Plumbing and leak detection across Lower Manhattan demand intimate familiarity with older building construction, landmark preservation guidelines, and cooperative board alteration agreements. From the cobblestone streets of SoHo to the converted industrial warehouses of Tribeca and the historic corridors of Little Italy, piping systems operate under intense structural demands. Water traveling along a timber beam in one building may emerge two floors below and thirty feet horizontally from the actual pipe fissure.
Our technicians apply non-invasive electronic listening gear, acoustic listening discs, and infrared thermal imaging to trace moisture pathways without indiscriminately destroying historical plaster, original brickwork, or imported hardwood flooring.
