Plumber in Clifton, NJ

Post-war capes and split-levels

Many Clifton homes were built in the decades after the war and have their original copper supply lines and cast-iron drains. Those materials last, but pinhole leaks in old copper and corroded drain joints start to appear with age. A small leak in a finished basement or behind a kitchen wall does most of its damage before anyone sees it, so we trace it before opening anything.

Water heaters at the end of their life

Tank water heaters typically last around ten to fifteen years, and many in Clifton's homes are original to a renovation that is now that old. Rust-coloured hot water, rumbling as it heats, or water around the base are signs to call before it fails. We can replace it like for like or talk through a larger or tankless option.

Kitchens and bathrooms

When a Clifton kitchen or bathroom is being updated, it is the best time to replace old shut-off valves and any corroded supply lines behind the wall. We work with your contractor or on our own, and price the plumbing before work starts. Doing it while the walls are open costs far less than coming back for a failed valve after the new tile is down.

Heat in older homes

Older Clifton houses often still run hot-water or steam radiator heat. We service and repair both, and a cold radiator or noisy pipe is usually fixed with a part or an adjustment rather than a new boiler.

Water pressure and outdoor taps

If faucets spray, toilets keep running or pipes knock when a tap closes, the pressure coming into the house may be too high. We test it at the main and, where needed, fit or replace a pressure reducing valve to bring it within safe limits, which protects every fixture and appliance in the house.

Clifton's larger lots also mean more outdoor taps and sprinkler lines. We replace split spigots, fit frost-proof ones where a tap keeps freezing, and drain irrigation lines before winter.
