Emergency Plumbing detailsBurst pipe at 2am, sewer backing up into the basement, no hot water before work? Call Fullerton. Real people answer 24/7, we give you an upfront price, and we clean up before we leave.
Quick answer: Fullerton Plumbing and Drain Cleaning is a 24/7 plumbing company based in Albany, NY. We fix clogged drains, sewer lines, water heaters, frozen and burst pipes, leaks and fixtures for homes and businesses across New York State, with upfront pricing and fully insured technicians.
Plumbing problems do not wait for business hours, so neither do we. For 7 years Fullerton Plumbing has been answering the calls other companies send to voicemail: the kitchen sink that backs up the night before a holiday, the water heater that quits on a January morning, the main line that floods a finished basement on a Sunday. One phone number, a real person on the other end, and a plumber on the way.
We work the way we would want someone to work in our own homes. Your plumber explains what failed and why, shows you the options, and gives you a price before touching anything. Our sewer cameras let you see the problem inside the pipe for yourself. When the job is done, we test it, we clean up the water and the mess, and we leave your home the way we found it.
New York plumbing has its own personality. Old cast iron and clay sewer laterals under 19th century rowhouses in Albany, Troy and Brooklyn. Pipes that freeze on outside walls when lake effect cold settles in. Hard water that scales up heaters from Buffalo to the Finger Lakes. We know these systems, and we bring the drain machines, jetters and cameras to fix them right the first time.

From a slow drain to a collapsed sewer line, one call covers it.

One of our store owner customers put it simply: when their pipes froze, we came through, fast and professional. That is the standard for every commercial call.

Called Fullerton for a sewer main backing up into my basement on a Sunday night and they had someone sent out within an hour.

Overall great experience and fast help!

Shaq Fullerton built Fullerton Plumbing around a simple idea: when someone calls with a plumbing problem, answer the phone, show up, and fix it right. 7 years later that is still how the company runs, from the Albany shop on Central Ave out to job sites across New York.
Customers mention Shaq and our technicians by name in their reviews, for clearing a sewer main on a Sunday night, for showing them the camera footage of their line, and for staying to help clean up. That is the company we are building, one call at a time.
