Old houses, layered plumbing
Older homes often carry several generations of pipe: galvanized steel, cast iron, copper and newer plastic, added over decades of repairs and renovations. Galvanized supply lines rust closed from the inside and weaken pressure. Cast iron drains scale and crack. We find out what you have and explain it in plain terms before any work starts.

Roots in the sewer lateral
Clay sewer laterals and mature trees are a common pairing in older neighborhoods. Roots enter at the joints and thicken until the line backs up. We clear them by cabling or jetting, then put a camera down the line. If roots keep coming back, relining seals the joints so they have nowhere to get in.

Fixtures and renovations
Work in an older home often turns up surprises behind the wall. We install and repair faucets, toilets, tubs and showers, and we will tell you plainly when an old valve or drain is worth replacing while the wall is open.

Services here
- Sewer Camera InspectionA camera on a push cable shows exactly what is inside your sewer line. It turns a guess into a decision, and it often saves a repair you did not need.
- Sewer and Drain Clog ClearingWhen water comes up in a basement drain, a lower toilet or a tub, the clog is in the main sewer line. We clear it from the cleanout, find out why it happened, and show you.
- RepipingWhen the water pipes in your house keep leaking, rusting or losing pressure, patching stops making sense. Repiping replaces the supply system with new pipe, planned around your walls and your schedule.
- Trenchless Pipe ReliningRelining builds a new, seamless pipe inside your existing one. It seals cracks and open joints, keeps roots out, and usually needs little or no excavation.
- Kitchen and Bathroom PlumbingKitchens and bathrooms hold most of the plumbing in a house. We fix the fixture in front of you and check the supply, drain and vent behind it.

Questions
Working in South Orange
Do you serve South Orange?
Yes. South Orange is on our service area list, for homes and businesses.
Will the roots come back after you clear them?
Usually, because the gaps at the joints are still there. Scheduled cleaning keeps regrowth from causing backups, and relining seals the joints for good. We show you the footage and explain both.
Should I scope the sewer before buying an older home?
It is a good idea. A camera inspection shows roots, cracks and sags that a standard home inspection does not see.
