NYC’s Backflow Preventer & Plumbing Specialists

Backflow Prevention of New York is a licensed NYC plumbing company serving all five boroughs. We built our name on backflow preventer testing and compliance. Then, property managers who trusted us with that work asked us to handle the rest of their building systems too. Today we cover gas, boilers, drains, and emergencies, with the same approach that earned the backflow work: we only recommend what you need, we track your deadlines, and we show up on time.

Gas and LL152 Inspections

We inspect exposed gas piping, correct deficiencies, and file the certification with the DOB. One team performs the inspection and the repairs, so you’re not chasing two contractors before a deadline.

We install, maintain, and repair residential and smaller gas boilers under 1.5M BTUs, including the steam systems that cause the banging complaints tenants call about.

Drain cleaning with a dedicated, fully equipped team, leak location and repair, pump work, commercial and residential alteration work, and water meter replacement with NYC permitting and reimbursement filed for you.

Not sure if your building requires a backflow preventer? We’ll visit the property, assess what the DEP requires, and tell you exactly where you stand, at no charge.

Why Property Managers Choose BPNY

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reduced pressure backflow preventer (RPZ)?

RPZ devices are the most protective type of backflow preventer and are typically used for higher-hazard properties like medical facilities and buildings with fire suppression systems. See our Backflow Services page for the full breakdown of device types and requirements.

Can you manage both testing and repairs if my backflow preventer fails?

Yes. Testing, DEP filing, and repairs are all handled in-house, so a failed test doesn’t mean a second call to a second company. We also install backflow preventers.

What kind of work do we do?

We handle backflow prevention, gas & LL152 inspections, boilers, plumbing, and 24/7 emergency service. See all our services above.

What's included in our Boiler Maintenance package?

Our boiler maintenance agreements keep your system running through the coldest months — routine servicing, priority repairs, and one less emergency to chase down. See our Boiler Repair & Maintenance page for the full details.

When you book with BPNY ask for this team- you can thank me later!!! GREAT WORK SHOULD ALWAYS BE ACKNOWLEDGED!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

This company is incredible. I called, I wasn’t getting heat from my radiator. Within literally 15 minutes a young man named Franky came and, I don’t know what he did but the heat is back on. I will definitely spread the word. These guys are magicians. Thank you BPNY. I am grateful and will make you the go-to guys.

John and Jon were an all-star team! They came to my apartment to fix a leak. They arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the problem, and completed the repair efficiently. They were friendly, thorough, and professional throughout. They cleaned up afterward and moved the furniture back into place. I would happily hire them for any job in my apartment.

BPNY is amazing! The gas connected to my stove was off and I could not find anyone to turn it back on. BPNY saved the day! They sent two very nice and knowledgeable gas plumbers to do an inspection on my stove. I am just waiting for the final inspection and then I will have a fully functional stove. I highly recommend them for any problem you might have!

These people are the best in the industry. I’ve used them numerous times. Paul and his plumbing team are efficient professionals, and they fix the problems with the utmost care and attention. They have repaired the bathroom, plumbing successfully, a corroded waste pipe and numerous other problems for snaking, parts replacement, fixture replacement and correction of all plumbing problems. I highly recommend Jon and Jonathon. These men are top-tier plumbers! Plus, they are so professional and super nice.Look no further, they are very fast to fix things with the kindest personalities and BEST customer service that you can imagine! Prices are extremely fair. This is a great company!
