Plumbing, HVAC & Drain Cleaning Services in Oneonta

PhD Home Services proudly provides high-quality plumbing, HVAC, and drain cleaning services throughout Oneonta and the surrounding Otsego County region. Homes in this area range from historic properties and older farmhouses to renovated modern spaces, each with their own unique plumbing, sewer, heating, and pipe repair challenges. Whether you’re dealing with a clogged toilet, failing water heater, boiler issue, or a sewer line concern, we are equipped to deliver dependable, expert service backed by years of hands-on experience.

Oneonta’s mix of older housing and harsh winters often creates plumbing issues that require precise and immediate attention. Frozen pipes, leaking fittings, aging cast-iron drains, and long plumbing runs to rural septic connections can all lead to pipe repair needs or emergency service. We handle everything from pipe replacement and toilet repairs to full plumbing upgrades that restore flow, reliability, and long-term performance.

Drain cleaning is one of the most common needs in Oneonta due to older piping materials, tree roots, seasonal ground shifting, and long lateral runs beneath driveways or yards. A slow drain, gurgling fixture, or recurring clog is often a sign of deeper sewer or drain system issues. We provide thorough drain cleaning, clog removal, camera inspections, and pipe repair solutions that fix the root cause—not just the symptom.

Sewer replacement and sewer line repair are critical services in Oneonta, especially for homes with older clay tile or cast-iron lines. Tree-root intrusion, soil movement, frost heaving, and decades of corrosion can cause sewer backups, sinkholes, foul odors, or multiple slow fixtures in the home. We replace the sewer line up to your septic tank connection, correct improper slope, rebuild damaged sections, and upgrade failing pipe with durable PVC for long-term reliability.

For homes using boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, or mini-splits, Oneonta’s winter temperatures demand equipment that can handle prolonged cold. We repair and replace boilers, install high-efficiency heating systems, service furnaces, and provide heat pump and mini-split installations designed for cold-climate performance. Whether your home relies on hydronic heating, forced air, or supplemental mini-splits, we design and maintain systems that deliver steady, efficient heat all season long.

Many Oneonta families rely on us for emergency heating repairs, frozen pipe protection, water heater replacement, and leak detection. A failing boiler, a burst pipe, or a leaking water heater can quickly become a major issue in freezing conditions. We respond promptly to stabilize the problem, repair damaged piping, and restore heating or hot water before the situation worsens.

Renovations, additions, basement upgrades, and garage conversions often require new plumbing lines, HVAC adjustments, or expansions to your heating system. We install and upgrade piping, drains, vents, and heating equipment to support remodels, barn conversions, ADUs, or new bathroom spaces. Each installation is designed to handle the unique layout and climate challenges Oneonta homes face.

Oneonta’s older homes often have hidden plumbing issues that go unnoticed until something fails. Corroded pipe, failing joints, cast-iron deterioration, or outdated fixtures can reduce pressure, cause leaks, or lead to sewer backups. Our inspections help identify problems early, protecting your home from costly damage and helping you plan upgrades that improve both comfort and safety.

At PhD Home Services, every repair, installation, and diagnostic call is performed with professionalism, precision, and a deep understanding of Upstate NY infrastructure. We take pride in helping Oneonta homeowners maintain safe, efficient, and reliable systems—whether it’s plumbing, heating, cooling, or full sewer replacement.
