Rensselaer Customers Trust Fullerton
Called Fullerton for a sewer main backing up into my basement on a Sunday night and they had someone sent out within an hour. Shaquille was incredibly helpful with clearing out the line and showing us a live view of our sewer line. Shaquille even went above to help us clean out the water mess from the issue. Overall great experience and fast help!

Called for an emergency off hours drain clog. Shaq came sooner than had indicated, got the drain unclog and made sure water was draining smoothly. Professional courteous and fair price. I will definitely use Fullerton again and recommend!
Common Plumbing Problems in Rensselaer Homes and Businesses
Scaled cast iron and clay laterals
Many Rensselaer homes still drain through original cast iron and clay pipe. Scale narrows the line, roots break into joints and backups follow. We camera the lateral, clear it and quote a spot repair or replacement when the pipe itself has failed.
Sewer Line RepairBurst pipes after cold snaps
Older Rensselaer homes often have supply lines in exterior walls and crawl spaces. When a cold snap freezes one, it can split and flood once it thaws. Shut the main valve and call. We stop the leak, replace the damaged pipe and check nearby lines for more damage.
Burst Pipe RepairWater heaters in tight basements
Many Rensselaer water heaters sit in small, older basements where a slow leak goes unnoticed. Rumbling, lukewarm water and rust colored water are warning signs. We repair valves and other failed parts, or quote a replacement when the tank is near the end.
Water Heater RepairHeavy use in apartments and storefronts
Apartment buildings and businesses near the Amtrak station area and along Rensselaer's main streets put steady load on drains, restrooms and water heaters. We handle emergency repairs, recurring clogs and replacements for owners and managers, with upfront quotes and work scheduled around your hours.
Commercial PlumbingOlder Homes and Rental Buildings in Rensselaer
Rensselaer's older neighborhoods have homes close together on narrow lots, many with basements and sewer laterals that have served for generations. Cast iron and clay lines are common, and so are slow basement drains, gurgling toilets and backups after heavy use. Mature trees add roots to the mix. When a drain keeps clogging, we camera the line to find out whether it needs cleaning, hydro jetting or a repair. If the lateral has failed, we explain replacement options and quote the work before we start, so there are no surprises.
The city also has apartment buildings, two family homes and businesses near the Amtrak station area and along its main streets. Rental and commercial properties put heavier daily load on drains and water heaters, and tenants need fast help when something breaks. We work with landlords, property managers and business owners on emergency repairs, recurring clogs and water heater replacements. We also serve neighboring East Greenbush, so if you own property on both sides of the city line, one call covers it. We answer 24/7 and clean up when the work is done.
Plumbing Help in Rensselaer, Any Hour
Rensselaer sits right across the Hudson River from Albany, which makes it one of the closest cities to our base at 1400 Central Ave. Fullerton Plumbing answers 24/7 for Rensselaer homes, apartment buildings and businesses. We handle clogged drains, basement backups, sewer line repair and replacement, sewer camera inspection, frozen and burst pipes, leaking fixtures and water heater repair and replacement.

Much of Rensselaer's housing is older, with many homes built in the early and middle 20th century or before. That age shows up in the plumbing: cast iron drain stacks that scale up and crack, clay sewer laterals with root intrusion and galvanized supply lines that lower your water pressure. Homes here face the same freeze risk as the rest of the Capital Region, especially pipes in exterior walls and crawl spaces. We use a live sewer camera to show you what is happening inside your line, so your decision is based on what you can see, not a guess.

Most often because the main sewer lateral is partly blocked. In older Rensselaer homes, roots, scale in cast iron and sagging clay joints are common causes.
