New York Biggest Plumbing Problems
100-Year-Old Cast Iron and Galvanized in Pre-War Buildings
New York City has some of the oldest residential plumbing in the country. Pre-war buildings throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens from the 1880s through 1940s have cast iron drain systems, galvanized supply lines, and in some cases original lead pipes now 80 to 140 years old.
Frozen Pipes in New York Winters
New York City experiences harsh winters with temperatures regularly dropping below 10F. Pre-war buildings with uninsulated exterior walls and basement spaces have high pipe freeze vulnerability during polar air events.
Combined Sewer Overflow and Basement Flooding
New York City runs a combined sewer system in most neighborhoods. Major rain events push sewage back through basement floor drains throughout the outer boroughs and low-lying Manhattan neighborhoods.
Tree Root Sewer Intrusion in Outer Borough Neighborhoods
Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island established neighborhoods have mature tree canopies with root systems that have been infiltrating older clay tile and cast iron sewer laterals for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions - New York Plumbing
How old is the plumbing in New York City pre-war buildings?

Why does my NYC basement flood during heavy rain?
