Editorial Review
Our Take on A&E NYC Plumbing
A 5 out of 5 average across 146 Google reviews, read in late September 2026, is a strong record for a Manhattan plumber, and the seven-day hours suggest a team that actually answers on weekends. The service list leans broad, from dishwasher hookups to full repipes, so the useful question is which of those the crew does most often. Confirm the hours, since the website and the Google profile do not match.

About A&E NYC Plumbing
Plumbing in Manhattan is a different job from plumbing almost anywhere else. Buildings stack fifteen or fifty units on a footprint the size of a suburban lot, risers are shared, cast iron waste stacks laid down in the 1920s are still carrying the load, and the person who fixes your leak also has to satisfy a building super, a managing agent and sometimes a co-op board before a wrench turns. A E NYC Plumbing works from an address on Fulton Street in the Financial District, which puts it within a short drive of the Seaport, Tribeca, the Lower East Side and the bridges out to Brooklyn and Queens. The company says it serves Manhattan first and takes work in all boroughs.
The range of work advertised is wide. Drain and sewer line repair, leak detection, faucet and sink replacement, toilets, showers and tubs, garbage disposals, dishwashers, water heaters, water filtration and purification systems, water line repair and installation, water pressure problems, and gas line installation and repair. Piping and repiping get their own listing, as does kitchen and bath work, which suggests the team handles renovation rough-in as well as service calls. That mix matters in older housing stock, where a simple complaint about weak pressure at one fixture often turns out to be galvanised supply lines choking themselves closed and the honest answer is a partial repipe rather than another aerator swap.
Who this suits: owners and residents of Manhattan apartments, brownstones and small commercial spaces who want a single contractor for both the burst supply line at nine at night and the bathroom gut they have been putting off. The published hours on the Google profile run 7 AM to 8 PM every day of the week, including Sunday, so weekend and early-morning coverage looks genuine rather than nominal. The company's own site lists 9 AM to 9 PM daily, so the two do not agree and it is worth confirming when you call, particularly if you need someone before eight in the morning. Neither listing states a true 24-hour emergency service, so if you want middle-of-the-night coverage written into an agreement, ask directly.
On reputation, the Google Business Profile showed a 5 out of 5 rating from 146 reviews when it was read on September 26, 2026. A perfect average across that many reviews is rare in plumbing and it is a reasonable signal, though it is worth reading a handful of the recent ones yourself to see what kind of jobs they describe. Reviews built entirely on faucet swaps tell you less about how a firm handles a sewer line excavation or a gas line pressure test.
Gas work deserves a specific conversation. In New York City, gas piping is tightly regulated, work generally requires a licensed master plumber and a Department of Buildings permit, and inspections and utility involvement follow. Before any gas line installation or repair, ask who the licensed master plumber of record is, who files with the DOB, and how long the utility sign-off typically takes. Ask the same kind of question about water line and sewer work that reaches the street, since that usually involves a permit and sometimes a street opening.
Other things to raise on the phone. How the call-out is charged, whether there is a diagnostic fee and whether it is credited against the repair. Whether pricing is flat rate per job or hourly, and what happens to the hourly rate after normal hours. Whether the firm carries the certificate of insurance your building will demand before letting anyone onto a freight elevator, because most Manhattan managing agents will not budge on that. Who supplies fixtures on a bathroom job, and what warranty covers labour separately from the manufacturer's coverage on the part.
Compared with the bigger branded outfits that blanket the city with vans and dispatchers, a shop like A E NYC Plumbing is likely to feel more direct, with less handoff between the person who books and the person who arrives. The trade-off is that a smaller team can be stretched thin on a cold snap when frozen and split pipes are everywhere. Get a realistic arrival window rather than a promise, and have your building's access rules ready when you call.

A&E NYC Plumbing FAQs
What areas does A&E NYC Plumbing cover?
Manhattan is the primary service area, and the company says it takes work in all five boroughs. The business address is 40 Fulton St in the Financial District, which keeps Lower Manhattan, the Seaport and Tribeca close by. For a job in Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island, confirm coverage and travel expectations when you book.
Is it open on weekends?
Yes, according to the hours published on its Google Business Profile, which list 7 AM to 8 PM every day including Saturday and Sunday. The company's own website shows 9 AM to 9 PM daily instead, so the two sources disagree. Call to confirm before relying on an early morning or late evening slot.
How is A E NYC Plumbing rated?
Its Google Business Profile showed 5 out of 5 from 146 reviews when checked on September 26, 2026. That is a strong average for the volume. Reading a few recent reviews is still worth the time, since it tells you what kinds of jobs the feedback actually covers.
Does the company do gas line work?
Gas line installation and repair is listed among its services. In New York City this work is regulated, generally requires a licensed master plumber and a Department of Buildings filing, and involves inspection before the gas is turned back on. Ask who the master plumber of record is and who handles the permit and utility sign-off.
Can they repipe an old apartment or brownstone?
Piping and repiping appear on the service list, which is relevant in older Manhattan buildings where galvanised supply lines corrode from the inside and pressure drops fixture by fixture. Scope varies a lot between a single bathroom branch and a whole-line replacement, so ask for a written scope, an access plan and how walls will be opened and made good.
What should I ask before booking a plumber in Manhattan?
Ask about the call-out or diagnostic fee and whether it is credited toward the repair, whether pricing is flat rate or hourly, and what changes outside standard hours. Request a certificate of insurance, since most co-op and condo managing agents require one before a contractor can use the service elevator. Confirm who supplies fixtures and what labour warranty applies separately from the part's own coverage.
How do I get in touch?
The phone number listed is (646) 392-7164 and the website is topplumbernyc.com, which carries a contact form. For an active leak, phoning is the sensible route. Shut the local stop valve if you can reach one, and let your building staff know before water reaches the unit below.
Is A&E NYC Plumbing licensed and insured?
We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.
What areas does A&E NYC Plumbing serve?
New York, Newark, East Orange, Bloomfield, Jersey City, Manhattan, Brooklyn, New York City, North Bergen, Belleville, Hoboken, Union City, New York, Weehawken Township, Kearny, Brooklyn, Irvington, Brooklyn Heights. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.
Does A&E NYC Plumbing offer emergency service?
Yes, the company lists emergency availability. Response time depends on demand, and after a storm every company in the market is stretched.
What warranty do they offer?
Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.
How was this profile built?
Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.
Can a business pay to improve its profile?
A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
