Troy 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 Troy Homes and Businesses
Combined sewer backups in low basements
Older parts of Troy share combined sewers that carry storm water and sewage together. Heavy rain can push water toward basement floor drains when a lateral is partly blocked. We clear and inspect the line, repair failing sections and talk through backwater valve options.
Sewer Line RepairMixed pipe in 1800s rowhouses
Downtown and South Troy rowhouses often mix original cast iron, galvanized supply lines and pieces from later remodels. Each transition is a weak spot for leaks and low pressure. We find the worst sections, replace what is failing and quote a full repipe only when it makes sense.
RepipingHeavy use in student rentals
Apartments near RPI and other multi unit buildings see heavy daily use. Clogged toilets, slow showers and worn water heaters come up often, and tenants need quick fixes. We work with landlords and property managers on repairs, turnovers and recurring drain problems.
Property Management PlumbingTree roots under old sidewalks
Many Troy laterals are clay pipe running under sidewalks lined with mature trees. Roots creep into the joints and catch paper and grease until the line blocks. We confirm the problem with a camera, then hydro jet the line to cut roots and scour away buildup.
Hydro JettingBrick Rowhouses and River Town Plumbing in Troy
Much of downtown Troy and South Troy was built in the 1800s, when the city was an industrial center along the river. Those brick rowhouses are handsome, but their plumbing is often a mix of original cast iron, galvanized supply lines and pieces added during later renovations. Clay sewer laterals are common, and many run under sidewalks lined with mature trees. Like Albany, older parts of Troy are served by combined sewers that carry storm water and sewage together, so heavy rain can push water back toward low basement drains when a lateral is partly blocked.
Up the hill, in neighborhoods like Sycaway and the Eastside, you find more early and mid 20th century homes with their own aging pipes. Lansingburgh, at the north end of the city, has a long history and plenty of older housing as well. Across Troy, winter is hard on plumbing. Wind off the river and long cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls, back porches turned into kitchens and unfinished basements. If you rent out units, a burst pipe in one apartment can quickly reach the one below, so a fast shutoff and a fast repair matter.
Plumbing Help in Troy, Any Hour
Troy sits on the east bank of the Hudson River, a quick trip from our Central Ave base in Albany. It is one of the most interesting cities we work in. Downtown has blocks of 19th century brick rowhouses and commercial buildings, RPI sits on the hill above, and neighborhoods like Lansingburgh, South Troy, Sycaway and the Eastside each have their own character. We have customers across all of them. One Troy homeowner left us a Google review after we came out on short notice, and that is the standard we try to hold for every call.
Older Troy buildings often have plumbing that has been modified many times over the years. Rowhouses converted into apartments, storefronts with living space above, and student rentals near campus all put heavy demand on aging pipes. We see a lot of slow drains, clogged sewer laterals, leaking cast iron stacks and failing water heaters in basements that were never designed for modern loads. We bring drain machines, hydro jetting equipment and a sewer camera, give you an upfront quote before work starts, and clean up afterward. We are fully insured and answer 24/7.
Troy Plumbing Questions
Yes, and a Troy customer said so in a Google review after we showed up on short notice. Troy is just across the river from our Albany base. We answer calls 24/7 and send the nearest available technician. Timing depends on demand and traffic over the bridges, so we give you an honest estimate when you call. You get an upfront quote before any work begins.
Often, yes. We start with a sewer camera inspection and leak detection so we know exactly where the problem is before opening anything. In 19th century rowhouses, many pipe runs are reachable from the basement or through existing access points. When a wall does need to open, we keep the cut as small as possible and clean up when we finish. You see the plan and the price before we start.
Yes. Landlords and property managers in Troy call us for clogged drains, leaking fixtures, running toilets and water heater problems in student rentals and apartment buildings. Heavy use is hard on older plumbing, and small problems turn into big ones when nobody reports them. We are fully insured, open 24/7, and we keep you updated so you can communicate clearly with tenants.
It can be, but only after we look first. Hydro jetting uses high pressure water to scour grease, scale and roots out of a sewer line, and it works well on cast iron and clay that are still structurally sound. If the camera shows a cracked or collapsed section, jetting is not the right tool, and we will tell you that. We match the method to the condition of your pipe.
Yes. We replace tank and tankless water heaters in Troy rowhouses, apartments and single family homes, including tight basements with narrow stairs. We check the space, the water connections and the condition of nearby pipes before recommending a unit, and we give you an upfront quote first. If your current tank is leaking, shut the cold water valve on top and call (518) 776-7838.
Yes. We help restaurants and cafes in Troy with kitchen drain backups, grease trap cleaning, floor drain clogs and restroom plumbing. Downtown kitchens often run through older lines that clog faster under heavy grease loads. We clear the line, hydro jet it when needed and can set up preventive drain maintenance so backups do not interrupt service. We answer 24/7.
