Mikey Pipes It
Big Mike fixes leaks, clogs, gas lines and dead water heaters across Long Island.
White is PVC.
It carries the drains from your sinks, tubs and toilets. The purple ring is primer. It shows a joint was glued right.
Black is gas pipe.
The yellow handle is your shut-off. Across the pipe is off. In line with it is on.
And Mike pipes it.
One call gets Mike himself, from the first photo you text to the last joint he checks.
Watch Big Mike work
A pipe lets go. Mike pulls up, shuts the water, pipes it right and gets the heat back on.

Big guy. Small spaces.
Mike is huge. Crawl spaces, closets, the cabinet under your sink: he still fits, and the mess leaves with him.
The owner, on every job
No dispatcher and no whoever's free. The guy who picks up the phone is the guy under your sink, with 20+ years on the tools.
