Delmar · Same-Day Service · Booking Now
One local team for the whole house in Delmar and the Town of Bethlehem — plumbing, heating, cooling, and drain & sewer. Same-day appointments Monday through Friday, from a contractor licensed in the City of Albany since 2006.
Your local team
When something breaks at home in Delmar, you want one local team that can handle the whole house — not a call center two states away that hands you off four times. Empire State Plumbing is a family-run shop that has worked New York’s Capital Region since 2006, and we run plumbing, heating, cooling, and drain & sewer out of the same trucks, so a single call covers whatever the day throws at you. We dispatch same-day across Delmar and the rest of the Town of Bethlehem, Monday through Friday, and a live tech — not a robot — answers the phone.
Delmar is really a tale of two housing stocks, and that shapes nearly every job we do here. The median Bethlehem home was built around 1984, but roughly 14.5% of the town predates 1940, concentrated right in the Delmar village core, Slingerlands, and Elsmere. So on any given day we might repipe failing galvanized lines in a pre-war home in the morning and add high-efficiency central AC to a postwar subdivision house in Glenmont that afternoon. Older homes bring lead service lines, hydronic boilers, no ductwork for cooling, and aging clay sewer laterals under mature trees; newer homes bring forced-air gas furnaces, finished basements, and modern fixtures. We do both.
Whatever the trade, the work is done by a contractor licensed in the City of Albany (Lic. #PLBG21-147), permits are pulled where code requires, and larger projects can be financed through Acorn Finance, including $0-down options on approved credit. Pick the service you need below and you’ll land on the full Delmar page for that work, with real local detail and a way to book.
We cover all of Delmar and the surrounding Town of Bethlehem hamlets — the established Delmar village core, Slingerlands with its Victorian railroad-era villas in the Slingerlands Historic District, Elsmere, Glenmont, Selkirk, South Bethlehem, and North Bethlehem — from the older tree-lined streets near Delaware Avenue out to the newer subdivision belt and the rural parcels on the town's southern fringe.

DelmarReplaced a known lead service line at an older Elsmere home after the owner found their address flagged on the Town of Bethlehem's Lead Service Line Inventory map. We swapped the lead supply for a new copper service and set a point-of-use carbon filter at the kitchen tap while the work was completed.
DelmarSwapped a failing forced-air furnace in a 1980s Glenmont subdivision home for a high-efficiency gas furnace and brought the duct connections up to spec, so the family had reliable heat back before the next sub-10°F night.
DelmarAdded ductless mini-splits to a pre-war boiler-and-radiator home in the Delmar village core that had no ductwork for cooling — giving them real summer AC without tearing the historic house apart to run ducts.
DelmarCamera-inspected and cleared a tree-root-clogged sewer lateral under a mature, tree-lined Slingerlands street, then hydro-jetted the line and walked the homeowner through a backwater valve to protect the basement from future backups.

Good to know
Yes. We dispatch same-day across Delmar and the rest of the Town of Bethlehem, Monday through Friday. Call early and a live tech gives you a real arrival window — not a four-hour guess. Our hours are Mon–Fri 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and same-day booking fills up, so the earlier you call (518) 482-4205, the better your slot.
Plumbing, heating, cooling, and drain & sewer — one local team for the whole home. That means everything from water heaters, lead-line replacement, and gas-line work to gas furnace and boiler repair, central AC and ductless mini-splits, and drain clearing, rooter service, camera inspection, and sewer repair. Pick the trade you need from the grid above to see the full Delmar details for that work.
Both, depending on the address. National Grid delivers natural gas across much of the Town of Bethlehem, so the core heating work is high-efficiency gas furnace and boiler replacement. Where a gas main is available, the homes still on oil can convert to gas for a real operating-cost savings — that’s a service we do. Out on the rural fringe past the gas main, we install high-efficiency oil and propane furnaces and boilers instead. Tell us your street and we’ll tell you what’s available.
The Town of Bethlehem maintains an active Lead Service Line Inventory with a public interactive map under the EPA’s revised Lead and Copper Rule, so you can look up your own address. Older homes in the Delmar village core, Slingerlands, and Elsmere are the most likely to still have a lead service line or lead solder — the town’s 2023 water-quality report found lead above the action level at one of the thirty homes it tested. If yours is flagged, we verify the line at the meter and replace it with copper.
Yes. In the Town of Bethlehem, finishing a basement makes it habitable space, so it requires a building permit and plumbing, framing, insulation, and final inspections. If the bathroom sits below your home’s sewer lateral — which most basements do — it needs a sewage ejector pit or up-flush system to lift waste to the main, and the policy requires emergency egress through a Bilco bulkhead or egress window well. We rough in the fixtures, size the ejector, and pull the permit so it passes the first time.
Yes — fully licensed and insured in New York, holding City of Albany Lic. #PLBG21-147, with permits pulled by a Class A plumber where Town of Bethlehem code requires it. We’ve worked the Capital Region since 2006, and putting the work on record through the town’s Building Division matters when you sell the house.
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 Delmar.
