Your complete plumbing team for repairs, installs and maintenance
Looking for a plumber near me?
Empire State Plumbing is a plumbing company you can check before you call: a family-owned, licensed and insured crew (City of Albany license #PLBG21-147) based in Nassau, NY (Rensselaer County) and working across Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga Springs and all 6 counties since 2006. The licensed team that quotes your job does the work, and a local team answers the phone, not a national call center.
We repair and replace water heaters, replace failing supply lines, fix and install sump pumps for wet basements, and handle gas lines, kitchen and bath fixtures and water treatment, with drain and sewer work on its own pages. Not sure what you need? Go straight to the page for your problem: water heater repair for no hot water and leaks, water heater replacement and installation, tankless water heater installation, sump pump repair and installation, a whole house repipe, or the emergency plumber page for a burst pipe, a bad leak or a sewer backup. Think of this page as the map of our plumbing work; each service page has the details.
Tank water heaters still lead among the replacements we do: 269 of the 339 completed replacements in our records were tank models (October 2021 to October 2026). Need a plumber in Albany, NY, Schenectady or Troy? Each city has its own page, listed at the bottom of this one.
One licensed crew start to finish
The licensed team that gives you the quote is the same team that does the work — no subcontractors, no handoffs. City of Albany master license #PLBG21-147, fully insured.
Upfront pricing approved before we start
You get the full price in writing before any work begins, so there are no surprise add-ons when the job is done. Acorn Finance is available on bigger replacements.

Same-day slots open across all 6 counties. Book online in about a minute or call a live Empire State Plumbing dispatcher Mon–Fri, 7:30am–6pm.
How to choose a plumbing company in the Capital Region
The best way to find a plumber is to check the few things you can verify. We are a plumbing service contractor and do not sell parts at a counter, so for supply-house questions call a supplier. If you are choosing someone to fix your plumbing, these are the points worth checking.
A New York license and insurance
Ask for proof of both. Plumbing work in many towns is done by licensed plumbers under local rules.
A price in writing before work starts
An upfront price lets you decide before you commit. Ask what it covers.
Who answers the phone
You should reach a local team that can talk through the problem before anyone is dispatched.
Weekday scheduling
We work Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6pm. After you call, we confirm the next opening.
How we work

Plumbing services we offer, and where to start
Call when a problem keeps returning or when water, gas or sewage is involved. For a gas smell, leave and call your gas utility first. Leaks, clogs that come back, no hot water, low pressure and a sump pump that will not run are all plumbing work. This is where to start for each one.
Water heaters
No hot water, a leaking tank or noises: start with water heater repair. A tank that has failed, or a switch to on-demand hot water: water heater replacement and tankless installation.
Pipes and water lines
Leaks, rusty water and low pressure. A whole house repipe replaces failing supply lines throughout the house, repiping covers one run, and water line repair fixes the line itself.
Basements
A sump pump that will not start or will not stop: sump pump repair and installation. Clogged or backing-up drains have their own drain and sewer services page.
Emergencies
A burst pipe, a bad leak or a sewage backup: see our emergency plumber page for what to do first. The office is open Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm.
Fixtures, gas and water quality
Faucets and toilets, gas lines, and softeners and filters.

Questions we hear
Plumbing questions, answered
The things Capital Region homeowners ask before they decide who to call.

Often, on a weekday. We are based in Nassau, NY (Rensselaer County) and cover all 6 Capital Region counties, and calls placed early Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm, get same-day priority. Call (518) 482-4205 or book online to get the next opening on the schedule. If something is already leaking or flooding, start with the emergency plumber page, which lists the first steps while you wait.
Yes. Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, we prioritize same-day plumbing calls across Albany, Schenectady, Troy, and the surrounding towns. Call (518) 482-4205 to get on the schedule.
Water heater repair, replacement and tankless installation; sump pump repair and installation; whole house repiping and water line repair; gas line repair and installation; kitchen and bath fixtures; and water filtration and softening. Drain and sewer work has its own drain and sewer services page. Start with water heater repair, sump pump repair or whole house repipe if that is your problem, or call and our dispatcher points you to the right fix.
Ask for the license number and look it up, ask for proof of insurance, and get the price in writing before any work starts, along with what it covers. Ask who will do the work and whether the same licensed crew that quotes also does the job. Ours is one flat price after diagnosis, approved by you first, and the credentials are on our licenses and insurance.
Start close to home: a local plumbing company with a real address and a person who answers, then compare two or three on how clearly they explain the problem and the price, not only the number. A company that tells you plainly when a repair is not worth making is usually one you can trust with the bigger decision. Neighbors, reviews and a quick license check all help.
A license is the legal permission to do plumbing work, and in New York plumbing licensing is generally handled locally, by city or county, so ask which authority issued it and for the number. “Certified” is looser: it usually means a training or manufacturer credential, which is useful but not the same as a license. Ask for the license number first, then the certifications.
Our price is one flat figure after diagnosis, so there is nothing to haggle over mid-job, and you approve it before work begins. What you can do is ask what each line covers and whether there is a different scope: a repair now or a replacement, a standard or a higher-end fixture. We lay out the options and the choice stays yours. Financing is available on bigger jobs through Acorn Finance.
Yes, during business hours. Emergency calls are handled Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm. The office is closed Saturday and Sunday. If you smell gas, get everyone outside before you phone anyone. Our emergency plumber page lists what counts as an emergency and what to do before we arrive.
It depends on the age, the type of failure, and how the numbers work out. A water heater under about 8–10 years old with a minor issue is usually worth repairing, while an older tank that’s leaking from the body or failing repeatedly is better replaced — and that’s a good moment to consider a high-efficiency tank or a tankless unit. We give you the honest repair-versus-replace math and an upfront price either way, with Acorn Finance available on a new unit.
Recurring leaks, low water pressure throughout the house, rusty or discolored water, and aging galvanized steel or polybutylene supply lines are the common signs — and a lot of older Capital Region homes still have exactly that piping. We inspect your lines, tell you whether spot repairs will hold or whether a partial or whole-home repipe makes more sense, and price it upfront so there are no surprises mid-project.
Yes. We install and repair gas lines for ranges, dryers, and other appliances, and we handle water filtration and softening — which matters here, where hard water and private well-and-septic properties are common out toward Hudson, Nassau, and the rural towns. Whether it’s running a new gas line or sizing a water softener for well water, our licensed crew takes care of it.
