About this site
This website is published by PlumbingBO, 153 7th Ave, New York, NY 10011. Using it means accepting the terms below. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
The information here is general
The pages on this site describe how plumbing systems in Manhattan buildings commonly behave and what the usual remedies are. That is general information, written to help you understand a situation and ask better questions. It is not advice about your particular building, and it cannot be, because nobody has looked at yours.
Nothing here should be relied on as a substitute for having the actual problem inspected. Where a page suggests something you might check yourself, it is offered on the basis that you stop if it is not safe or not straightforward.
No professional relationship
Reading this site, calling us or emailing us does not by itself create a contract for work. Any work we carry out is on terms agreed with you at the time, including the price, before that work begins.
Accuracy
We try to keep these pages accurate and current. Building codes, city requirements and utility procedures change, and specific requirements vary from building to building. We make no guarantee that everything here is complete or up to date at the moment you read it.
Links to other sites
Where we link to an outside site, we do so because we think it is useful. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.
Content on this site
The text, images and layout of this site belong to PlumbingBO. You are welcome to read it, print it and share a link to it. Please do not republish substantial parts of it as your own.
Limits
The site is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the general information published here. Nothing in these terms limits liability where the law does not permit it to be limited.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the State of New York.
