What we fix
Water heater repair and installation
Repair, replacement and new installation for tank and tankless heaters, with the choice of unit based on how your household uses hot water.
Drain cleaning
Water that lingers in a sink or tub, or a laundry or main drain that has stopped, gets cleared so it leaves your home as it should.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Hidden leaks traced in walls, ceilings and under floors, then repaired, so a damp patch or a climbing water bill finally gets an answer.
Sewer line repair
Waste leaves the building through a line that is inspected by camera first, and the repair that follows may be root cutting, a spot repair or a new line.
Repiping and water lines
Pipes that leak or have worn out are replaced in PEX or copper, whether the job is the entire house, one run or the water service line.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Toilets, faucets, shower and tub valves and garbage disposals all fall under this service. The ones that run, drip, leak or jam are repaired, and any that cannot be repaired are replaced with new units.
Who may work on your plumbing
Anyone checking a New Jersey master plumber can start with the License Verification page of the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers, the board that licenses and regulates them, which sits in the Division of Consumer Affairs.
Hoboken’s housing and its water
Over 4 in every 10 homes in Hoboken came before 1960, and half were built in or before 1975. Each building still gets its own look at the pipes, heater and drains.
Hoboken’s water comes from the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority, and the city’s water system is operated by Veolia. The city says the water has no lead in it when it arrives from that supplier.
Our process
Tell us what is happening
Call the number on this page and describe the problem, whether it is a leak, a slow drain, a cold shower or something you cannot quite name.
Get your free estimate
Once you have described the job, we talk it through and give you a free, personalized estimate. Whether to go ahead on it is entirely your decision.
Get the work done
If the estimate suits you, the work goes to a local plumbing provider who completes the repair or installation.
Permit paperwork in Hoboken
The Hoboken Construction Code Office enforces the state’s Uniform Construction Code. Permit application forms can be obtained online, and once any prior approvals are in place, the first step is submitting plans at an appointment.
Free plumbing tools
Want numbers before you call? Five free tools are on the tools page. For water heaters, the size calculator and the serial number decoder need no town. Hoboken is the opening town in the sewer line age checker, the tankless flow calculator and the pipe freeze risk checker, each with a menu of other towns.
Frequently asked questions
Do master plumber licenses have to be renewed?
Yes. Every New Jersey master plumber license runs out on June 30 of an odd-numbered year and must be renewed with the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers, the board that issues it.
Can a plumber dig at the sidewalk to check my water line?
Yes. If the building side of the line is copper, a contractor may dig a test pit at the sidewalk shut-off valve to check the street side, and that dig needs a Sidewalk Opening Permit from the Engineering Department.
Can pipes freeze here in winter?
Yes. Hoboken sees a 27°F average low in January and roughly 70 days a year at or below freezing, enough for exposed spigots, unheated spaces and outside-wall pipes to be at risk.
