Watchung and Warren Township sit right up against the Watchung Mountains, and that elevation and rocky terrain make for beautiful views — along with some unique plumbing challenges once temperatures drop. Homes built into hillside lots, longer driveways with buried drain lines, and exposed pipe runs in unheated crawlspaces all mean that winter hits sewer […]

Franklin Township and the Borough of Manville represent two very different chapters of Somerset County’s growth — Manville’s tight-knit blocks built up around its early 20th-century industrial history, and Franklin Township’s sprawling mix of older hamlets like Middlebush and Griggstown alongside newer development near Route 27 and Easton Avenue. Despite their differences, homeowners in both […]

Hillsborough and Montgomery Township sit on some of Somerset County’s most fertile farmland, and that rich, dense soil comes with a tradeoff: it doesn’t drain particularly well. Combine that with the newer, larger developments that have gone up over the past few decades along Route 206 and around Route 601, and you get a recipe […]

New Jersey’s tree-lined streets and mature front yards are part of what makes so many of our neighborhoods beautiful, and part of what makes root intrusion one of the most common sewer line problems we see. Willows, silver maples, oaks, and poplars are especially aggressive, and in older towns with clay or cast-iron pipe joints, […]

Your sewer line does its job underground and out of sight, which is exactly why most New Jersey homeowners don’t think about it until something goes wrong. Between older clay and cast-iron pipe common in towns across Union, Middlesex, and Somerset counties, freeze-thaw cycles every winter, and mature trees with aggressive root systems, NJ properties […]

New Jersey’s mix of clay-heavy soil, flat lots, and increasingly heavy storm systems means standing water and soggy yards are one of the most common calls we get for yard drainage. Two solutions come up again and again: French drains and sump pumps. They solve different problems, and knowing which one, or both, your property […]
