Maplewood is a pre-war commuter township built around Maplewood Village and its NJ Transit station, with tudors, colonials and center-hall homes on tree-lined streets. Houses of that vintage usually still have their original heating layout and drain lines, even when kitchens and baths have been redone twice. Our home base is Bergen County, and we travel to Essex County every day — Maplewood included.

What We See in Maplewood Homes & Buildings
- Most of the housing dates to the 1910s-1930s, so steam and hot-water boilers, cast iron waste stacks and mixed supply piping are the norm.
- Renovated kitchens and bathrooms often sit on top of original piping that was never upgraded, which is where leaks tend to start.
- Mature street trees make root intrusion in sewer laterals a recurring issue in the older sections.
Sections of Maplewood we serve include Maplewood Village, Hilton, along with every other part of the township.

Maplewood Plumbing & HVAC FAQs
We renovated our kitchen but the drain still runs slow. Why?
New fixtures often tie into the same old cast iron branch and stack. If the restriction is downstream of the work you paid for, no amount of new trim will fix it — a camera inspection shows exactly where the narrowing is.
Can we keep our radiators and still get central cooling?
Yes, and most Maplewood homeowners do. Ductless mini splits or high-velocity systems add cooling without giving up the even, quiet heat that a radiator system provides.
Roots keep getting into our sewer line. Is a full replacement the only fix?
Not necessarily. If the camera shows one or two bad joints, a spot repair or a trenchless liner can restore the line without excavating the whole yard. We only recommend full replacement when the pipe is failing along its length.
