FAQs
Are your Altamont plumbers fully licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician on our team holds an active New York State plumbing license and carries full liability and workers’-comp insurance. Licensing ensures we have completed the state-required classroom training, passed rigorous exams, and stay current through continuing-education courses. Insurance protects your property and our staff, giving you total peace of mind on every job.
What plumbing services do you provide in Altamont?
We handle the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial plumbing needs, including leak detection and repair, water-heater installation and maintenance, drain cleaning, sewer line inspection and replacement, bathroom and kitchen remodel rough-ins, water-quality testing and filtration, sump pump installation, and 24/7 emergency response. If water or gas runs through it, we service it.
How quickly can you respond to a plumbing emergency?
Our on-call plumbers are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for Altamont residents. In most cases we arrive within 60 minutes of your call. Our service vans are stocked as mobile workshops, so over 90 % of emergency issues—burst pipes, severe drain clogs, failed water heaters—are resolved in a single visit.
What will a plumbing repair or installation cost?
We offer transparent, upfront pricing. After an in-home assessment, your plumber will present a written estimate that lists parts, labor, and any permits required. You approve the price before work begins, and that price does not change unless you authorize additional work. We also provide flat-rate pricing for common tasks (e.g., water-heater flush, fixture replacement) and flexible financing options for larger projects.
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Altamont?
Most major plumbing alterations—such as water-service replacements, sewer connections, or bathroom remodels that relocate fixtures—require permits from the Village of Altamont or the Town of Guilderland. As licensed Master Plumbers, we pull all necessary permits, schedule inspections, and ensure the work meets local codes. Minor repairs (fixing a leaky faucet, clearing a clog) typically do not require a permit.
How can I extend the life of my plumbing system?
1. Schedule an annual whole-home plumbing inspection to spot small issues before they escalate. 2. Flush your water heater once a year to remove sediment and improve efficiency. 3. Install mesh strainers on sink and shower drains to prevent clogs. 4. Use only septic-safe or biodegradable cleaners if you have a septic system. 5. Keep your home heated above 55 °F in winter and insulate exposed pipes to avoid freezing. 6. Add a pressure-reducing valve if your water pressure exceeds 80 psi. Our plumbers can perform all preventive maintenance tasks and advise you on best practices tailored to Altamont’s water conditions.
