Altamont's unique plumbing challenges

About 135 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out

The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Guilderland

First frost typically lands around October 19

Seasonal timing

The gap between a July high of 84 degrees and a January low of 17 degrees is what moves fittings on an exterior run enough to start a leak.

Common questions

How much does a plumber cost?

It depends on the job and how bad the problem is. That is why the first step is a phone call. Describe the problem and get your free estimate on the phone, with upfront pricing.

Will I talk to a real person?

Yes, you will.

Do I need to fill out a form?

No forms and no waiting on emailed quotes. One phone call is all it takes.

Can I get help at night or on a weekend?

We have plumbers ready to help families in the community 24/7, but moment-to-moment availability depends on demand. Call to find out how soon we can service your home.

Should I wait to call?

You already know that plumbing problems don't go away on their own. And waiting just increases the risks to your house. Plumbers see this hesitation all the time. Instead of regretting not calling earlier, just make that 2-minute call now and get your free estimate.

People also ask

Is well plumbing more freeze-prone than a city connection?

Often, because the pressure tank, pitless adapter and the run into the house are the coldest parts of the system. Homes toward Knox on wells see the same pattern.

How do I find the valve that shuts off the whole house?

Look where the service line enters, typically a basement wall on the street side, or beside the pressure tank if the house runs on a well. Older valves can be stiff, which is a good reason to know where it is before there's water on the floor.

Who owns the water line between the street and my house?

The homeowner generally owns the service line from the curb stop into the house, while the utility owns the main under the road. The split point is worth confirming with your water department before any digging happens, since it decides who pays for a repair near Guilderland.

Is galvanized pipe a problem?

It corrodes from the inside, so flow drops and the wall thins with age. In houses near Guilderland of the same vintage it is often the original supply piping.

Is the water here hard enough to cause problems?

Hard water is common across much of the state and it shows up as scale in the water heater, on aerators and inside valve seats. Scale on a hose bib seat is one reason an outdoor faucet stops sealing.
