About NYPlumbingRescue

NYPlumbingRescue operates a New York-focused referral directory for emergency plumbing services. We do not repair pipes, replace water heaters, or perform any related work. We connect New York homeowners with independent locally-licensed master plumbers through a pay-per-call affiliate network for 24/7 emergency response.

How we make money

When a call results in a booked job, the provider's network pays NYPlumbingRescue a referral fee. You pay the plumber directly. The fee does not increase your quoted price.

How we vet New York plumbers

New York licenses plumbers locally — there is no statewide license. NYC requires a Master Plumber license issued by the NYC Department of Buildings. Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk, Erie, Monroe, and other counties each have their own licensing boards. Our network partners are verified for active locally-issued plumber's license, general liability insurance ($1M+), and worker's comp. Always verify a plumber's license with the issuing authority for the city of work — for NYC: nyc.gov/buildings.
