80-Year-Old Clawfoot Tub Faucet Repaired in Inwood, NY – Pipe Doctor Finds the Impossible

They don’t make ’em like they used to—but at Pipe Doctor Home Services, we still know how to fix them.

In a recent call to a charming older home in Inwood, NY, a homeowner was dealing with an 80- year-old clawfoot tub faucet that was leaking and practically unusable. Most plumbers would take one look and say: “You need to rip it out and replace the whole thing.” Not us.

Vintage Fixtures? We Fix ‘Em.

This wasn’t just any faucet—it was an original, heavy-duty, cast brass fixture from the 1940s. Beautiful, timeless… and completely out of production.

But guess what?

  • We found the parts.
  • We did the repair.
  • And the homeowner kept their vintage charm without gutting the bathroom.

While others say “can’t be done,” Pipe Doctor Home Services says “let’s get it done.” No job is too big or too small—especially when history (and hot water) are on the line.

While we live several states away, we watch the videos that Pipe Doctor releases on Youtube. Mikey is extremely responsive on their social media platforms, even to people that are not their direct customers. If Pipe Doctor ever branches out to my area, we will absolutely use them for all our HVAC and plumbing needs.

J. Miller

Mike and his crew are fantastic. Aside from exceptional work which is evident if you watch any of the YouTube clips, Mike’s knowledge is out of this world. Not only does he know his stuff, he also spent the time to make sure I had a solid background of the inner workings of the system. That’s very helpful to a homeowner!
