A small town with long lines
Hudson was incorporated on April 2, 1914. Lots on the edge of town are often larger than lots in a subdivision, and the line from the main to the house can be long. Long lines take longer to trace and cost more to dig.
Begin at the meter. With every tap closed, watch the dial. If it moves, water is escaping somewhere, and the leak detection page explains how that gets found.
Emergency plumber in Hudson: what to tell the dispatcher
- Your address and the nearest crossroad.
- Whether the problem is water, sewage or hot water.
- Whether the water is still running and whether you reached the main.
- The age and fuel type of the water heater.
- Any gate, dog or long drive on the property.
- If a garage, barn or shop has its own water line.
Outbuildings and exposed lines
Shops, garages and barns with their own water line freeze first. A hose bib that splits in a cold snap can flood a wall cavity. After a hard freeze, open each faucet and look for a drip or a stain.
See frozen pipe repair for thawing and repair, and water line repair for a service line that fails between the road and the house.
Plumbing emergency in Hudson?
Call and tell the dispatcher your address, the problem and whether the water is shut off.
Which utility serves your address
Your bill names your water and sewer provider. Tell the dispatcher, since the utility owns the system up to the meter and the owner is responsible from there into the house. The Town of Hudson Town Hall is the local contact for town utility questions.
Hot water and drains
A cold shower is usually a heater problem. See water heater repair, or replacement if the tank leaks. A slow or gurgling drain is a drain cleaning call. Tell us the age of the house. Small-town lots often mix older and newer additions, and each section can have different pipe.
Reading the meter before you call
Most meters show a small leak indicator that turns whenever water flows. With the whole house shut off, watch it for a minute. If it keeps turning, water is leaving the system, either in the house or under the yard.
Note the reading, wait an hour and look again. A change confirms a leak, and the numbers give the plumber a starting point.
Where Hudson plumbing problems start
The town's post office opened in 1883, and its name comes from the Hudson City Land and Improvement Company. A place that old tends to have additions on top of additions. A kitchen from one decade may share a wall with a bath from another.
Mixed construction often means mixed pipe: copper in one room, plastic in the next, and an older steel section behind a wall. Tell the dispatcher what you know, and expect the plumber to confirm it on site. Pressure that drops at every tap often traces to the pipe from the meter to the house. The low water pressure page explains how a supply fault is told apart from a fixture fault.
Before the plumber arrives
- Close the main valve if you can reach it.
- Switch off the breaker or gas to a leaking heater.
- Stop using sinks and toilets during a backup.
- Take photographs for your insurer.
