Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Service in Hudson, NY

Yes. We dispatch same-day across Hudson and the surrounding Columbia County towns Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Call early and a live tech will give you a real arrival window, not a four-hour guess. We are based in Nassau and Hudson is part of our regular same-day service area — not a place we visit once in a while.

All four, with one local team: plumbing (repipes, water heaters, fixtures, gas lines, and water treatment), heating (gas, oil, and propane furnaces and boilers, plus no-heat emergencies), cooling (ductless mini-splits, central AC, and dehumidification), and drain & sewer (drain clearing, camera inspection, rooter service, and sewer line repair). Pick the trade you need from the grid above to see the full Hudson page for that work.

Roughly 53% of Hudson’s housing was built before 1939, and homes that age typically run on galvanized-steel supply pipe that rusts shut from the inside. That shows up as brown water, low pressure on the upper floors, and pinhole leaks that keep coming back. Because most Hudson accounts are unmetered, the problem can hide for years. A whole-home repipe in PEX or copper restores clean, full-pressure water for good — and we run it through minimal openings to protect historic plaster.

Usually the smart answer is a ductless mini-split rather than central air. More than half of Hudson’s homes have radiator or boiler heat and no existing ductwork, so a mini-split is the realistic way to add cooling without tearing into century-old plaster and trim. Where ductwork already exists — in post-war homes and gut-renovated shells — we install and replace central AC sized for the humid riverfront summer, and we add dehumidification for damp stone-foundation basements.

Hudson runs a combined sewer system, where sanitary and storm water share the same pipe, so heavy rain can surcharge the mains and push water back toward low-lying homes — especially in the Bridge District and South Bay. A backwater valve and proper cleanouts are genuinely protective here, and on aging laterals under Hudson’s mature street trees we camera-inspect, hydro-jet root intrusion, and reline or repair the line so the problem doesn’t repeat.

Yes — Greenport, Claverack, Livingston, Stockport, and Germantown are all in our same-day range. The work shifts out there: instead of city water, most homes are on private drilled wells, so softeners and iron, manganese, and sulfur filtration are common, and many properties are on individual septic. Off the gas main, heating means high-efficiency oil and propane furnace and boiler replacement. We size every job to the actual property, not a template.

Yes — Empire State Plumbing is fully licensed and insured in New York and has served the Capital Region since 2006. Hudson issues plumbing permits only to master plumbers registered with the city’s Examining Board of Plumbers, so permitted work here is pulled and inspected properly. That matters for safety now and for your records when you sell.
