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

Common Plumbing Problems in Schenectady Homes and Businesses
Century old sewer laterals failing
Homes in the GE Realty Plot and near Union College often still drain through original clay or cast iron laterals. Roots, cracks and sagging joints cause repeat backups. We run a live camera so you see the line yourself, then quote cleaning, a spot repair or replacement.
Sewer Camera InspectionWet basements near the Mohawk
Low lying homes in the Stockade and along the river can take on water when the Mohawk runs high or snow melts fast. A tired sump pump or a blocked discharge line makes it worse. We replace pumps, fix check valves and add battery backups for storm outages.
Sump PumpsGalvanized lines dropping water pressure
Early and mid century homes in Bellevue and Mont Pleasant may still have galvanized supply pipes that close up with rust inside. Pressure drops, water turns brown and leaks start at fittings. We replace the worst runs or repipe the house in copper or PEX after an upfront quote.
RepipingShared drains in multi family rentals
Schenectady has many two family homes and small apartment buildings where several units share one drain line. One tenant's grease or wipes can back up the whole building. We clear mains, jet heavy buildup and work with landlords on scheduled maintenance so it stops happening.
Property Management PlumbingSchenectady Plumbing, From the Stockade to Woodlawn
The Stockade sits right along the Mohawk River, and its old homes come with old problems: tight crawl spaces, mixed pipe materials from decades of updates, and basements that can take on water when the river runs high. Closer to Union College and along Upper Union Street, early 20th century houses often still have cast iron drains and clay laterals. In the GE Realty Plot, many large homes date to the early 1900s, and their original sewer lines have been working for over a century. A camera inspection is the fastest way to know what condition yours is in.
Bellevue, Mont Pleasant and Woodlawn have more modest housing, mostly from the early and middle 20th century. Those blocks are on city water and sewer, and the common issues are galvanized supply lines that clog with scale, root intrusion in clay laterals, and basement drains that back up. Winters along the Mohawk are cold and windy, so pipes in exterior walls, enclosed porches and unfinished basements are vulnerable. If you are leaving a house empty for a stretch in January, keeping it warm and shutting off the main water valve is cheap insurance against a burst pipe.
Plumbing Help in Schenectady, Any Hour
Schenectady is a straight run west from our Albany base along Route 5, and it is one of the places we cover most. The city has a deep history, and its plumbing shows it. You might be in a Stockade home that predates most of the country, a 1910s house in the GE Realty Plot, or a two family in Mont Pleasant that has been renovated room by room. Each one needs a different approach. We answer calls 24/7, quote the work before we start, and leave your basement cleaner than we found it.
Plenty of Schenectady homes went up when General Electric was hiring and the city was growing fast. That boom left neighborhoods full of solid houses with aging drain lines underneath. Today we see the same calls again and again: slow basement floor drains, kitchen lines packed with grease, sewer laterals cracked by roots, and tank water heaters that have reached the end of their run. Our technicians carry drain machines and a sewer camera, so you can watch the inspection live and decide on repairs with real information, not a guess.
Schenectady Plumbing Questions
Yes. Schenectady is one of the closest cities to our Central Ave base, and we serve it every day of the week. Call any hour and we route the closest open technician to Schenectady. Travel time depends on traffic, weather and how many calls are open, so we tell you honestly when to expect us. You get an upfront quote before any work begins, and we clean up before we leave.
Stop running water in the house first. That means no laundry, showers, dishwashers or flushing, because every gallon goes to the same blocked line. Then call us. We clear the main line, run a camera to find the cause, and show you the live view. Roots, grease and broken clay pipe are the usual suspects in older Schenectady neighborhoods. We also clean up the water that came up through the drain.
Yes. Many Realty Plot homes were built in the early 1900s, and some still drain through original clay or cast iron laterals. Those pipes can crack, sag or fill with roots after a century underground. A sewer camera inspection shows exactly where the trouble is. If replacement makes sense, we explain your options, including trenchless sewer replacement where the site allows it, and quote the work up front.
Often, yes, though it depends on the unit and our schedule that day. Reviewers have mentioned us replacing water heaters on short notice. Tank water heaters often last 8 to 12 years, so if yours is in that range and leaking at the base, replacement is usually the smart call. We remove the old unit, install the new one, and test it before we go.
Yes. We work on commercial plumbing across Schenectady, including restaurants, retail spaces, offices and apartment buildings. Common calls are kitchen line backups, grease trap cleaning, restroom repairs and water heater problems. We are fully insured, open 24/7 so we can work around your hours, and we give an upfront quote before any work begins. Ask about preventive drain maintenance if the same line keeps clogging.
Yes. Fullerton Plumbing answers 24 hours a day, every day, including weekends and holidays.
