Plumbing Services

Considering commercial or residential pipe replacement? Sure it’s expensive, but did you know a new pipe network can serve to eliminate lingering plumbing issues altogether? Having a brand-new WaterHouse Plumbing system in place will help you avoid having to do any further repairs for many years down the road. The first step is to get an inspection and an estimate by WaterHouse Plumbing. Our team will let you know if you should go for a small repair, repipe a single section, or do a complete repipe of your entire house.

So what are some of the reasons you would have WaterHouse repipe your Manhattan home or business? Galvanized steel is one. This material was a staple in piping American homes pre-World War II. The main problem with galvanized pipes, however, is that, after a certain number of years, the material has been known to corrode. Once corrosion starts building up in these pipes, water flow is restricted and sediment can end up in your drinking water. Another reason to commit to pipe replacement is lead. While Manhattan is virtually lead-free, there are still some homes and businesses (built in the 1920s) with lead pipes. In addition to these good reasons for pipe replacement, you may want to consider a repiping if you’re remodeling. Installing new bathroom or other plumbing fixtures? Replacing them and doing a repipe at the same time can save you time and money!

Contrary to popular opinion, access to hot water is more than a convenience—it’s a daily necessity for cooking, cleaning, bathing, doing laundry, and washing dishes. WaterHouse Plumbing proudly installs and services high-efficiency water heaters throughout Manhattan and we offer 24/7 emergency services! 

Our water heaters and plumbing products are durable and reliable, ensuring you’re able to meet the demands of your household day after day, year after year. After all, your water heater works harder than any other plumbing fixture in your home or business. Before we walk you through the options, we’ll make note of what type and size of water heater you need to meet your daily hot water needs. How is that determined, you ask? Good question. Do you have a small condo or a large house? Is it just you and your partner, or do you have multiple family members and occasional guests? The size and occupancy of your household are some of the most important factors to consider when searching for the right water heater. Not to worry! WaterHouse Plumbing has the necessary expertise to ensure the last person showering won’t get stuck with cold water! We’ll also want to take into account factors like multiple people showering, running the dishwasher, washing dishes at the faucet, and doing laundry at the same time. When that’s the case, you’ll require a water heater that’s up to the task. Whether you choose a Rheem, Ecosmart, Westinghouse, or Bosch will depend on budget, rating, function, and warranty.  

There are two primary types of water heaters: storage tank water heaters and tankless water heaters. Newer tankless units can support up to 9.8 gallons of water per minute simultaneously. Tankless units are, however, more expensive. Before finding the right size water heater, we’ll want to determine which type you’d like to purchase. 

Benefits of Each:

Tankless Water Heaters

• Best Energy Efficiency
• Lower Bills
• Hot Water On-Demand

Storage Tank Water Heaters

• More Affordable Upfront Cost
• Great for Large Households
