A toilet leaking at the floor can rot subfloor in a weekend. Running toilets waste water every hour. Both are standard licensed-plumber work.
Pre-war galvanized, cast-iron stacks, and tight mechanical rooms in brownstones and high-rises.
Freeze risk on uninsulated lines; steam-to-hydronic conversions are common. Common dispatch ZIPs in New York include 10001, 10002, 10016, 10025. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
