Sewer backup and sewer repair across Queens
Queens sewer work is houses and roots. The sewer lateral from a house in Bayside, Fresh Meadows, Hollis or Jamaica runs under a front yard with a street tree over it, and that tree finds every joint in a clay pipe. We jet, camera, and then line or replace depending on what the camera shows. Low-lying Howard Beach, Rosedale, Flushing and the Rockaways back up when the city system surcharges in storms, where a backwater valve stops it. Attached houses in Ridgewood and Glendale sometimes share a common sewer run, which changes who is responsible and how we approach the repair.
From Greenpoint we reach western Queens over the Pulaski and Kosciuszko bridges in minutes, and the Van Wyck and Grand Central take us to Flushing, Jamaica and the Rockaways.

Questions from Queens
Who do I call for a sewer backup in Queens?
Call GW Mechanical Corp at 646-980-2411, any time. Stop using water in the building first. We clear the line, camera it, and repair the cause.
Why does my Queens basement flood when it rains?
The city sewer is backing up into your house line. A backwater valve on the house sewer closes during storms and keeps sewage out of the basement.
Do you respond to sewer backups in Queens at night?
Yes, 24/7. Stop using water in the building, keep people away from the water, and call. We clear the line first and plan the repair second.
Who is responsible for the sewer line under the sidewalk in Queens?
The property owner, all the way to the connection at the city main. Work there needs DEP and DOT permits and a licensed master plumber, which we provide.
Why does my Queens basement back up only in heavy rain?
The city sewer is surcharging and pushing back into your line. A backwater valve on the house sewer closes when that happens and keeps sewage out of the basement.
