List of licensed plumbers List of licensed NYC area plumbers Scraped from state licensing site. Reports/quotes from visits are at the bottom below table. Script I generally just say: "Hi, I'm calling on behalf of a community center in Ridgewood Queens. When it rains heavily, our toilets and sometimes sinks back up and flood our space. I'm calling to see if you might be able to help us with this." From there it's all up in the air - some places will dispatch someone for a quote, some places might want documentation, some places like Kew Forest want to bill for an estimate visit. Just try and get as much information out of each call as is possible.

Valve + new drainage pipe reservoir $8-10k. Would be installed in portion of drain pipe in stairwell. Check valve alone would sense pressure rise from municipal side and lock, preventing backflow. However, this means that water can't drain from building, so no showers or toilet flushes etc while valve is locked. There exist alarm systems such that signals can be sent to residents to alert them that valve is locked. Rainwater collected on the roof would continue to accumulate, and wouldn't have anywhere to drain while valve is locked. This could be considered a positive move from current status: total floodwater amount would theoretically be less, given that it would be only roof water vs roof + backflow from sewage/wastewater city lines. Also the flood water would be more sanitary. So even with a $1000 valve, we would still likely flood. To solve issue entirely, plumber suggests running a parallel 5" drainage pipe parallel but higher than existing drain pipe - basically building a reservoir tank into the drainage line. I'm curious about only installing check valve, and modifying basement floor drains to accept larger flow, directed to 50g barrels in basement, with pump to empty them post-flood, either back into drainage lines (sump) or slowly into floor drains (cheap little peristaltic pump).
