Whatever's leaking, dripping, clogged, or cold — diagnosed and fixed by one master plumber.
General Plumbing & Heating Repairs
Not every problem fits a neat category. Sometimes it's a mix — a leak that turns out to be a heating pipe, a cold room that's a plumbing issue, a fixture that's also a drain problem.
Bob handles general plumbing and heating repairs in Bay Ridge single-family homes — the calls that need a master plumber who can look at the whole system, not just one piece of it. (Note: Bob does not perform gas work.)
- ✓Mixed plumbing & heating diagnostics
- ✓Whole-home leak & pressure checks

- ✓Seasonal plumbing & heating upkeep
What Bob Does NOT Do
