Plumber in Ridgewood, NJ

Renovations and fixture work

New vanities, faucets, toilets and shower valves are straightforward when the supply and drain lines behind them are sound. In an older house we check those lines first, so the new fixture is not connected to a pipe that will fail in a year.

Water heaters and heat

Larger households often outgrow a standard tank water heater. We can tell you whether a bigger tank, a different recovery rate or a tankless unit fits how your house actually uses hot water. Many Ridgewood homes also still run steam or hot-water radiator heat, which we service and repair.

Leaks and older pipework

A small leak in a finished basement or behind a tiled wall does the most damage while nobody can see it. We trace leaks to the source and open only what the repair needs.

Sprinklers, backflow preventers and outdoor taps

Many Ridgewood properties have lawn sprinkler systems, and every one connected to the public water supply needs a backflow preventer to stop lawn water being drawn back into the drinking water. Those devices, and the outdoor taps beside them, are the parts most likely to split over a hard winter.

We fit and replace backflow preventers, replace frozen spigots with frost-proof ones where a tap keeps freezing, and shut off and drain irrigation lines before the cold arrives.

Before a renovation starts

If you are planning a bathroom or kitchen, call before the walls are closed. It costs far less to replace an old valve or a corroded section of pipe while everything is open than to come back for it after the tile is down. We can look at the existing lines with your contractor before demolition and tell you what should be replaced while the wall is open.
