Plumbing, HVAC & Drain Cleaning Services in Cooperstown

PhD Home Services proudly provides professional plumbing, HVAC, and drain cleaning services throughout Cooperstown and the surrounding Otsego County region. This area is known for historic homes, lakeside properties, seasonal residences, and rural layouts that require experienced, detail-oriented workmanship. Whether you’re dealing with a leaking toilet, a boiler issue, a clogged drain, or a full sewer replacement need, we deliver reliable solutions designed for the unique demands of Cooperstown homes.

Cooperstown’s combination of historic architecture and harsh winters often reveals plumbing issues that require careful evaluation and expert repair. Older pipes, long drainage runs to septic connections, shifting soil, and freezing temperatures can all cause toilet problems, pipe leaks, and recurring clogs. We handle every plumbing repair from simple fixture replacements to major pipe repair projects, restoring flow and protecting your home from long-term damage.

Many Cooperstown homes experience drain issues caused by aging cast iron, tree roots, or long lateral lines running beneath driveways or yards. A slow drain or gurgling sound may indicate deeper sewer problems rather than just a surface clog. We provide complete drain cleaning, camera inspections, and sewer diagnostics to identify whether the blockage is in your interior drain system or your main sewer line.

Sewer replacement is especially important in this region, where older clay tile and cast-iron sewer lines are still common. Tree roots, frost movement, erosion, and decades of wear can cause backups, foul odors, and repeated drain failures throughout the home. We replace the sewer line up to your septic tank connection, fix slope issues, and upgrade failing pipe with durable PVC designed for long-term performance.

Heating systems in Cooperstown face extreme demand during the winter season. Whether your home uses a boiler, furnace, heat pump, or mini-split system, reliable heating is essential. We repair and install boilers for hydronic systems, provide furnace service for forced-air homes, and install high-efficiency heat pumps and mini-splits for year-round comfort. Seasonal homes especially benefit from modern heating solutions that prevent frozen pipes and maintain safe winter temperatures.

Water heater failures are common in older homes and in seasonal properties that sit unused for long periods. A leaking water heater, inconsistent hot water, or slow recovery time may indicate failing components or sediment buildup. We repair and replace water heaters & tankless systems, and evaluate the entire plumbing system to ensure proper flow and temperature stability.

Bathroom plumbing issues — clogged toilets, leaking shower valves, low pressure, or tub drain failures — often appear in Cooperstown’s historic homes due to aging fixtures and outdated piping. Whether you’re restoring an older bathroom or updating a new remodel, we repair and upgrade all bathroom plumbing components to ensure reliable function.

For homeowners expanding living spaces, renovating lake homes, or converting barns and outbuildings, proper HVAC and plumbing planning is essential. We install new piping, drains, vents, mini-splits, heat pumps, and heating zones for additions, ADUs, workshops, and basement renovations. Every project is designed to meet modern standards while respecting the structure and age of the home.

At PhD Home Services, we understand the construction styles, weather patterns, and plumbing challenges common in Cooperstown. Every repair and installation is performed with precision, experience, and a commitment to long-term reliability. Whether it’s plumbing, heating, cooling, drain cleaning or sewer repairs, we provide solutions built for Upstate NY homes.
