Hudson · Same-Day Service · Booking Now
Licensed plumbers serving Hudson since 2006, with same-day service Monday through Friday across Warren Street, the historic district, and the Bridge District.
Local plumbing, done right
Hudson is one of the oldest river cities in the Capital Region, and it plumbs like it — 53% of the housing here was built in 1939 or earlier, the densest concentration of pre-war homes for miles. The brick and wood-frame rowhouses along Warren Street, the Federal and Italianate blocks of the Hudson Historic District, and the earliest-settled core around Front Street and Parade Hill still run on supply pipe a century old. In homes that age that usually means galvanized-steel lines rusting shut from the inside — brown water, weak pressure at the top floor, and pinhole leaks that keep coming back no matter how many times they’re patched. We repipe these homes in PEX or copper so you stop chasing the next failure down the line.
Hudson is also a working Lead Service Line city. The City completed its lead service line inventory for the State’s October 2024 deadline and runs a resident self-survey program where you photograph your own line, and the federal Lead and Copper Rule requires every lead line in the country replaced by 2037. The good news is the city’s own water tested low for lead — a 90th-percentile result of just 1.0 micrograms per liter, well under the action level, with no exceedance. So this is mostly about identifying your line material and getting ahead of the mandate, not a water-safety emergency. We confirm whether your service line is lead, galvanized, or copper, and replace the customer-side run when it needs it.
From water heaters and fixture swaps in Hudson’s many multi-unit historic conversions and short-term rentals, to gas-line work for ranges, dryers, and tankless units on Central Hudson’s network, we handle the everyday plumbing that keeps these old homes running — and because Hudson only issues plumbing permits to master plumbers registered with the city’s Examining Board of Plumbers, we pull the City of Hudson permits the work requires.

Whole-home repipe in PEX for a pre-1939 brick rowhouse off Warren Street in the Hudson Historic District — rusted galvanized supply lines were running brown and choking pressure at the upper floor. We ran the new lines through minimal wall openings to protect the historic plaster, pressure-tested the system, and pulled the City of Hudson plumbing permit.
Confirmed the service line material and replaced a customer-side lead run for an older home near Front Street and Parade Hill after the owner flagged it through the city's lead service line self-survey, then fit a whole-house carbon filter to cut the chlorine taste off the Churchtown Reservoir supply.
Private-well treatment build-out on a rural parcel in Claverack off the gas grid — installed a softener plus iron and manganese filtration to clear staining and odor from the drilled-well water, and tied in a new water heater for the household in the same visit.
Emergency call for a frozen and split supply line behind an exterior wall of a home off Columbia Street during a January cold snap — the break was running water down through the first-floor ceiling. We shut the house down at the main, cut out the failed copper, ran a new insulated PEX section, and added an accessible shutoff so that stretch can be isolated next winter. We pressure-tested it before leaving and flagged two other unprotected runs the owner can insulate before the next hard freeze.
From a quick repair to a full replacement, book online or call. We answer Monday through Friday and dispatch same-day across Hudson.

Good to know
It’s worth checking — Hudson is an active Lead Service Line city that completed its inventory for the State’s October 2024 deadline and runs a resident self-survey where you photograph your own line, and federal rules require all lead lines replaced by 2037. The reassuring part is that the city’s water tested low for lead, well under the action level with no exceedance, so this is about identifying your line and getting ahead of the mandate, not an emergency. We confirm whether your service line is lead, galvanized, or copper and replace the customer-side run when needed.
Not without testing first. Hudson’s water comes from the Churchtown Reservoir and the city doesn’t publish a hardness number, so there’s no basis to sell you a softener on the city supply. The real issue with this chlorinated surface water is taste and chlorination byproducts, which a whole-house carbon filter handles far better. It’s a different story on the private wells in the surrounding towns — out there softeners and iron, manganese, and sulfur filtration genuinely earn their keep, and we size them to your actual well.
That’s the classic sign of corroded galvanized supply pipe, which is standard in the rowhouses and historic-district homes that make up more than half of Hudson’s housing. Once galvanized lines start rusting shut, patching one spot just moves the next leak down the line — and 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.
The pipes that give people trouble here are the ones running through uninsulated exterior walls, crawlspaces, and unheated basements — common in Hudson’s older housing stock. Keep those areas above freezing, insulate any exposed copper or PEX, and let a faucet drip on the coldest nights when a run sits against an outside wall. If you have a spot that has frozen before, we can insulate it properly or reroute it so it stops happening every cold snap.
For most small repairs and fixture swaps, no — but water heater replacements, repipes, new or replaced service lines, and anything that alters the plumbing system usually require a City of Hudson permit and inspection. We pull the permit and handle the inspection as part of the job, so it’s not something you have to chase down. If you’re not sure whether your project needs one, tell us what you’re planning and we’ll give you a straight answer before we start.
Across the area
We also serve the surrounding Columbia County communities, including Greenport, Claverack, and Germantown, where many homes run on private wells.
