Certain underground failures cannot wait for standard scheduling. Active water main breaks, sewer backups, and time-critical DEP notices require rapid stabilization, controlled excavation, and immediate corrective work to prevent flooding, contamination, and structural damage.
Lady Liberty Contracting Corp provides 24/7 emergency service across all NYC boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island, dispatching trained water and sewer crews equipped for immediate underground response.
Our priority is containment, stabilization, and fast restoration of critical water or sewer service.
Active surface flooding or underground rupture.
Wastewater rising into basement or fixtures.
No water entering the building due to service-line failure.
3-Day or 10-Day Notices requiring immediate action.
Ground collapse caused by underground pipe failure.
Roots obstructing primary sewer flow.
Broken or collapsed house trap causing immediate risk.
Extremely restricted flow requiring emergency access.
Crew mobilized as soon as the call is received.
Stop water loss, contain wastewater, secure area.
Remove standing water or sewage when necessary.
Expose the failure point with minimal disruption.
Replace failed sections of water or sewer line.
DEP + DOT approvals handled even during emergencies.
Verify restored flow and pressure.
Safe restoration after emergency repair.
Calls are answered by personnel trained in water and sewer infrastructure, not a generic call center. Basic diagnostics are collected immediately: symptoms, flow conditions, location, active flooding, and DEP notices. This determines crew size, equipment, and whether the situation is structural or pressure-critical.
A qualified crew is deployed to the property with excavation tools, pumps, and safety equipment. Upon arrival, the area is secured using cones, barricades, and lights to protect pedestrians and property.
Active water loss is reduced or stopped. Sewer backups are pumped or diverted to prevent contamination. Buildings and sidewalks are assessed for structural risk.
Crews determine whether the issue is a pipe rupture, joint failure, trap collapse, blockage, or structural flaw. This step identifies whether full repair or immediate replacement is necessary.
Depending on severity, crews: perform sectional repair, replace defective components, or initiate full water/sewer replacement for catastrophic failure. Materials used follow NYC code even under emergency timelines.
Systems are tested for restored flow and pressure. Sewer lines are checked for proper discharge and backup elimination. Surface areas (asphalt, sidewalk, soil) are restored to safe and stable condition.
Stops active water loss and prevents further damage
Eliminates dangerous wastewater exposure
Prevents street collapse and soil erosion
Avoids enforcement or shutoff from DEP
Minimizes structural risk to property foundations
Rapid containment limits repair cost escalation
NYC-licensed, code-compliant corrective action
Detailed documentation provided after completion
Yes. Fully staffed emergency response is available 24/7.
Stabilization can begin immediately. Permits follow ASAP.
Emergency logistics carry additional costs due to timing and rapid mobilization.
Response time depends on borough and conditions. Urgent cases are prioritized.
Only when the failure is catastrophic. Repairs are performed when structurally viable.
Stop active water loss, backups, and ground instability before damage escalates. Licensed crews respond immediately across all NYC boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
