Irrigation Systems

NYC-Compliant Irrigation

Stanley Lewis Plumbing and Heating installs and services irrigation systems for lawns, gardens, and rooftop and green-roof planters across Brooklyn, and in NYC, an irrigation system is a plumbing and water-safety system, not just landscaping equipment, so our Licensed Master Plumbers handle it accordingly. Above all, we treat every irrigation job as a compliance job first.

Irrigation Systems and NYC Backflow Compliance

Backflow prevention is the top NYC compliance issue for irrigation systems, because irrigation piping sits exposed to soil, fertilizer, pesticides, and standing water, and DEP requires an approved backflow preventer wherever a system connects to potable water.

Our Licensed Master Plumbers install the required device, and we also handle the certified annual testing that keeps Brooklyn homes and buildings in compliance.

In short, backflow prevention is the compliance backbone of any Brooklyn irrigation system.
