"There was almost an immediate response to our request for a plumber for valve work in our basement. Through a phone call and texting of pictures Titan was able to determine the problem and the parts needed to make the repair. At 7:05 the next morning (after plumbing supplier opened)we received a phone call with an estimate. Within 45 minutes the two workers were at our house and 20 minutes later the problem had been corrected. We are very pleased and thankful for their efficient, professional, and friendly service. We know they fit us into their busy schedule. We certainly recommend Titan to others!"

"Fast, Clean, Efficient, Feasible! This is an easy review to write when you have a professional on the job. Titan Plumbing Sewer & Drain was on site ready to swap out our old tank and install the new one. Also, was aware of new housing codes and installed an Expansion Tank. He could of easily changed the thermocouple just to get by but did not recommend doing so on a 10+ unit. Do it right once and call Titan Plumbing Sewer & Drain. We were so happy with their service! Easy to recommend them"

"We have used Gene from Preferred Plumbing on several occasions. We had a water heater replaced and multiple faucets, hose bibs changed or repaired, and drain / sewer clogs. Gene was responsive, courteous, and explained the issue and required work clearly. The work was completed without issues and reasonably priced. I recommend Gene (Preferred Plumbing) for any plumbing issues / work."

Customers say: Quick response

"Our house main sewer line had backed up at the clean out plug area just before the main emptied to the street sewer system. Mark Scala promptly came to our house this Saturday morning and had cleared the clog at the main trap. I selected Scala Sewer & Drain because of the reviews here on "Home Advisor" and I was impressed as everyone else. Having just come in from a long flight the night before, Mark was very courteous , professional and indicated he'd be right over within the hour. From the time Mark arrived our drain was cleared within the hour. Considering the task at hand, the area was cleaned and disinfected with bleach with little or no debris left behind. I highly recommend Mark Scala and his family owned business. Outstanding service. Thank you again, Mark."

"Needed leaky water valve repaired and sewer system unclogged. Came within 45 minutes of my desperate phone call. Installed new valve and new copper piping. Could not flush clog from inside, so came next day and dug 7' hole in front garden to remove the clog. Also installed vertical pipe to access any future sewer problems. Work crew had to dig out two big bushes to access the old sewer pipe at my home's foundation but replanted them along with any tulip bulbs they displaced. Truely considerate of my early spring garden! Courteous, mindful of property, work done in a timely fashion at a fair price. Explained each step in the process and why it was needful. Very pleased with 'Moose' and his work team."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Timelines for plumbing projects depend heavily on the season and the scope of the work. Minor repairs take one to two days, while full repipes in older Rutherford homes take four to ten weeks. Winter freezes cause emergency delays, making summer the ideal time for planned updates. Remember to factor in five to ten business days for local permit processing before work begins.

Helpful?

Venting systems and backflow preventers require precise installation to prevent sewer gas intrusion and water contamination. In older Rutherford homes, connecting new copper piping to aging galvanized steel or lead lines without proper transition fittings causes rapid corrosion. Additionally, skipping insulation on pipes in exterior walls leads to burst pipes during freezing winters. Always hire a licensed professional to ensure safe, code-compliant plumbing work.

Helpful?

Opening walls during plumbing projects in older properties reveals hidden issues like lead supply lines, asbestos insulation, or severely deteriorated cast iron drains. These hazardous materials require professional replacement or abatement. Work in New Jersey flood zones also demands specialized sump pump configurations. You must anticipate extra municipal fees for multiple permits, re-inspections, or opening a public street to repair a sewer lateral.

Helpful?

Address dripping faucets by shutting off the individual fixture valve underneath the sink. Clear slow drains using a manual plunger, but avoid chemical cleaners that damage older plumbing. During freezing weather in NJ, keep cabinet doors open to protect exposed lines. If you notice sewage backups, discolored water, or a gas smell, contact a licensed professional immediately to handle these critical hazards.

Helpful?

As homes age, their plumbing infrastructure requires predictable updates. Properties built before 1950 feature original lead service lines and heavily clogged galvanized pipes that demand full replacement. Mid-century homes face pinhole leaks in aging copper lines and degrading clay sewer laterals prone to root intrusion. In any era, properties affected by Rutherford flooding experience accelerated deterioration of basement drains and sump systems, requiring proactive upgrades.
