Emergency Plumbing Challenges Unique to Getty Square & Downtown Yonkers 10701

Need a plumber in Getty Square or South Yonkers? We've been fixing plumbing emergencies in the 10701 zip code since 2008. From the old apartment buildings on Riverdale Avenue to the mixed-use buildings downtown, we know the plumbing issues that come with this area's older infrastructure.

Getty Square and South Yonkers have some of the oldest buildings in Westchester County. If you live here, you already know the plumbing problems that come with age:

​

Old Apartment Buildings - The pre-war buildings along Main Street, Riverdale Avenue, and around Getty Square have shared plumbing systems built in the 1920s-1940s. We get calls every week for:

• Sewage backups affecting multiple units when the main line clogs

• Low water pressure on upper floors (especially buildings over 4 stories)

• Radiator leaks and boiler failures during winter

• Galvanized pipes that are corroded from the inside

• Shared drain lines that back up into first-floor units

​

Mixed-Use Buildings - The commercial/residential buildings near the waterfront and downtown have unique problems. Restaurant grease from ground-floor businesses flows into residential lines and causes blockages. We've cleared hundreds of these drains.

​

Hudson River Proximity - Buildings near the waterfront deal with higher water tables. Basement flooding, sump pump failures, and foundation seepage are constant issues, especially during heavy rain or spring thaw.

​

Old Infrastructure - Many buildings in 10701 still have the original cast iron drain pipes and galvanized supply lines. These eventually fail. When they do, you get sewage backing up into your apartment or water damage in walls and ceilings.
