Why KBD
Local Westchester plumbing, not a national chain
KBD Plumbing & Heating is based in Dobbs Ferry and handles Westchester plumbing and heating as a local business — not a franchise or a lead-generation network.
Here when it goes wrong
Emergency calls are taken around the clock — nights, weekends and holidays — by licensed plumbers.
The price comes first
You get the price before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Licensed, insured, documented
A certificate of insurance whenever a building or board needs one — standard for co-op and condo work.
Local to the Rivertowns
Older homes are the norm here — pre-war plumbing, steam heat and wet basements along the river.

Questions
Westchester plumbing questions, answered
Still not sure? Phone us — asking costs nothing.
Is there a 24-hour emergency plumber in Dobbs Ferry?
Yes. KBD is based in Dobbs Ferry and the phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, holidays included. Burst pipes, flooding, sewage backing up, gas problems and no heat are handled at any hour, across all ten towns we cover. For anything urgent, call (914) 233-3000 rather than emailing.
What should I do before you get here?
For a leak or burst pipe, shut off the main water valve — usually in the basement near where the line enters the house — and open a low faucet to drain the system. If you smell gas, don't touch any switches: get everyone outside first, then call us and the utility from outside the house.
How much will it cost?
We diagnose the problem and give you the price before any work starts, so you know where you stand before we pick up a tool.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Our plumbers are licensed and fully insured, and we provide a certificate of insurance whenever a building, board or property manager asks for one.
Con Edison shut my gas off. Can you get it back on?
This is common in older buildings. We inspect the gas piping, make the repairs needed to bring it up to code, and handle the documentation the utility needs before it restores service. Visit Con Edison
