At Aladdin Plumbing, we have over forty years of experience in installing and maintaining residential and commercial heating and plumbing systems in Brooklyn and the rest of the greater NYC metro area. One of our many specialties is providing plumbing and heating expertise for historic renovation and preservation jobs. In fact, we were chosen as the This Old House plumber for “The New York City Project” that took place in Brooklyn, NY.
Over the years, we have seen nearly every potential situation and pitfall that can crop up when it is time to make a change and update or repair a building’s plumbing or heating system. Older buildings often contain systems that have pipes and fixtures made of several types of materials, so they present unique challenges. It is rare that renovations are as simple and straightforward as new plumbing installations. A simple miscalculation or mistake during a renovation can cause damage to the rest of the plumbing system. The wrong move can even damage the surrounding structures such as the flooring, ceiling, furnishings and even threaten the stability of the entire building. This is why even the most capable DIY property owners rely on our renovation experts to update their heating and plumbing systems.
One of the best examples of the challenges that owners face when renovating the heating or plumbing in a historic structure is when the This Old House Plumber relied on Aladdin Plumbing to design and install the new heating and plumbing systems for their Brooklyn project on the popular PBS show. Dubbed “The New York City Project,” master plumbers from Aladdin Plumbing used their expertise to update the heating and plumbing systems of a Victorian-era Renaissance Revival brownstone. Built in 1904 and located in the iconic Prospect Heights neighborhood, the project posed unique challenges. This historic brownstone saw a complete revitalization by the end of the project, with modern upgrades that increased the comfort and convenience of the home, while preserving the essence of its original character and architectural design elements.
The next time that you have a tricky heating or plumbing renovation why take the risk of making a simple error that could result in the potential for destructive leaks and more expensive repairs later? Contact This Old House plumber Aladdin Plumbing and let our experts help you to design the perfect upgrade to your heating or plumbing system that will safely increase the beauty, comfort and usefulness of your space while preserving its unique character.
