City Plumber

Pipes are bursting, water is flooding the streets, and New York's underground plumbing network is falling apart at the seams. City Plumber puts you in the boots of the one person willing to crawl under the city and fix it all. Armed with a toolbox and a schedule full of desperate clients, you work your way through increasingly tangled pipe systems across the city's neighborhoods.

The real satisfaction comes from diagnosing a chaotic mess of valves and connectors, then methodically restoring proper water flow before the clock runs out. Misread a pipe junction and the whole system backs up — sometimes spectacularly.

More jobs mean better pay, and better pay means upgrading your gear to handle the nastier jobs waiting in older, more decrepit parts of the city. The work gets dirtier, the pipes get older, and the pressure — both literal and figurative — keeps climbing.
