What we do

Plumbing help that starts with one phone call

There is no form to fill out and no app to download. You call, describe what you see and hear, and we ask the few questions that decide how urgent it is: where the water is coming from, whether you can shut it off, and whether anyone is in danger.

From there we send a licensed plumber with the right equipment for the problem. Drain machines, a camera, a water heater or a replacement valve can all be on the truck before anyone knocks on your door, because we asked first.

That matters most in a town like Linden, where a lot of the housing is old. About 59 percent of homes were built before 1960 according to county housing data from the 2013 to 2017 survey, so galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains and original water heaters are common finds. Our repiping and leak detection pages explain what that means for your pipes.

Why Linden is different

Water, sewers and storms in a river and refinery town

Linden sits between the Rahway River on its southern edge and the Arthur Kill on its eastern edge. The Union County hazard plan notes storm drain backups that flood some areas in heavy rain, and the city reported at least 5 inches of rain in one July 2025 storm that flooded homes and streets. If your basement takes water, a working sump pump matters more than most owners think.

Sewer service comes from the Linden Roselle Sewerage Authority, which has run since 1948. The same county plan says tree roots get into sewer lines here. A slow main drain that keeps returning often needs a camera look through a sewer camera inspection before anyone cuts or digs.

Drinking water comes from New Jersey American Water, which is replacing old mains in Linden and has committed to replacing lead and galvanized service lines by 2031. If a notice arrives, read the water service line page before you sign anything.

What counts as a plumbing emergency

Call right away if water is flowing and you cannot stop it, sewage is backing up into a tub or floor drain, or a water heater is leaking onto the floor. A boiler that gives no heat in winter counts too. These do damage by the hour.

  • Water you cannot stop. Find the main shutoff and turn it clockwise. If it will not turn, call us and keep everyone away from outlets near the water.
  • Sewage coming up. Stop using every fixture. Do not run the washer or flush.
  • Gas smell or a carbon monoxide alarm. Leave, then call 911 or your gas utility from outside. This is not a plumber's first call.
  • A ceiling that is bulging with water. Keep everyone out from under it and call. Turn off power to that room at the panel only if you can reach it without standing in water.

How a call works

  1. 1You call the 24/7 line.Tell us the address, what you see and whether you can shut the water off.
  2. 2We tell you what to do first.Shutoff steps, what to unplug, what to photograph for insurance and what to leave alone.
  3. 3A plumber is matched to the job.Drain, heater, leak or sewer work needs different gear, so we match it before dispatch.
  4. 4You get a clear price first.The plumber explains the fix and the price before the work begins.

Questions people ask before they call

Yes. The line is open 24 hours a day, every day, including holidays. Call, tell us what is happening, and we will tell you plainly whether it needs a plumber tonight or can wait for a same-day appointment.

We do not promise an exact arrival time over the phone. We tell you what to shut off first and what to photograph while the plumber is on the way.

We work in Linden and five towns that share a border with it: Elizabeth, Rahway, Roselle, Clark and Cranford. Each has its own page with the ZIP codes we serve and local notes.

Yes. The plumber looks at the problem, explains what needs to happen, and gives you a clear price before any work begins. If the job changes once a wall or floor is open, you hear about it before more work is done.

No, and neither should anyone else in the first minutes. If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the building, then call 911 or your gas utility from outside. We can help with the plumbing side once the utility says the building is safe.

It depends on the work. New Jersey guidance describes a like-capacity water heater swap as minor work, which still needs a permit but lets work start after the code office is notified. Repairing a leak in existing piping is treated as ordinary maintenance. Ask the Linden Construction Code Department about your specific job.

New Jersey guidance allows owner-performed plumbing only in the owner's own single-family home. Landlords, two-family owners and tenants need a licensed plumber. Even in your own home, anything involving gas piping or the main sewer line is worth a call first.
