Colonie · Same-Day Service · Booking Now
One local team for the whole house across Colonie, Latham and Loudonville — plumbing, heating, cooling and drains. Empire State Plumbing is family-run and licensed in the City of Albany since 2006, with same-day appointments Monday through Friday.
Your local team
When something goes wrong at home in the Town of Colonie, you want one local crew that can handle all of it — not four different companies and a call center two states away. Empire State Plumbing is a family-run shop that has worked the Capital Region since 2006, and we cover Colonie and its hamlets — Latham, Loudonville, Newtonville, West Albany, Roessleville and the rest — for plumbing, heating, cooling, and drain & sewer, all from one phone call.
Colonie is a postwar suburb at heart. The median home here was built in 1973, nearly half of all homes predate 1970, and the single biggest cohort — about one in five houses — went up in the 1950s. That housing age is the thread running through almost everything we do here: 1950s galvanized supply lines that have rusted shut, aging cast-iron drains and laterals, boilers and furnaces on the ~74% of homes heated with National Grid natural gas, and full basements that need a sump or backwater valve when the spring snowmelt comes. We diagnose honestly, put the price in writing before we start, and do the job right the first time.
Pick the trade you need below and you will land on the full Colonie page for that work — plumbing, heating, cooling, or drain & sewer — each with real local detail and a way to book. Every job is handled by a contractor licensed in the City of Albany (#PLBG21-147), with Acorn Finance available on larger replacements.
We cover the whole Town of Colonie and its hamlets — Latham, Loudonville, Newtonville, Verdoy, Maplewood, Boght Corners, Roessleville, West Albany, Schuyler Heights, Stanford Heights, Maywood, Lisha Kill and Mannsville — along with the Village of Colonie and the Village of Menands. Loudonville (home to Siena College) and the older Latham and West Albany tracts skew toward the pre-1970 housing that drives most of our repipe, boiler and lateral work, while the newer subdivisions out toward Lisha Kill and Boght Corners tend to be forced-air gas homes ready for central-AC add-ons.

ColonieOlder Newtonville street with mature trees and a slow, recurring main-line backup — ran a drain camera, found root intrusion in a clay/cast-iron lateral, and cleared it with a rooter before scoping a trenchless repair option for the homeowner.

Good to know
Yes. We dispatch same-day across Colonie, Latham, Loudonville and the rest of the town Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6 PM. Call early and a live person will give you a real arrival window — not a vague four-hour guess. We are closed weekends, so for a Saturday-morning problem, call us first thing Friday or as soon as we open Monday.
All four, from one local team: plumbing (repipes, water heaters, service lines, fixtures, gas lines), heating (gas, oil and propane furnace and boiler replacement, plus oil-to-gas conversion where a gas main is on your street), cooling (central AC, ductless mini-splits and indoor air quality), and drain & sewer (drain clearing, rooter service, camera inspection and sewer-line repair). Pick the service you need from the grid above to see the full Colonie details for that trade.
Very likely. The single largest share of Colonie homes went up in the 1950s, and ranches and split-levels of that era were typically plumbed with galvanized-steel supply lines that rust shut from the inside after 70 years. The tells are poor pressure, worst upstairs, and rusty hot water. The real fix is not another cleaning — it’s a repipe to copper or PEX, which on a postwar ranch we can usually do without gutting the house.
Latham Water has posted a public, address-by-address Lead Service Line Inventory under the federal LCRR that lists the material on both the utility side and the private (homeowner) side of your line. We’ll look your address up, confirm what’s actually in the ground at the meter, and if the private side reads lead or galvanized, we replace it. Past the curb stop it’s your line and your responsibility — but it’s exactly the kind of work we do here.
It is usually the combination of an aging cast-iron or clay lateral and heavy spring snowmelt — Colonie gets 52 to 60 inches of snow a year, and a lot of the older town is full-basement homes sitting low. A camera inspection tells us whether the lateral is cracked, bellied or full of roots, and a sump pump with a battery backup plus a backwater valve is the standard protection. We recommend those on the real grounds of aging pipe and snowmelt, not on a combined-sewer claim — the Town of Colonie is not an Albany Pool CSO community.
Yes. About 74% of Colonie heats with National Grid natural gas, and high-efficiency gas furnace and boiler replacement is our bread and butter. If you are on oil and a gas main runs down your street, we can quote an oil-to-gas conversion for the long-run fuel savings. Where there is no gas main to convert to, we install high-efficiency oil and propane furnaces and boilers instead — so you have a real option either way.
Yes — fully licensed and insured, with permits pulled by a Class A plumber under City of Albany Lic. #PLBG21-147. The work goes on record, which matters for your home’s value and when you sell. We have been a family-run Capital Region shop since 2006, and larger replacements can be financed through Acorn Finance, including $0-down options on approved credit.
From a clogged drain to a no-heat call or a new install, book online or call. We answer Monday through Friday and dispatch same-day across Colonie.
Nearby coverage
We work the whole Capital Region, so the same Colonie crews also cover the surrounding Albany County towns and nearby cities. Beyond Colonie and its hamlets we handle plumbing, heating, cooling and drains in nearby Albany and Delmar, and across the river in Troy and East Greenbush. If you are right on the Colonie line, you are still in our same-day range, Monday through Friday.
