I cannot recommend NYC Water Main Services enough. We received a DEP 3-day notice on a Friday and had no idea what to do. They reviewed the notice same day, explained exactly what drawings and permits were needed, and had the filing coordinated before the deadline. Professional, clear, and no surprises.

We needed water main replacement drawings for a DEP filing and had already wasted two weeks with another firm. NYC Water Main Services took over the paperwork, prepared the drawings, and got DEP approval moving within days. They knew exactly what the agency needed and delivered it.

Our contractor had the crew ready but could not get the DOT street opening permit sorted. NYC Water Main Services handled the entire filing, coordinated the DOT requirements, and had the permit issued on time. Saved the project schedule. Would use them again without hesitation.

As a general contractor I deal with permit coordination constantly. NYC Water Main Services is the most reliable firm I have used for water main filings in the city. They know DEP and DOT requirements, prepare clean drawings, and follow up until the approval is issued. Highly recommended.

We needed a water and sewer disconnect for a demolition project and the paperwork was more involved than expected. NYC Water Main Services handled the plug permits, DEP inspections, and DOB documentation from start to finish. Everything was organized, on time, and properly documented for our records.
