Our family-owned company understands the regulations, permits and procedures that govern Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx.
When your water line needs repair, you need a team that knows NYC’s unique infrastructure inside and out. Harris Water Main & Sewer Contractors has served New York City for over a century. Four generations of plumbers have built our reputation on skill, integrity and dedication to every property owner we serve.
If your existing water line is made of lead or galvanized pipe, New York City law prohibits repairs. You cannot patch, splice or fix these materials under any circumstances. Lead and galvanized pipes corrode and become brittle over time, turning what seems like a simple repair into a dangerous, costly emergency. The only compliant solution is to replace the entire system with modern copper piping. We guide you through this process with transparency and care, ensuring your property meets all city codes.
We handle every aspect of water line repair projects with precision and efficiency:
Understanding why water lines fail can help you recognize warning signs early. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common culprits, as roots gravitate toward moisture and can crack or puncture pipes over time. Soil shifting and ground freezing during harsh winters also stress aging infrastructure. If you notice low water pressure, discolored water or mysterious wet spots in your yard, it’s time to repair the water line at the house connections before the problem worsens.
Older properties face additional risks. Galvanized pipes installed decades ago deteriorate from the inside out, while lead pipes pose structural and health hazards. Corrosion weakens these materials until they fail without warning. The cost for water line repair varies based on depth, accessibility, and material choice, but addressing problems early will almost always save money compared to emergency replacements.
