Emergency Plumber in Dobbs Ferry: what to know

Steep driveways and hillside lots in Dobbs Ferry mean long sewer laterals and some challenging excavation. Older homes still have galvanized supply lines that cause low pressure upstairs.

The local housing stock

Dobbs Ferry's river-town housing is a mix of 19th-century village homes, 1920s-1960s single-families on hillside streets, and garden apartments. Older steam systems, oil-to-gas candidates and long, steep drain lines are common.

Older single-family homes with steam or gravity heat

Homes of this age in Dobbs Ferry usually still have some original galvanized supply pipe and cast iron drains. Galvanized pipe closes up with rust from the inside, which causes low pressure upstairs and brown water. Cast iron eventually cracks along the bottom of horizontal runs. We replace these sections selectively or all at once, depending on condition and budget.

Steep, hillside lots

Steep hillside properties in Dobbs Ferry often have long, deep sewer laterals and retaining walls over the line. Root intrusion and offset joints are common, and a camera inspection before digging saves a lot of money.
