Quick answer: Yes. Fullerton Plumbing answers the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Albany is not a service area we drive into. It is where our vans park every night. Fullerton Plumbing works out of 1400 Central Ave, which puts Center Square, Pine Hills, the South End and the neighborhoods off Washington Avenue a short trip from our door. Customers here have written that we showed up within 30 minutes, and one Sunday night sewer backup was handled within the hour. We cannot promise that every time, because timing depends on demand and where our crew already is. What we can promise is that a real person answers the phone 24/7, at 3am on a Tuesday or on a holiday weekend.
Most Albany emergencies trace back to the age of the housing. Much of the city's housing is close to a century old or older, so many homes still carry original cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines that rust from the inside. Those pipes fail without warning, often during a cold snap or a heavy rain. When you call, we ask what you see and tell you how to stop the damage while we drive over. On site, we find the cause, give you an upfront quote before any work starts, make the repair, and clean up the water and mess before we leave your home or building.
Local tip: Find your main shutoff before you need it. In most Albany rowhouses and older single family homes it sits on the front basement wall, where the water service comes in from the street. Turn it once a year so it does not seize. Keep a flashlight and an old towel near it. If water is coming through a ceiling, shut the main first, then switch off power to that area at the panel if you can do so safely, and call us.

In older Albany homes that usually means a burst or split pipe, sewage rising from a basement floor drain, a water heater leaking at the base, or no water at all in winter. If you are unsure, call us. We will talk you through it and tell you honestly whether it can wait until morning.
