"Ralph and his assistant Peter did a great job. They were personable and arrived promptly. The work went smoothly and now I've got a working faucet again. I'd recommend Ralph and his company for any plumbing jobs you might need done if you're looking for a reputable, qualified and excellent plumber."

"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

"Mark came and saved the day today. My bathroom sink and tub were not draining - when I ran the bathroom sink, water started flowing up from the drain in the bath tub. I had no idea what to expect, but expected the worst. Earlier, I had a Big Name plumbing company come, they supposedly 'snaked' the tub drain, but within a minute was telling me the drain pipe was corroded, that it was completely blocked, and we would need to replace the pipe and it would be thousands. Thank goodness my gut told me to get another opinion - In comes Scala's Sewer & Drain Cleaning, and Mark came within a half hour. He came in, looked at the situation, and confidently said "I'll have that unclogged for you" - the stress lifted from our shoulders. A very pleasant person who took the time to explain everything and even provide some helpful tips for upkeep, he worked quickly, efficiently , and neatly - Mark had the pipes flowing again. 10/10 would highly recommend!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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.

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.
