Plumbing, HVAC & Drain Cleaning Services in Otego

PhD Home Services proudly provides professional plumbing, HVAC, and drain cleaning services throughout Otego and the surrounding Otsego County region. Homes in this area range from older farmhouses to modern renovations, and each one requires a careful understanding of pipe repair, toilet replacement, boiler systems, mini-splits, furnaces, and full sewer replacement services. Our goal is to deliver reliable, high-quality workmanship that protects your home through harsh winters, freezing conditions, and the unique challenges that come with rural plumbing layouts.

Whether you are dealing with a leaking pipe, a clogged drain, a slow or backing-up sewer line, or a failing water heater, we handle every phase of the repair with precision and professionalism. Many Otego homes still contain aging cast-iron piping, long private drainage runs, and older HVAC systems that struggle in extreme temperatures. We specialize in upgrading those systems safely, replacing outdated pipe sections, restoring proper drainage, and installing reliable heating solutions such as heat pumps, furnaces, boilers, and energy-efficient mini-split systems.

Drain cleaning is one of the most common needs in Otego, especially for homes with long runs to the septic connection or heavy tree-root intrusion near clay or cast-iron lines. We use thorough drain cleaning techniques to clear clogged toilets, restore proper flow to kitchen and bathroom drains, and address pipe repair issues before they become full sewer emergencies. If a drain problem is recurring, slow, or producing gurgling noises, it often indicates deeper sewer trouble beneath the surface.

Sewer replacement, sewer repair and sewer camera inspections are critical services in older rural properties, where long distances, frost-line shifts, ground settling, and tree roots can damage underground lines. We repair or replace the sewer pipe up to your septic tank connection, ensuring proper slope, strong flow, and long-term durability. If your home experiences foul odors, wet spots in the yard, multiple clogged fixtures, or slow drains throughout the house, it may be time for a sewer replacement evaluation. This is one of our core specialties, and we take great care to protect property while restoring full function.

Heating systems in Otego face extreme demands during the winter season. We repair and install boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, and mini-split systems designed to keep your home warm while operating efficiently. Many older houses rely on outdated heating equipment that consumes too much energy or needs constant service. We replace those systems with modern, dependable HVAC equipment and make sure each installation is properly sized for your home. Radiant heating upgrades and pipe protection in cold zones are also available to prevent winter freeze-ups.

Plumbing repairs of all types are handled with care, from toilet replacements and pipe leak repairs to bathroom plumbing upgrades and water heater installations. Whether you have a frozen pipe, a leaking valve, a broken fixture, or a water heater that can’t keep up, we provide fast and dependable solutions. We also upgrade old copper or galvanized piping to modern materials, improving flow, pressure, and long-term reliability.

Barn conversions, detached garages, ADUs, and rural home additions often require new plumbing lines, drain installation, or HVAC configuration. We ensure these projects meet modern standards, function reliably in cold weather, and integrate smoothly with your home’s existing systems. From pipe repair to drain layout to heating system expansion, we build durable solutions that stand up to Upstate NY conditions.

Every service we provide is built on professionalism, local experience, and a commitment to clear communication. When you call PhD Home Services, you get a master plumber who understands both traditional and modern systems, the demands of Otego winters, and the unique characteristics of rural plumbing and HVAC work.
