Plumbing for Landlords and Multi Family Homes in Troy

If you own rentals, a plumber for landlords Troy NY owners trust handles tenant calls, no hot water, leaks between floors and old pipe upgrades in two family and apartment buildings. We schedule with tenants and invoice by unit. Call us to set up service for your buildings.

Small landlords with one duplex and managers with dozens of units both use our plumber in Troy NY team. This page is part of our commercial plumbing service, built around how rentals in this city really work.

• Tenant scheduling. The plumber calls the tenant to set a time, so you do not have to play phone tag. Notice is given as your lease requires.
• Emergency calls. Burst pipes, sewer backups and no water handled day and night. You get a call or text once the plumber is on site.
• Leak tracing between units. Locating the source when water from one apartment shows up in another. The upstairs unit may not be the cause at all, so testing comes first.
• Water heater swaps per unit. Separate tanks for each unit replaced on your schedule, with permits and haul away.
• Repiping. Old galvanized supply replaced one unit or one stack at a time, so tenants keep water most of the day.
• Lead line replacement. Your half of an old lead service swapped for copper, plus the DPU form so the city does its half.
• Code and inspection fixes. Write ups from city checks or insurance visits corrected, with photos for your file.
• Unit turnover checks. Toilets, faucets, drains and the water heater checked between tenants. Small fixes are done on the same visit.

• Most homes are rentals. About 69% of Troy dwellings are rentals, according to NeighborhoodScout.
• Many share a building. About 45% of housing units are in duplexes and converted homes, so one problem often touches two households.
• Century old buildings. Many rentals are 100 years old, with galvanized supply pipe, cast iron stacks and one main for the whole house.
• Winter calls. Heat and hot water problems in January need fast fixes, and tenants expect them. A quick response also keeps relations with tenants on good terms.
• Owner paid water bills. In many buildings the owner pays for water, so leaks and running toilets cost you directly.
• City checks on rentals. Rentals can face city inspection, and plumbing items are a frequent write up.

• Water leaking from upstairs apartment ceilings, traced to tub drains, toilet seals or supply lines.
• Shared drain clogs in two family homes where both kitchens use one stack, cleared from the basement cleanout.
• No hot water. A tenant no hot water plumber call gets priority in winter.
• Running toilets that waste water on owner paid bills.
• Frozen pipes in vacant units after the heat was turned down too far.
• Lead service lines in older buildings.
• Code violations written up during inspections, such as missing shutoffs or bad trap setups.
• Low pressure upstairs from rusted galvanized pipe feeding the top unit.

These are the landlord calls we hear most often.

• Second floor leak through a first floor kitchen ceiling, traced to a tub overflow gasket.
• Two water heaters in a duplex replaced on the same day between tenants.
• Frozen kitchen line in a vacant unit, thawed and insulated before the new tenant moved in.
• Shared main clog in a three family house, cleared and camera checked so the owner could see the root problem.

Empty units cause many of the worst winter calls. A few steps help.

• Keep the heat on. Set vacant units to 55 degrees or higher all winter.
• Shut and drain the lines if a unit will sit empty for a long stretch. Vacant house winterizing plumbing work protects pipes, traps and the water heater.
• Check at turnover. Look for running toilets, drips and slow drains before the new tenant moves in. It is easier to fix things in an empty unit.
• Know your shutoffs. Tag the main valve and each unit valve, and tell tenants where they are.
