Water main replacement in NYC – When a property in NYC needs a water main replacement due to a NYC DEP “Three Day Notice” to repair their water main service line there are many factors to consider. Not only must the water main replacement be performed in a timely manner, but the proper size water main service line must be installed. This is something that might be taken for granted, but should not be as it is very important.
In this case the existing water main service that was serving the building was undersized, causing a pump and pressure tank to be in use. Joseph L. Balkan Inc. carefully calculated the plumbing fixtures and determined that a water main replacement two sizes larger was required, with a larger tap connection into the City main. By installing a properly sized water main Balkan created a situation where the pump and tank could be eliminated, or at the least barely necessary.
Other factors to consider are safely setting up a job site for a water main replacement, careful traffic control, pedestrian safety, and roadway plates placed to leave all excavations in a safe and roadworthy manner. In addition  the site must be maintained broom-clean during and after each work day. Hiring a water main contractor that pays attention to detail and keeps a safe work site and safely runs a fleet of vehicles benefits everyone. That is why Balkan Sewer and Water Main Service has been a trusted name for over 50 years whenever property owners in NYC reqiure a water main replacement. Whether in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, or the Bronx, Balkan provides  same-day and next-day sewer and water main replacement service by the most highly skilled field forces in the sewer and water main industry.
