When a property manager has six units and a water heater that quit overnight, the call that matters is the one that gets answered and gets someone out. JMK Plumbing & Heating handles plumbing repair and installation across White Plains, from the kind of building where a landlord fields calls from tenants to the kind where a facilities contact runs a work order through a system before breakfast. We cover the full scope of residential and commercial plumbing, and we are available every day from 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
White Plains carries a mix of older multifamily buildings, commercial properties, and single-family homes, and the plumbing in each of them has its own history. A building that has been through several owners may have repairs stacked on top of repairs, with supply lines from different eras running side by side. We come in, assess what is there, and tell you what needs to happen before a wrench comes out. Work is performed by licensed plumbers who know how to move through an occupied building without turning a repair into a disruption.
Same-day appointments are often available, and the process is straightforward. You call, describe the situation, and we scope the job on the phone. If it is urgent, we tell you the earliest available time and move from there. If it can be scheduled, we find a window that works around the property and whoever is in it.
For tenants who need to be home and businesses that cannot close for a repair, we work around the schedule rather than against it. We are open every day from 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM, which covers early calls before a workday starts and evening situations that come up after hours. When a problem will not keep, that window matters.
We show up ready to get to work. The appointment is confirmed before the visit, access is sorted in advance, and the plumber arrives knowing what the job involves.
The price is arrived at by scoping the job. What the fault turns out to be, what has to come apart to reach it, and what the repair or replacement involves are the things that move a quote. A faucet that needs a cartridge is a different job from a supply line that has been leaking inside a wall for six months. We tell you the price before anything is scheduled, and you know what it covers before work begins.
If you are calling about a larger project, the same process applies. We ask the right questions, scope it accurately, and give you a number that reflects what the job actually is. Ask what the quote covers and you get a straight answer. One call, and a plumber is on the way.
A water stain on a ceiling, paint bubbling off a wall, a floor that has gone soft in one corner. The visible damage is almost never where the leak is. Supply lines run through walls and under floors before they reach a fixture, and a slow seep can travel a long way before it surfaces somewhere you can see it.
We locate the source before we open anything up. That means following the water back to where it is entering the building material rather than cutting into the first wall that shows a stain. Once the source is confirmed, the repair is made and pressure-tested before the job is called done. That step matters because a repair that holds on the surface and fails at the fitting a week later is not a finished repair.
Older buildings in this area often have supply lines that have been patched rather than replaced. When a leak comes back at a different point on the same run, it is usually the pipe that has reached the end of its life rather than a one-off failure. We tell you what we found and what the options are.
A single slow drain at one fixture points at that fixture, or at the short run of pipe immediately below it. Hair, soap buildup, and grease are the usual causes, and the fix is at the drain or just below it.
When multiple fixtures are draining slowly, or when a backup at one fixture causes water to appear at another, the problem is further down. That pattern points to the main drain line, and clearing it at the fixture level will not hold. We assess where the blockage is before recommending a method, because the right approach for a clog at a sink trap is not the right approach for a root intrusion forty feet into the sewer lateral.
The job gets scoped and priced before a wrench comes out. That applies to drain work the same as it applies to everything else.
White Plains generates a range of plumbing calls, and the situation behind each one is different. A building owner dealing with aging infrastructure has a different problem from a landlord handling a tenant repair, and both are different from a business that needs a fixture replaced during a window that does not affect operations. We handle all of it, and the full breakdown is on the service page.
Most calls start here. A fixture is not working, a pipe is making noise, water is appearing somewhere it should not be. We find the cause, explain what it is, and make the repair. The repair is pressure-tested before the job is called done. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, which matters in occupied units and finished spaces.
A water heater that has run its course, a sewer lateral that has deteriorated past the point of patching, a supply line that has failed more than once on the same run. Sometimes the right call is replacement rather than another repair on something that is going to fail again. We tell you which situation you are in and why, and we give you the price before you decide.
New fixture installation, rough-in work for a bathroom addition, supply and drain connections for a kitchen renovation. Planned jobs have a different rhythm from emergency calls, and we work through them with the same process: scope it, price it, schedule it. The next visit gets earned by doing this one right.
When a sewer lateral is backing up repeatedly or a camera inspection is needed before a property sale, we run a camera through the line and show you what is there. Root intrusion, joint separation, and pipe deterioration all look different on camera, and knowing which one you are dealing with determines what comes next.
No hot water is one of those calls that does not wait. We service and replace both tank and tankless units. When the unit is past repair, we walk you through the replacement options, install the new unit, and restore hot water. Tankless units are a common choice in older buildings where mechanical space is limited.
Where the line is damaged but the surrounding ground is finished or occupied, trenchless repair avoids the disruption of open excavation. We assess whether the line is a candidate for that method and explain the process before any work is scheduled.
Pressure that drops at one fixture points at a different cause than pressure that is low throughout the building. A failing pressure regulator, a partially closed shutoff valve, or a supply line that has narrowed from corrosion can all produce low pressure, but they call for different fixes. We diagnose the cause before recommending anything.
A toilet that rocks, leaks at the base, or runs continuously is worth addressing before the water damage or the water bill gets ahead of the repair cost. We reseat, repair, and replace toilets across all property types. For a building with multiple units, we can work through them efficiently.
Outdoor plumbing takes more wear than indoor fixtures, and a hose bib that was not properly shut off before winter can split and leak into the wall when the season turns. We repair and replace outdoor taps and hose bibs, and we handle the supply connections for irrigation systems. We keep your home dry and your water flowing.
White Plains is the primary coverage area, and we extend across the surrounding parts of Westchester County as well. Harrison, Scarsdale, Fairview, Hartsdale, and Rye Brook are all covered. The same response time, the same pricing process, and the same work applies across the area.
If you are not sure whether your address falls within our coverage, call and ask. We will give you a straight answer.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. No loose ends left behind.
Plenty of White Plains jobs start with a look at our plumbing page.
Call us and describe what you are seeing. A problem that returns quickly after a repair usually means the underlying cause was not fully addressed the first time, or that there is a second issue contributing to the same symptom. We will assess what is happening and work from there.
Permit requirements for plumbing work in White Plains depend on the scope of the job and whether it involves the building's main supply or drain lines. We can tell you on the call what is typically required for the work you are describing, and we confirm what applies at your specific address before anything is scheduled. You do not need to work that out on your own before calling.
We clear the work area and take away any materials we brought in. If we opened a wall or floor section, we leave the opening ready for patching but do not typically do the finish work ourselves unless that was part of the agreed scope. We protect floors and finishes while we work, so the area around the repair should be in the same condition we found it.
Yes. If a job was started and not finished, we can assess what has been done and continue from that point. We will tell you on the call what we need to see before we can give a price, since the scope depends on what condition the existing work is in and what remains to be done.
It depends on where the work is and how the water supply is affected. Some repairs can be isolated to one area without shutting down the whole building. Others require the main supply to be off for part of the job. We talk through the scope on the call so you can plan around it before we schedule.
Older multifamily and single-family buildings in this area tend to have galvanized steel or cast-iron supply lines that have been in service for decades. As galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside, pressure drops and the pipe becomes prone to pinhole leaks at joints and fittings. Recurring leaks on the same run, rust-colored water, or pressure that varies from room to room are all worth having assessed before the situation gets ahead of a repair.
Yes. When you call and describe what is happening, we can usually tell you whether the situation is urgent, whether it can wait for a scheduled appointment, and what to do in the meantime if waiting is safe. Do not guess. Call (475) 426-2879 and give us the details.
Yes, and it is often the most efficient way to handle a backlog of smaller repairs. When you call, give us a rundown of everything on the list and we will let you know whether it all fits in one visit or whether a follow-up is more realistic. Grouping work saves time for everyone.
Yes. We work around tenant schedules and building access arrangements regularly. When a repair needs to happen in an occupied unit or a common area, we confirm the access plan before the visit and work through the job in a way that keeps disruption to a minimum. Property managers and building owners can call directly to talk through what the building needs and how to schedule it.

Every home and property in White Plains has its own plumbing history, and the work that comes up most often reflects the age of the housing stock, the climate, and how the systems have been maintained over time. The table below covers the full range of what we handle, from a straightforward drain cleaning to a whole-home repipe, so you can find the service that fits your situation and call for a quote. Work is performed by licensed plumbers on every job. If you have a question that the table does not answer, the FAQs below cover the specifics.
| Type of Job | What the Job Covers | Recommended For | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement | tank water heater service, tankless unit installation, sediment flush and maintenance, no-hot-water diagnosis | Homes with no hot water or an aging unit | Tankless units are a practical choice in older White Plains homes where mechanical space is limited. We walk you through the options and price the job before scheduling. |
| Emergency Plumbing | burst pipe response, major active leak control, sewer backup service, no-hot-water urgent calls | Any situation where water is flowing where it should not be | We are open every day from 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM. If water is actively flowing, shut off the main supply if you can and call immediately. |
| Sump Pump & Basement Drainage | sump pump installation and replacement, failed pump service, basement drainage assessment, pre-season system check | Basements that have taken on water or homes with aging or failed sump pumps | Connecticut's spring thaw and nor'easter seasons put real pressure on basement drainage. A pump that fails during a storm can turn into a much larger problem in a matter of hours. |
| Frozen Pipe Repair | frozen pipe thawing, burst pipe repair after freeze, vulnerable pipe assessment, supply restoration | Homes with no water flow during or after a cold snap | White Plains winters regularly push temperatures below freezing. Pipes in unheated spaces, crawl spaces, and exterior walls are the most common points of failure. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | faucet repair and replacement, outdoor hose bib service, fixture installation for remodels, supply and drain connections | Dripping faucets, remodel projects, or fixture upgrades | We protect floors and finishes while we work, which matters when the job is in a finished bathroom or a recently renovated kitchen. |
| Cast-Iron Drain Stack Replacement | deteriorated stack removal, modern drain stack installation, multi-story drain system repair, fixture reconnection | Older multi-story homes with cracking, rusting, or leaking cast-iron drain stacks | Cast-iron drain stacks in White Plains's older housing stock can crack and corrode over decades. A failing stack affects every fixture tied to it, so replacement is a whole-system fix. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | sink, tub, and shower drains, floor drain clearing, main line cleaning, root intrusion removal | Slow or stopped drains at any fixture | Recurring clogs in older White Plains homes often point to buildup deeper in the line, not just at the fixture. We find the blockage and tell you what we found. |
| Lead Service Line Replacement | lead service line identification, full line replacement, connection to city main, interior lead pipe removal | Older White Plains homes where the original service line has not been replaced | Many homes built before the 1980s in this area still have lead service lines. Replacement is the only way to eliminate lead as a source of contamination at the tap. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | flapper and fill valve replacement, wax ring and seal repair, full toilet replacement, running or leaking toilet diagnosis | Running, leaking, or loose toilets in any bathroom | A running toilet can add a significant amount to a water bill over a single billing cycle. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | disposal repair, full unit replacement, new disposal installation, flange and seal repair | Disposals that hum, leak, or have stopped working | If a disposal is repairable, we repair it. If replacement makes more sense given the age and condition, we tell you that before any work starts. |
| Water Softener Installation | softener unit installation, supply line connection, bypass valve setup, existing softener replacement | Homes with hard water causing scale buildup on fixtures and in appliances | Hard water shortens the life of water heaters and leaves buildup on faucets and fixtures. We install the supply connections and integrate the softener into the existing plumbing. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | pressure regulator diagnosis and replacement, shutoff valve replacement, supply line restriction clearing, whole-home pressure assessment | Low pressure throughout the home or valves that will not close | Shutoff valves that have not been turned in years are a common issue in older Westchester County homes. A valve that will not close in an emergency is a real problem. |
| Sewer Line Replacement | cast-iron and clay pipe replacement, root intrusion remediation, collapsed or offset joint repair, line replacement to connection point | Sewer lines with confirmed damage, repeated backups, or significant root intrusion | Mature trees along White Plains streets and yards make root intrusion into sewer laterals a recurring issue. When camera footage shows significant damage, replacement is often the right call. |
| Leak Detection & Repair | supply line leak location, pipe repair and replacement, pressure testing after repair, wall and hidden leak diagnosis | Visible or suspected leaks anywhere in the home | The repair is pressure-tested before the job is called done. If the source is behind a wall, we locate it before opening anything. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | sewer line cleaning, camera inspection, main line clog clearing, line condition assessment | Backups affecting multiple fixtures or recurring slow drains throughout the home | A camera inspection is the most accurate way to understand what is happening in the line before recommending repair or replacement. |
| Whole-Home Repiping | galvanized pipe replacement, modern material installation, full supply system repipe, pressure and flow restoration | Older homes with rust-colored water, recurring leaks, or dropping pressure room to room | Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside out. When pinhole leaks keep coming back at multiple points, repiping is often more cost-effective than continued patching. |
