Delmar · Same-Day Service · Booking Now
Local repiping, water heaters, gas lines, and lead service-line work for Delmar homes — same-day appointments Monday through Friday, from a plumber licensed in the City of Albany since 2006.
Local plumbing, done right
Delmar and the rest of the Town of Bethlehem are a tale of two housing stocks. The median home here was built around 1984, but roughly 14.5% of the town’s homes predate 1940 — and that older stock is concentrated right in the Delmar village core, Slingerlands (with its Victorian railroad-era villas in the Slingerlands Historic District), and Elsmere. That mix means we do two very different kinds of plumbing in the same town on the same day: old-pipe work in the historic core and modern-home retrofits out in the postwar subdivision belt around Glenmont and the rest of Bethlehem.
In the pre-1940 homes, the common calls are failing galvanized supply piping — the kind of line that rusts shut from the inside and leaves you with weak pressure and rusty water — which we repipe in PEX or copper, and lead service-line replacement. The Town of Bethlehem runs an active Lead Service Line Inventory with a public interactive map under the EPA’s revised Lead and Copper Rule, and the town’s own 2023 water-quality report found lead above the action level at one of the thirty homes it tested. Older Delmar, Slingerlands, and Elsmere addresses are exactly where those legacy lead lines and lead solder tend to turn up.
In the newer homes, it’s water heaters, fixtures, gas-line runs for ranges, tankless units and generators, and below-grade bathroom work in the basements so many Bethlehem families finish out. Whatever the age of the house, the work is done by a contractor licensed in the City of Albany (#PLBG21-147) and operating since 2006 — and we offer financing through Acorn Finance on larger jobs.

Repiped a pre-1940 home in the Delmar village core where the original galvanized supply lines had rusted nearly shut — pressure was down to a trickle at the upstairs fixtures and the hot water ran cloudy. We ran new PEX from the meter through the house, replaced the corroded shutoffs, and restored full pressure to every fixture.
Replaced a known lead service line at an older Elsmere home after the owner checked the Town of Bethlehem's Lead Service Line Inventory map and found their address flagged. We swapped the lead supply for a new copper service and installed a point-of-use carbon filter at the kitchen tap while the work was completed.
Finished-basement bathroom in a Glenmont subdivision home where the new fixtures sat below the sewer lateral. We installed a sewage ejector pit and pump to lift waste up to the main and coordinated the plumbing inspection required under the Town of Bethlehem's Finished Basement Policy.
Replaced a failed sump pump in a Hamagrael home near the Normans Kill ravine, where spring runoff was filling the basement pit faster than the worn one-third-horsepower pump could keep up. We set a higher-capacity primary pump, swapped the chattering check valve for a sealed one to stop the back-flow noise, and added a battery backup so the pit still clears during the storm-season power blips that hit that side of Delmar.
From a quick repair to a full replacement, book online or call. We answer Monday through Friday and dispatch same-day across Delmar.

Good to know
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 — 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. If yours is flagged, or you just want to know what you’re drinking through, we can verify the line at the meter and replace it with copper.
On the well-fed side of town, the Town of Bethlehem’s source water from its Hudson River wells carries naturally-occurring iron and manganese — the town treats it at the Clapper Road plant, but it can still show up as orange-brown staining and a metallic taste at the tap. A point-of-entry filter sized to your water handles it for the whole house. The town’s 2023 report also flagged elevated sodium and a couple of TTHM violations, which an under-sink carbon or reverse-osmosis system takes care of for drinking water.
Yes. In the Town of Bethlehem, finishing a basement makes it habitable space, so it requires a building permit and a plumbing inspection. If the bathroom sits below your home’s sewer lateral — which most basements do — it needs a sewage ejector pit or an up-flush system to lift waste up to the main line. We size and install the ejector, rough in the fixtures, and coordinate the inspection so it passes the first time.
If your basement stays dry only because the pump runs, then yes — a backup is worth it, because the wettest days in Delmar are often the same days the power flickers. We install a battery backup that takes over automatically when the main pump loses power or can’t keep up, so the pit keeps clearing during a storm. We’ll also check that your discharge line runs far enough from the foundation, since a lot of the water we see is the pump just recycling the same puddle back into the ground next to the house.
The pipes that freeze here are almost always the ones running through an unheated space — a crawlspace, an outside wall, or a garage — so the fix is usually insulation and, where needed, heat cable on the exposed runs. If you have an outdoor hose bib, disconnect the hose before winter and shut off and drain that line so it doesn’t split behind the wall. If a pipe does freeze, shut your water off at the main and call us before you thaw it — we’d rather find the weak spot than have it burst while you’re warming it up.
