Gene Wagner started this company in 1998 with one truck and a licence, and the first customers were neighbors. That is still the shape of the work in a city like Shandaken — you show up, you do it right, and the next call comes from the person next door.
Homes around Shandaken, New York tend to be older and further apart, which changes the job. Longer water service runs, more private wells, more frozen pipe calls in January. A plumber who only works new construction is out of his depth here.
Why homeowners keep the number after the first job.
This started as two people and a truck in 1998 and grew on water, sewer and drain work. Nearly three decades in one trade, not a franchise name bought off a shelf last year.
You hear the number before a wrench moves. No hourly meter running while you stand there, and no discovering the real cost after the wall is open.
Sewer and drain problems get a camera down the line first, and you see the screen. Nobody trenches a yard on a guess when a fifteen minute look will show the break.
Every job goes to a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls the permits your town requires. Licence numbers are on the invoice, not buried on a webpage.
Told you need a full repipe or a new sewer line? Get it looked at again. Sometimes it is a smaller fix, and sometimes we confirm the first plumber was right so you can spend with confidence.
The questions homeowners ask us most.
Yes. Burst pipes, sewage backups and no-water calls in Shandaken are answered around the clock. The first thing on the phone is getting your main shutoff closed so the house stops taking damage while a truck is on the way.
For a true emergency in Shandaken the target is same-day, and most of the time inside a few hours. Scheduled work like a water heater swap or a fixture set is usually booked within two or three business days.
That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Shandaken leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
Under about eight years old with a bad element, thermostat or valve, repair is usually the better money in Shandaken. Past twelve years, or if the tank itself is weeping, replacement is the honest answer and we will say so.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Shandaken is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
Yes, and it starts with an actual water test rather than a guess. Hardness, iron and sulfur all need different equipment, so the Shandaken system gets sized off what is really in your water.
What homeowners say after the truck pulls out.
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
"Pressure tank was short cycling every time we ran a tap. Diagnosed a waterlogged tank, replaced it, and the pump is not hammering on and off anymore."
"Solid water heater install. Price fair, work clean. Would have liked a little more warning on the arrival time, but the job itself was right."
Same crews, same pricing, neighboring areas.
