What we fix
Water heater repair and installation
Tank and tankless water heaters repaired, swapped for a new unit of the same capacity, or installed fresh where the house needs more hot water.
Drain cleaning
Kitchen, bath, laundry and floor drains cleared of grease, hair and buildup, with a camera run down the line when a clog keeps coming back.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Hidden leaks traced inside walls, under floors and along the water line in from the curb, then repaired so the damage stops spreading.
Sewer line repair
When roots, cracks or a sag block the pipe that carries waste from your house to the street main, we camera it, cut roots, mend a bad section or lay a new line.
Repiping and water lines
New supply piping for one bathroom, one floor or the whole house when the old lines corrode or leak, and new water service lines from the curb box in the sidewalk to your meter.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
A toilet flapper that hisses all night, a faucet cartridge that weeps, a shower valve that drifts hot and cold, or a garbage disposal stuck mid-grind, each repaired or swapped for a match to your piping.
Who may work on your plumbing
In New Jersey, master plumbers are licensed and regulated by the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers, part of the Division of Consumer Affairs, and the license has to be renewed every two years.
Board rules allow plumbing to be performed only by a master plumber, an authorized plumbing contractor, or employees whose pay is reported on a W-2 form. The board’s website has a License Verification page for checking a license before the work begins.
Passaic’s older homes and lead lines
Passaic’s housing leans old. Half of its homes date from 1938 or earlier, close to three in four went up before 1960, and over 8 in every 10 before 1980.
The Passaic Valley Water Commission finished its lead service line replacement program in May 2026, with 854 lead service lines replaced in Passaic. That work covered the service lines up to the meter, not the piping, solder and fixtures inside each house.
Our process
Call and describe the problem
Describe the trouble on the phone, including which room, what you hear or see and when it started, so we know which plumbing service the call needs.
Hear your free estimate
You learn what the job involves and get a free, personalized estimate before anything is booked, with no obligation to go ahead with it.
The repair itself
The plumber does the agreed work, runs water through the repaired lines and fixtures, and talks you through what was done before leaving.
When Passaic asks for a permit
The City of Passaic Construction Department posts the state’s list of minor work and ordinary maintenance for one- and two-family homes. Replacing a water heater with a new one of like capacity is on the minor work list, so it needs a construction permit, though the work may begin once notice has been given to the local code enforcement agency.
Free plumbing tools
Three of the five free tools on this site work with Passaic’s own figures. The tankless flow calculator sets the winter inlet temperature, the freeze risk checker uses the January low, and the sewer line age checker opens on the town’s median build year. The size calculator and the serial number decoder work the same for any home.
Frequently asked questions
Can a plumber’s van show whether they hold a license?
Yes, in part. Vehicles used for state-licensed master plumbing must be marked on both sides with the master plumber’s name and “Plumbing Lic. #” followed by the license number, and invoices have to show the license number as well.
Is the sewer connection to the street my responsibility in Passaic?
Yes. The city code makes every owner, occupant or person in charge of a property responsible for installing, repairing and keeping up all connections between that property and the main sanitary sewer line.
Do pipes freeze in Passaic?
Yes, they can. Passaic averages 26°F on January nights and logs about 80 days a year at 32°F or below. A hose bib line, pipes crossing a garage or crawl space and runs inside an exterior wall feel that cold first.
