We provide educational courses and resources for licensed plumbers, such as license renewal and operator qualification, as well as hold seminars for the general public. Our Quarterly Newsletter provides important updates and information for the NYC plumbing and real estate industries.

The horrific condo collapse in Surfside, Florida, leading to 98 deaths, should make us pause and reflect on the safety of our buildings and infrastructure.
This tragedy sparked responses by policymakers urging more regulation by way of stricter building codes and stronger oversight including more frequent inspections.
Buildings and infrastructure have failed many times over the last 15 years around the country.
But let's hope that Surfside was an anomaly and not the beginning of a disturbing and regular trend.
