"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."

"Jimmy was amazing. My boyfriend and I were in a serious bind when water started leaking into our kitchen from the bathroom upstairs after we just moved in. I called a handful of other plumbers who wanted to charge us an estimate to come, wanted me to send pictures for an estimate or quoted an exorbitant amount without a clear plan due to the complexity of our issue. I was starting to get really worried until I called Titan. Jimmy was professional, personable and fairly priced. He came that night and determined a plan for a permanent fix. The next day he rerouted all the pipes and corrected the issue in no time. We are so grateful we found him!"

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"Great value and excellent communication... The owner called and confirmed his initial and actual work day appointments. The job was well planned and the crew was professional, worked clean and respected the home contents. I have already referred Intact to others and will continue to do so. With so many horror stories that you hear about contractors, Intact Plumbing was a great hire. I would recommend them to everyone."

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?

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.

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.
