Water and Sewer Disconnection in New York City
Before a building comes down, its water and sewer connections have to be cut and capped at the city main, and DEP has to sign off that it was done properly. No demolition closes without it.

When you need it
Full or partial demolition. A renovation that removes the existing service. A structure coming off a lot before new construction. If the building is going, the connection goes first.
How it works
We file with DEP, pull the DOT permit to open the street, excavate to the tap or house connection, cut and cap it, and get the inspection signed off.
What actually holds it up
Almost always the filing, not the digging. Disconnection sits on the critical path of a demolition schedule, and a rejected filing costs weeks. We run the DEP application and the DOT permit together so they don’t queue behind each other.
