[NYC Repipe & Repair](https://nycrepipe.com/) is a New York City plumbing company that finds and fixes water leaks, repairs damaged supply pipe and, when the pipe itself has failed, replaces it with copper. It works in New York City: Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, from a shop at 286 Hamilton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11231.

## What the company does

Most calls start with a symptom: water through a ceiling, brown water in the morning, a top-floor shower that won't hold pressure. The first job is to find out which problem it is. Lines are isolated and pressure-tested before any wall is opened, so a single failed joint gets a repair price and a failed system gets a [repipe](https://nycrepipe.com/whole-house-repiping/) price, not the other way round.

## The standards it works to

-   Water distribution in **Type L copper** (ASTM B88), the material listed in Table 605.4 of the 2022 NYC Plumbing Code. [Why not PEX?](https://nycrepipe.com/answers/copper-vs-pex-nyc/)
-   Lead-free brass and fittings to **NSF/ANSI 372**, and ASSE 1079 dielectric transitions where copper meets old steel.
-   Permitted work filed in **DOB NOW: Build** by, or under, a NYC Licensed Master Plumber, then pressure-tested and signed off.
-   No removable push-fit fittings and no pipe lining, both prohibited by the NYC code for this work.

## How pricing works

Published NYC price ranges, each with its source, are on every service page and in [the Price Report](https://nycrepipe.com/answers/repiping-cost-nyc/). Your price is written and itemized after a free on-site visit, including the DOB permit and the wall-opening plan, before anything is booked. The [repipe cost estimator](https://nycrepipe.com/tools/repipe-cost-estimator/) gives a planning range without a call.

The permit trail

## What a legal NYC repipe *leaves on the record*

Every permitted repipe produces the same paper trail at the Department of Buildings. It's what a buyer's attorney, a co-op board or a lender will look for later.
