right long term fix. Drain cleaning near me searches usually need someone today, so we hold same-day slots for blocked toilets and kitchen lines that have stopped a household.

Water Heater Repair

Most cold-shower calls turn out to be a fixable repair, not a full replacement. We service every common water heater in Hempstead homes: gas water heater repair, electric water heater repair, Rheem water heater repair, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Navien tankless water heaters, Rinnai tankless water heaters, and condensing units. Common repairs include thermocouple and gas-valve replacement, heating-element and thermostat replacement on electric tanks, dip-tube and anode-rod service, water heater pilot light troubleshooting, error-code diagnosis on tankless units, descaling and flushing, and replacement of leaking T&P valves.

We also install and service the water heater expansion tank that Nassau County code now requires on most newer installs, which protects the system from thermocouple and dip-tube failure caused by closed-loop water pressure. Every service call starts with a real diagnosis, and we tell you in plain language whether a repair makes sense given the age, condition, and warranty of your unit. If a repair will buy you a year or two of life, we will quote it that way; if you are throwing money at a 13 year old leaking water heater, we will say so honestly. Same-day water heater repair near me appointments are usually available across Hempstead and Garden City.

Water Heater Replacement

When a water heater hits ten to twelve years old, has a rusty leak at the bottom, or simply cannot keep up with the household, replacement is the right move. We help Hempstead homeowners pick the right unit for their actual hot-water demand and venting situation: a 40 or 50 gallon water heater install for traditional tank service, a Navien tankless water heater for endless hot water and reclaimed closet space, a Rinnai tankless install for whole-house performance, or a hybrid heat-pump unit for the lowest operating cost.

Every quote includes the unit, the new water heater expansion tank, code-required gas piping or electrical work, an updated drain pan and condensate line, hauling away the old tank, and a permit pulled with the Town of Hempstead when required. Our tankless water heater installation includes properly sized stainless venting, gas-line resizing where needed, and a flush kit pre-plumbed so future tankless water heater maintenance is easy. We are an installer for the major brands, so you also get the longest manufacturer warranty available. Most hot water heater replacement jobs are finished in a single day with no overnight loss of hot water, and we leave the closet cleaner than we found it.

Leak Detection

Not every leak shows up as a puddle. A high water bill, a damp baseboard, a warm spot on a slab floor, or a faint hiss in a wall is often the only clue that water is escaping somewhere it should not. Our water leak detection service uses electronic acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and tracer-gas tools to find hidden pipe leaks, slab leaks, and pinhole copper leaks without ripping out a single piece of drywall to start. Once we know exactly where the leak is, we open a small targeted area, complete the water leak repair, and patch it back.

We also handle the visible leaks that home depot fixes never seem to last on: a shower faucet leaking, bathtub faucet leaking, outdoor spigot leaking, leaky faucet repair on Delta, Moen, Pfister, and Kohler trim, toilets leaking from the tank, and pipe leak repair on copper, CPVC, and PEX. If you smell rotten eggs or hear hissing near a meter, treat it as a gas leak repair emergency and call our line first. As a leak detection specialist, we document every finding in writing with photos and exact locations, so you have a clean record for your insurance carrier and a clear paper trail if a follow-up dispute or warranty claim ever comes up.

Sewer Line Repair

Sewer trouble has a way of showing up on the worst possible day, often as multiple drains backing up at once or sewage seeping into a basement. Hempstead Plumber starts every sewer line repair the same way: a camera inspection of the lateral from the cleanout out to the public main, recorded so you can watch what we saw. From there we recommend the least invasive option that will actually solve the problem. For root intrusion and grease, we offer sewer line cleaning, sewer rodding, and high-pressure jetting sewer line service that scours the pipe back to its original diameter.

For broken clay tile, bellied sections, offset joints, and crushed cast iron, we quote a traditional dig-and-replace or a trenchless sewer line replacement that pulls a new HDPE pipe through the existing path with only two small access pits. We also handle sewer cleanout installations so future calls do not require pulling a toilet, and septic tank repair for the homes still on private septic. Every sewer repair near me job is documented with before-and-after camera footage and includes a written warranty on workmanship. We pull the Nassau County permit when one is required and coordinate the final inspection with the building department ourselves, so you do not have to take a day off work to meet an inspector or chase down sign-off paperwork after the fact.

Bathroom Plumbing

From a single dripping faucet to a full bathroom remodel, we handle every plumbing job a Hempstead bathroom can throw at us. Common service calls include toilet installation, toilet repair, blocked toilet plumber visits, toilet replacement on a leaking wax ring, and replacing the bolts and water line on a wobbling bowl. We install and service Delta bathtub faucet trim, Pfister bathtub faucet kits, Gerber toilets, Kohler one-piece units, and Ferguson bath fixtures, plus shower faucet replacement, bathroom faucet replacement, and bathtub faucet replacement on tile and fiberglass walls.

For renovations we run new supply lines and DWV piping for relocated vanities, freestanding tubs, walk-in showers, and bidet installations, and we coordinate with your tile setter and contractor so rough-ins land in the right spots the first time. Slow tubs and recurring shower faucet leaking issues usually trace back to a worn cartridge, a bad valve, or a pinhole leak in the supply, and we carry the parts to fix the most common Delta, Moen, Pfister, and Kohler valves on the truck. Every bathroom plumbing job is permitted, pressure tested, and left clean. If you are planning a remodel, get us in early so the plumbing pre-work is right before tile goes up.

Kitchen Plumbing

The kitchen sees more daily plumbing wear than any other room, and most calls fall into a few clear buckets. We handle garbage disposal installation, garbage disposal repair, fix garbage disposal jams that the reset button cannot solve, and full garbage disposal replacement when a unit is leaking from the body or seized solid. We carry standard and premium InSinkErator and Waste King units in stock so most installs are same-day. Other common kitchen plumbing calls include kitchen faucet replacement on Moen, Delta, Kohler, and Grohe fittings, blocked kitchen sink clearing, kitchen sink drain repair and reroute, P-trap and drain pipe replacement under the sink, ice-maker line repair, and dishwasher plumbing on new installs and unit swaps.

If your kitchen pipe has been patched repeatedly with rubber couplings, we can replace the trap arm and tailpiece in a clean, code-compliant configuration that will not leak. For full kitchen renovations we rough in supply, drain, vent, and gas lines for islands, pot fillers, instant-hot taps, and reverse-osmosis drinking water systems, and we coordinate timing so cabinet and counter installers are not waiting on the plumber. Every kitchen plumbers near me job is pressure tested and run under load before we leave, and final connections are wrapped, labeled, and photographed for your records.

Pipe Repair

Pipe problems range from a slow pinhole drip to a full burst pipe in a basement. Our pipe repair work covers it all: copper pipe repair on pinhole leaks and joints, water pipe repair on PVC and CPVC supply, repair and replacement of failing polybutylene pipes still found in some Hempstead homes, and full repipe specialists work for houses with chronic leaks across multiple lines. For drain side issues we replace P-traps, trap arms, branch drains, vent stacks, and any 4 inch PVC pipe that has cracked or pulled apart.

When you call a plumber for burst pipes, the first job is to stop the water; we carry SharkBite connectors, sharkbite plumbing fittings, ProPress, and traditional sweat equipment so we can make a permanent repair on whatever material your home was built with. For larger projects we plan a clean repipe in copper or PEX, run during off hours where possible, with cleanouts and shutoffs added in the right places so future repairs are cheap. Every pipe burst in house we touch gets a pressure test and a written workmanship warranty before we close up the wall. We also coordinate with insurance adjusters and remediation companies on water damage claims.

Frozen Pipes Repair

Hempstead winters routinely produce overnight lows that freeze the unprotected plumbing in crawlspaces, exterior walls, garages, and basements that lose heat. Plumbing frozen pipes are a two-part problem: thaw the line safely, then repair any cracks the ice created before the water turns back on. Our frozen pipes service starts with locating the freeze using thermal imaging, isolating the run with the nearest shut-off, and thawing it with controlled heat (never an open flame) so the surrounding wood, insulation, and adjacent pipes are not damaged. Once flow is restored, we pressure test the line to find any splits, repair them in copper, PEX, or CPVC, and insulate or reroute the section to keep it from happening again.

If a section has already burst, we shut down the property quickly to limit water damage, and coordinate with mitigation crews if drying is needed. We also do off-season prep, installing pipe insulation, freeze-resistant outdoor sillcocks, heat tape on at-risk runs, and shut-off valve upgrades that make it easier to drain a vacant house in winter. Frozen water pipes calls are treated as emergencies and we hold winter slots specifically for thaw and burst response, with priority service for elderly residents, families with young kids, and rental properties where tenants are without water on a freezing night.

Sump Pumps

A sump pump is the difference between a damp basement and a destroyed one, and on Long Island a properly sized pump matters every storm. We install, service, and replace sump pumps for Hempstead homes from cast iron primary units to high-capacity submersible pumps, plus battery and water-powered backup systems that keep working when the power goes out at the worst possible time. Common sump pump plumber calls include float-switch failures, units that run constantly, units that will not run at all, check-valve replacement, discharge-line freeze prevention, and full pit cleanouts.

When we install a new system we size the pump for the actual gallons-per-minute the pit has to handle, replace the discharge line out to a code-compliant termination point, and add a quiet-running check valve so you do not hear the pump cycle from upstairs. As a sump pump installer near me option we also offer dual-pump systems with built-in alarms for finished basements where flood protection has to be near absolute. Every sump pump plumbing job ends with a live water test in your pit and a written maintenance schedule. We can also tie a sump line to a French drain or perimeter drain if water is finding the basement another way.

Gas Boiler Repair

When a gas boiler in a Hempstead home loses heat in February, you need a plumber for boiler near me who actually understands hydronic systems, not just water pipes. Our licensed gas boiler repair work covers cast iron, steel, and high-efficiency condensing boilers from Weil-McLain, Burnham, Slant/Fin, Buderus, Navien, and Bosch. The most common gas boiler repair calls we run are no-heat starts (often a thermocouple, gas valve, or flame sensor), low pressure on the boiler gauge, water leaking from a relief valve or boiler drain, no-fire ignition lockouts on condensing units, hot zones that will not call for heat (zone valves and thermostats), short-cycling, and chronic banging from steam systems.

We arrive with the parts that fail most often on Long Island boilers in our trucks, and we work with our supplier to source OEM components when something less common is needed. Beyond the immediate fix, we walk you through what is causing the failure (water chemistry, undersized expansion tank, makeup-water valve issues) and quote what it would take to make the boiler run quietly through the next ten winters. We are licensed for natural gas and CSST work in Nassau County, pull permits whenever required, and can also schedule a yearly tune-up so a small problem never becomes a no-heat call in February.

Gas Boiler Installation

Replacing a 30 year old cast iron boiler with a modern condensing unit is one of the highest-impact upgrades a Hempstead homeowner can make, and one of the easiest to do badly. Our gas boiler installation process starts with a real heat-loss calculation rather than a copy of the existing nameplate, so the new unit is sized to the house and zoning rather than oversized out of habit. From there we walk you through the choice between a high-efficiency condensing boiler with outdoor reset and primary-secondary piping for the lowest fuel bill, or a quiet sealed-combustion atmospheric unit where venting and gas service make condensing impractical.

Every install includes properly sized stainless venting, a new expansion tank, an air separator, modern zone control, an indirect water heater (if requested), permits with the Town of Hempstead, and a full combustion analysis at startup. We are factory-trained on the brands we install, so the manufacturer registration and longest available warranty are activated for you on day one. After commissioning we do a walkthrough of the new control, set up outdoor reset curves for your house, and schedule a free first-year tune up. Gas boiler installation jobs are typically completed in two days with minimal heat downtime.
