Albany · Same-Day Service · Booking Now
Licensed Albany plumbers since 2006 — same-day service Mon-Fri for repipes, water heaters, lead service-line work, and gas lines in Center Square, Pine Hills, and across the city.
Local plumbing, done right
Albany has one of the oldest housing stocks in the country — roughly 43 to 46 percent of homes here predate 1940, and about half were built before 1950. In neighborhoods like Center Square, Mansion, Pine Hills, and Arbor Hill, that means corroding galvanized supply lines, aging shutoffs, and original fixtures are everyday plumbing, not the exception. When a pre-war rowhouse drops to a trickle of rusty water at every tap, the fix is almost always a repipe to copper or PEX, not another patch.
The bigger Albany water story is lead. The City estimates about 40 percent of homes have a privately owned lead service line, and there’s an active program to remove every lead service line by 2034 — a $12.9 million project replacing roughly 2,500 lines across all 15 wards on streets with pre-1975 mains, with a homeowner grant and reimbursement program through the Water Department. We replace lead and galvanized service lines, coordinate with the City’s program where it applies, and install NSF/ANSI-53 lead-certified point-of-use filtration for the elevated lead the City’s own testing has flagged.
Because Albany is a renter-majority capital — roughly 38 percent owner-occupied and 62 percent renter, full of two- and three-family rowhouses — we work for both homeowners and landlords, on everything from a single water heater swap to a whole-building repipe.

Center Square rowhouse: replaced corroded original galvanized supply lines with a whole-home PEX repipe after the owner reported rusty water and weak pressure at every fixture. Ran new lines through the fewest possible wall and ceiling openings to protect the pre-war plaster, then pressure-tested the full system.
Pine Hills single-family on a pre-1975-main street: replaced a privately owned lead service line from the meter into the home with new copper, coordinated the City of Albany plumbing permit through Buildings & Regulatory Compliance, and added an NSF/ANSI-53 lead-certified point-of-use filter at the kitchen tap.
South End two-family: swapped a failed, undersized water heater for a high-efficiency gas unit on National Grid service, and installed a backwater valve to protect the basement from combined-sewer surcharge during heavy rain.
Helderberg neighborhood cape: the home's main shutoff valve had seized and was weeping, so the owner couldn't isolate the house to fix a running toilet. We coordinated a curb-stop shutoff with the City of Albany water department, cut out the corroded main gate valve and installed a full-port ball valve, and — after the gauge read street pressure over 90 psi — added a pressure-reducing valve to protect the home's fixtures and supply lines.

Good to know
If your home predates 1940 — like most of Center Square, Mansion, Arbor Hill, and Pine Hills — and sits on a street with a pre-1975 water main, there’s a real chance the privately owned service line is lead; the City estimates about 40 percent of Albany homes are. We inspect the line at the meter and entry point, tell you straight what it is, and replace lead or galvanized lines with copper — coordinating with the City’s lead-line replacement program and homeowner grant where it applies.
No. Albany’s city water from the Alcove Reservoir is soft — about 3.1 grains per gallon — so there’s no hardness problem to soften. The water issue worth treating in the city is lead from old service lines and home plumbing, which we address with an NSF/ANSI-53 lead-certified point-of-use filter, not a softener.
Yes — plumbing permits in the City of Albany are filed through Buildings & Regulatory Compliance and, by code, can only be pulled by a licensed Class A plumber. Homeowners can’t self-permit plumbing work here. We handle the permit and the inspection as part of the job.
Most of the frozen-pipe calls we get around Albany are lines running through unheated crawl spaces, exterior walls, or against the foundation in older homes that got added onto over the years. The basics go a long way: keep the heat above 55, insulate any exposed pipe in the basement or crawl space, disconnect and drain the outdoor hose bibs before the first hard freeze, and open the cabinet under a sink on an exterior wall on the coldest nights. If you have a pipe that freezes every winter in the same spot, that’s usually a routing or insulation problem we can fix for good instead of something you should have to keep babysitting.
A lot of Albany homes built before the 1960s still have their original cast-iron drain and vent stacks, and cast iron doesn’t last forever — it rusts from the inside out, and the low horizontal runs are usually the first to go. We won’t push a full replacement if the pipe still has good wall thickness left; we’ll inspect or scope it and tell you honestly whether you’re looking at a spot repair or a stack that’s near the end. When it does need to come out, we replace it with PVC and keep the wall and ceiling openings to a minimum to protect the older plaster.
