Company History

In 1952 Joseph L. Balkan was trying to decide whether to leave "a secure, lifetime job" at the Brooklyn Navy Yard or to pursue a profession in plumbing. Plumbing was a trade that he enjoyed and saw value in performing. While he mulled over this decision he quit smoking. This afforded him enough savings to get the endeavor rolling with a bankroll of $900.00 and three employees.

Founded on the simple principals of doing quality installations, and keeping his word, the business survived through good and bad times alike. Through our founders original principals came our motto "Quality, Service".....and after around 50 years "Experience".

Joseph L. Balkan, Inc. is still a family run business with Joe's sons Paul and David carrying on the family tradition of high quality work, done at the most reasonable of costs. Through this family and company wide dedication Joseph L. Balkan, Inc. has grown from a small plumbing shop to be the largest sewer and water service contractor (as per NYC Department of Transportation records) in the five boroughs performing over 1,500 installations a year. The company has remained true to its original principals, and is large enough to handle all the potential sub-surface plumbing needs of its clients and customers.
