GSB Plumbing & Heating Corp

"Highly recommend GSB! George is an honest and honorable man. He’s very knowledgeable and I can’t thank him enough for being patient with me. His team installed an electric water heater for my multi-family house at a really reasonable price. I would definitely use them again in the future."

"UPDATE, Halloween, 2021 I asked Master Plumber George to troubleshoot a 30 year old steam boiler in an 120 year old house in Riverdale. There was too much water in the boiler and the water hammering was so loud my wife and I were frightened. George proposed a solution that did not require parts and minimal labor. I am enjoying a warm house now. Call George! While the fix rolled out, George talked about his Geothermal and heat pump w/ solar projects he recently worked on, and suggested I look at The Lost Art of Steam Heating by Dan Holohan (1992, 2017). ============== Living in a 1900's era home in N. Riverdale. Smelled gas and reported to ConEd. ConEd red-tagged natural gas system, leaving us without boiler, water heater, or cooking gas. As it turned out, thank goodness ConEd did that. My wife did some research with Department of Buildings permits & successful inspections and found job descriptions and prices for several of George S. Bateman's jobs of similar scope. We also reviewed George's Master Plumber Gas Operator certs and his up-to-date licenses.. Called George who came out the next day to look at the vintage gas system. We received a complete estimate in two days. We put 50% down and he was here with his crew the day after next. Other than the competence and honesty, the key advantage of George's firm is that he has an Expeditor who knows how to apply for and fulfill the many NYC and ConEd permit, registration, and environmental regulations. Believe me, you don't want to do this by yourself without help. The fines can be punitive and cumulative. The job is completed now and we are sleeping well with hot showers again and the comfort of knowing we have had fully-licensed and code compliant work done and fully inspected on this safety-critical system. Did I say that George was able to find another very dangerous (between floors) hidden gas leak with his pressure testing gear? His crew spent an additional day to fix it. After George S Bateman and three complete inspections by him, DoB, and ConEd we have not been happier with a NY contractor. On his own initiative, he even worked with the inspectors to move up the inspections so we could have our heating back on-line sooner. George knows what he is talking about. Punctual, authoritative and communicative. My wife adds that his co-ordination was extremely effective with DoB, ConEd, and DEP. ================ UPDATE March 2024 We had a problem with the water auto-feeder which was not keeping the replacement water for the boiler at the right level. I’ve been in and out of the hospital recently and could not handle the valves. George immediately send one of his most experienced plumbers, Willy, and he fixed it within minutes with his plumber’s arm, explaining as he went so we understood what and why he was doing. I found out that master plumber George S. Bateman had to move around his appointment book to accommodate us despite that we were the smallest job scheduled. George is a treasure to us, his family and the entire New York community."

"I wish I could give 100 stars... George and his staff amazing, professional, knowledgeable, reliable and provided quality work. George walked us through every step keeping us informed and explaining everything step by step .. Even followed up with everything. Having our gas turned off was such an overwhelmingly hard situation and George helped us from day one helping to alleviate a lot of stress and anxiety. They got the job done in a timely manner with no problem... I would highly recommend this company you will not be disappointed."

"My mother resides in a building where her gas was unexpectedly turned off due to a gas leak, leaving her quite concerned and inconvenienced. George, was dispatched to help resolve the issue. I must say, George’s service and demeanor throughout this ordeal have been nothing short of exceptional, and I am more than pleased to share my glowing review. From the moment George arrived, his professionalism was evident. He took the time to thoroughly explain the steps involved in getting the gas turned back on. His communication skills were top-notch, and he kept us informed. Whether it was a weekday or a weekend, he remained responsive, promptly addressing any questions that arose. What truly impressed us was George’s attentiveness to the situation. It was evident that he genuinely cared about resolving the gas issue for my elder mother. His dedication and commitment to his work are truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend George and his company to anyone in need of reliable and efficient services. His professionalism, communication, attentiveness, and prompt response are qualities that set him apart and make him an invaluable asset in his field. We are grateful for his assistance. Thank you George!"

"Just call him. It’s such a relief knowing we’ve found a reliable, responsive and knowledgeable plumber. We had no heat and a lot of work to be done. George and his team took care of it quickly. Great communication from start to finish and the entire team was respectful and on time."
