Emergency plumbing
When water is where it should not be, call. A burst wall pipe, a dripping ceiling, a toilet flooding the bathroom and sewage in a floor drain all count, and it helps to say which unit or floor it is on.

What we fix
Water heater repair and installation
Leaking at the base, never getting hot or ready for a tankless upgrade, your water heater gets a repair, a same-size replacement or a fresh installation.
Drain cleaning
A single house or a multi-unit building, the drains are treated alike. Kitchen sinks that crawl, tubs that hold water, laundry lines that gurgle and mains that back up are cleared with the cable or water jet that suits the pipe.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A stain on the ceiling, a wet patch in the lawn, a meter that keeps turning with every tap closed or a damp slab floor, traced to the pipe and repaired.
Sewer line repair
A camera run through the line, roots cut out, a broken section dug up and replaced or a failed line renewed, depending on what the recording shows.
Repiping and water lines
Replace the supply piping throughout the house in PEX or copper, swap out one bad stretch, or put in a new water service line.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Fixtures that have worn out are put right, whether that is a running toilet, a dripping faucet, a shower valve that lurches between hot and cold or a disposal that hums and will not grind.
How the city’s water reaches East Orange
Water gets there by gravity. It is pumped to an elevated underground reservoir that holds 10 million gallons, then flows through a network of distribution mains to homes and businesses.
Applying in person at City Hall
Construction applications in East Orange go through the Building Division, which is the city’s State Uniform Construction Code enforcement agency. They have to be submitted in person at East Orange City Hall, 44 City Hall Plaza, on the third floor.
Application fees are payable to the City of East Orange by certified check, money order or credit card, and the city does not accept cash.
Our process
Call and describe the problem
Tell us what you see and where, whether it is a stained ceiling, a cold shower or a slow drain, and whether the property is a house or a rental unit.
Hear your free estimate
After the call you hear a free, personalized estimate and decide for yourself whether to go ahead.
The repair itself
A plumber does the work, then walks you through what was found and what was done.
Lead lines replaced phase by phase
East Orange is working through about 10,000 lead service lines across its drinking water system, and the replacement runs in phases. Four phases remain.
Free plumbing tools
The tools section holds five pages. The size calculator suits a household choosing a tank and the serial number decoder turns a data label into a build year. The tankless flow calculator and the freeze risk checker start from East Orange’s figures, and so does the sewer line age checker, with a place menu to switch.
Frequently asked questions
Who licenses and regulates master plumbers?
Licensing of master plumbers sits with a board inside the Division of Consumer Affairs, the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers, which also regulates them.
Can a broken water or sewer pipe be reported at night?
Yes. The East Orange Water Commission takes reports of a broken water or sewer pipe 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through the Water Department’s Customer Service Center. The number is on the city’s website.
Can pipes freeze in East Orange?
Yes, and the numbers show it. January lows here average 26°F, and about 82 days of the year sit at or below 32°F. A garage with no heat, a crawl space or a wall facing outdoors can carry pipes through that, and the freeze risk checker rates your own layout.
