Yes. We cover Rensselaer for burst pipes, failed water heaters, and backed-up fixtures, and we’ll walk you through shutting off the water over the phone before we head out. We’re based right here in the Capital Region, so a Rensselaer address is a short drive and we can usually get a licensed plumber out the same day. Give us the details when you call and we’ll be straight with you about the timing.

A burst or frozen pipe that is leaking, a leak you cannot stop at the fixture, a sewage backup, no water at all, or any gas smell. With a gas smell, get everyone outside and phone the gas utility from there before calling us. For water, shut off the main, photograph the damage and call during business hours, Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm; our emergency plumber page lists the steps in order. The office is closed Saturday and Sunday.

The City buys its water wholesale from Troy, and Troy’s 2023 and 2024 reports put lead results above the federal action level, which is where the headlines come from. What reaches your own tap depends mostly on the service line and the plumbing in your house, so the fix is at home: identify your service-line material, and if it is lead or galvanized, replace it. A lead-certified point-of-use filter protects you in the meantime.

The City of Rensselaer has prepared a public lead service line inventory, and with about 41 percent of the city’s homes built in 1939 or earlier, lead and galvanized lines are common in the older blocks. We can inspect the line where it enters your basement, confirm the material, and give you a straight answer on whether replacement makes sense.

For most replacement work, yes. Plumbing permits inside the city are handled by the City of Rensselaer Building Department at 62 Washington St, (518) 465-1693, and your plumber files for it and schedules the inspection as part of the job.

Yes. Basements near the river deserve a pump that works, and a pump that runs nonstop, hums without pumping or has quit leaves a basement exposed at snowmelt and in heavy rain. We test the float, the motor and the check valve and repair or replace what is failing. See sump pump repair and installation.

Yes. Toilet repair and installation is everyday work: a toilet that runs, rocks, leaks at the base or will not flush, and a new toilet in a bathroom update. In older units we usually replace the shutoff valve and supply line at the same visit. Landlords often update several fixtures in one trip. See kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
