Borduin Plumbing & Heating has served homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses in Pompton Lakes and across Passaic County since 1950. That is more than seven decades of showing up, doing the work right, and earning the trust of the people who live and work here. We handle plumbing repair and installation for every kind of property, and we are available today. Seven days a week. Competitive rates. Water back fast. Call (862) 470-1789 to get a licensed plumber on the job.
Your home deserves pipes that are sound and up to code, and so does your commercial property. We handle the full range of everyday plumbing work: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposal repair and replacement, water pressure issues, shutoff valve repair, and full repiping. Whether you own a single-family home, manage a rental building, or run a small business in the area, we bring the same attention and the same standards to every call.
Our estimates are clear and given before any work begins. You will know what the job involves and what it costs before we pick up a tool. Our work travels by word of mouth here, so we earn it every visit. We'll make your plumbing sound again.
Slow drains and full clogs are among the most common calls we get, and they rarely fix themselves. Kitchen grease, hair, soap buildup, and debris all accumulate over time. We clear bathroom drains, kitchen drains, floor drains, and main drain lines using drain snake service and hydro jetting depending on what the blockage calls for. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
A water leak left undetected can cause serious structural damage and drive up your water bill before you notice anything is wrong. We locate hidden leaks using camera inspection and video pipe inspection tools that let us see inside the line without unnecessary digging or demolition. Once we find it, we fix it cleanly and correctly. We're ready to get your drains running again.
No hot water is one of those problems that stops the day. We work on both tank and tankless water heaters, and we will give you an honest read on whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the better investment. A leaking water heater, inconsistent temperatures, or a unit that simply will not fire are all situations we handle regularly. We'll get the job plumbed and finished.
A running toilet, a dripping faucet, or a fixture that has seen better days can waste water and drive up costs over time. We handle toilet repair and replacement, kitchen and bathroom faucet installation, sink and shower and bathtub work, and garbage disposal service. We work carefully and clean up after ourselves. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we leave the space the way we found it.
Passaic County has some of the oldest housing stock in the country. That means galvanized pipe, aging cast iron, worn sewer lines, and basements that have seen a lot of water over the decades. The services below come up regularly in this area, and we handle all of them.
Galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside out. Over time it restricts water flow, discolors the water, and develops leaks that get worse rather than better. Many homes in this part of New Jersey were built with galvanized or early copper lines that are well past their useful life. Whole-home repiping replaces that old pipe throughout the house with modern copper or PEX, restoring full pressure and clean water to every fixture. If your water pressure has dropped noticeably or your tap water runs orange or brown when you first turn it on, it may be time to have the pipes evaluated. We handle galvanized pipe replacement, copper repiping, and PEX repiping for homes of all sizes.
Old clay and cast-iron sewer lines crack, shift, and collapse. Tree roots find their way in. Ground movement over decades opens joints and creates blockages that back up into the home. We service the line that runs from your house out to the municipal connection, clearing it, inspecting it with camera equipment, and replacing it when the damage is beyond repair. Trenchless sewer repair is an option on many jobs, which reduces disruption to your yard. If you are dealing with recurring sewer backups or slow drains throughout the house, a sewer line inspection is the right starting point.
Low-lying areas of Passaic County sit above a high water table, and nor'easters push water into basements that might otherwise stay dry. A working sump pump is the difference between a dry basement and a costly flood. We install, repair, and replace sump pumps, and we handle the basement plumbing repairs that often come along with water intrusion. If your pump is running constantly, failing to keep up, or has not been checked in years, call before the next storm arrives.
Getting your water flowing again is easier than you think. When a pipe bursts, a major leak appears, the hot water goes out, or a sewer backup floods the basement, you need someone on the way fast. We take those calls seriously and we move. Burst pipe repair, emergency leak repair, sewer backup response, and no-hot-water calls are all situations where we show up the same day. Work performed by licensed plumbers, seven days a week, including weekends and after hours.
Call in the morning. Flowing by afternoon. Follow-up when you need it. Reach us now at (862) 470-1789.
Not every plumber works the same way, and not every plumber knows this area the way we do. We serve Pompton Lakes and the towns around it: Riverdale, Wanaque, Bloomingdale, Butler, Oakland, Wayne, and Lincoln Park. These are the neighborhoods and streets we have worked in for generations. We know the housing stock, the water conditions, and the kinds of plumbing problems that come up most often in each community.
We work with homeowners managing a single repair, landlords keeping rental properties running, property managers coordinating across multiple units, and small businesses that cannot afford a long shutdown. Locally owned and operated plumbers who know the area and stand behind the work. We'll get the job plumbed and finished.
If you've never hired a plumber before, the pricing question is usually the first one. We give clear, straightforward estimates before any work begins. There are no surprise charges added at the end of the job and no vague ranges that leave you guessing. We tell you what the work involves, what it will cost, and what you can expect when we are done.
We are available seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays, at the same competitive rates. Whether it is a small repair or a large installation, you get the same honest approach. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we leave your home the way we found it. Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by property managers. Ready for your pipes.
We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and pipe repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposal service, shutoff valve repair, water pressure issues, and whole-home repiping. We also respond to plumbing emergencies seven days a week. If you have a plumbing problem, call (862) 470-1789 and we will tell you whether it falls within our scope.
Yes. Same-day availability is something we take seriously, particularly for urgent repairs like burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, and no-hot-water calls. We are available seven days a week, including weekends and after hours. Call (862) 470-1789 early in the day and we will do our best to get a plumber to you the same day.
When you call, we ask a few questions about the problem and get you scheduled. When the plumber arrives, they assess the situation, explain what they found, and give you a clear quote before any work begins. You approve the work before we pick up a tool, and we keep you informed if anything changes during the job.
It helps to know the general nature of the problem, where in the home it is occurring, and roughly how long it has been going on. If you have noticed any related symptoms, such as low water pressure elsewhere in the house or water stains near the affected area, mention those too. The more detail you can share, the more accurate the estimate we can give you over the phone.
Common warning signs include water that runs orange or brown when you first turn on the tap, a noticeable drop in pressure throughout the house, recurring leaks at joints or fittings, and pipes that are visibly corroded or pitted. Many homes in the Pompton Lakes area were built with galvanized steel pipe that has a finite lifespan. If you are seeing any of these signs, call us and we can assess whether a repair or a full repipe makes more sense.
Low water pressure that appeared suddenly, multiple slow or backed-up drains at the same time, water stains on ceilings or walls, a running toilet that will not stop, or a water heater that has stopped producing hot water are all situations that call for prompt attention. Waiting on these problems generally makes them worse and more expensive to fix. Call us when you first notice something is off.
Multiple drains backing up simultaneously almost always points to a blockage in the main sewer line rather than individual fixture clogs. Stop using water in the home if you can, and call us right away. This qualifies as an urgent situation, and we respond to it as such.
Yes. We work regularly with landlords and property managers who oversee single-unit rentals and multi-unit buildings throughout Pompton Lakes and the surrounding area. We understand that a plumbing problem in a rental unit affects both the tenant and the property owner, so we work efficiently, communicate clearly, and coordinate scheduling in a way that works for managed properties.
We do. We serve small commercial accounts, restaurants, office buildings, and other business properties alongside our residential customers. Work is performed by licensed plumbers on every job, and we schedule commercial calls in a way that fits around your business hours when possible.
Before any work begins, we explain what we found and what the repair involves. If the scope changes once we are into the job, we stop and tell you why before proceeding. You are never surprised by additional work or additional cost without a conversation first.
Yes, and it saves time. If you can show the plumber where the issue is located and describe what you have observed, including any sounds, smells, or visible water, they can get to the diagnosis faster. If there are related problems in other parts of the home, mention those at the start of the visit so nothing gets overlooked.

Borduin Plumbing & Heating is locally owned, and every job is handled by licensed plumbers who take the work seriously. We serve Pompton Lakes and the surrounding communities seven days a week.

| Service | What the Job Covers | Best For | Things to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Anyone noticing water stains, unexplained wet spots, or a rising water bill | Finding the leak before opening walls saves time and money; we use camera tools to pinpoint it first |
| Sump Pump & Basement Drainage |
| Homeowners in low-lying areas of Passaic County with a high water table or a history of basement flooding | A pump that runs constantly or fails to keep up during a storm needs attention before the next nor'easter arrives |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Properties with slow drains throughout the house or a history of sewer backups | Multiple slow drains at once almost always point to the main line, not individual fixtures |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where water is actively causing damage or a system has failed completely | We take emergency calls seven days a week including weekends; call early in the day for the fastest response |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| Older homes with galvanized steel lines showing corrosion, discolored water, or falling pressure | Many homes in Passaic County were built with galvanized pipe that is well past its useful life; repiping restores full pressure and clean water to every fixture |
| Sewer Line Replacement |
| Properties with recurring backups, ground settlement, or a line confirmed damaged by camera inspection | Trenchless methods are available on many jobs and significantly reduce disruption to landscaping and hardscape |
| Cast-Iron Drain Stack Replacement |
| Owners of older multi-story homes or apartment buildings with original cast-iron drain stacks | Cast-iron stacks in older Passaic County buildings often show internal corrosion and cracking long before an external leak appears |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Homeowners or tenants dealing with slow or fully blocked drains | Recurring clogs in the same drain often signal a deeper blockage or a line problem worth inspecting |
| Lead Service Line Replacement |
| Older Pompton Lakes homes with original service lines that may contain lead | New Jersey has active lead service line replacement requirements; work performed by licensed plumbers and coordinated with local code |
| Frozen Pipe Repair |
| Homeowners dealing with a pipe that has frozen or burst during a cold snap | If a pipe has frozen but not yet burst, shut off the water main and call us; acting fast often prevents the more expensive repair |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Homeowners updating fixtures or dealing with a dripping faucet that will not stop | Dripping faucets waste more water than most people expect; a replacement faucet you supply works fine or we can source one |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement |
| Homeowners with no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, or a leaking unit | Most tank water heater replacements are completed in a single visit; tankless installs may take a bit longer depending on venting |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| Any homeowner or landlord with a toilet that runs, leaks at the base, or needs replacing | A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day; most repairs are straightforward and completed same visit |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homeowners noticing weak flow at multiple fixtures or a valve that no longer closes fully | A failing pressure regulator is a common cause of sudden pressure loss in older homes and is a straightforward fix |
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or full replacement?
Age is the first factor. A tank water heater past the ten-to-twelve year mark is often better replaced than repaired, especially if it is leaking at the tank itself. If the unit is younger and the problem is a failed heating element, a bad thermostat, or a stuck valve, repair usually makes sense. We give you an honest read on both options before any work begins, and we do not push replacement when a repair is the right call.
What causes drains to back up, and when is it a main line problem?
Individual fixture clogs are usually caused by grease, hair, soap buildup, or debris accumulating in the branch drain. When a single drain is slow, it is almost always a fixture-level clog. When multiple drains in the house back up at the same time, or when flushing a toilet causes water to come up in a tub or shower, the problem is almost certainly in the main sewer line. That situation calls for a camera inspection and main line clearing, not just a drain snake at the fixture.
How do you find a hidden leak without tearing open walls?
We use camera inspection and video pipe inspection equipment that lets us see inside the line from a cleanout or access point. For supply-side leaks, we can isolate sections of the system to identify where pressure is dropping. In most cases we can locate the source before any demolition is needed, which keeps the repair smaller and the cost lower.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We take urgent calls seven days a week, including weekends. When a pipe bursts or the hot water goes out, we move fast to get a licensed plumber on the way.
What are the signs that the pipes in an older home need to be replaced?
The most common signs are water that runs orange or brown when you first open the tap, a noticeable and steady drop in pressure throughout the house, recurring leaks at joints or fittings, and visible corrosion or pitting on exposed pipe. Galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside out, so the exterior can look acceptable while the interior is heavily restricted. If you are seeing any of these signs in a home built before the 1970s, it is worth having the pipes evaluated.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it ready at all times. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it passes through the unit, so there is no storage tank and no standby heat loss. Tankless units tend to cost more upfront and require more involved installation, but they can last longer and use less energy. The right choice depends on your household's usage patterns, your available space, and your budget. We can walk you through both options when you call.
How do tree roots damage a sewer line, and what does repair involve?
Tree roots seek out moisture and can work their way into small cracks or loose joints in older clay or cast-iron sewer lines. Once inside, they grow and eventually block the line or cause it to collapse. The repair depends on how far the damage has spread. A root intrusion caught early can sometimes be cleared and the line sealed. A line with significant cracking or collapse usually needs replacement. We inspect the line with a camera before recommending a course of action.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We give you a clear quote before any work begins. You know what the job involves and what it costs before we pick up a tool, and that number does not change without a conversation first.
What should I do if my sump pump stops working?
If the pump is running but not moving water, check that the float is not stuck and that the discharge line is clear. If the pump is not running at all, check the circuit breaker first. If neither of those fixes it, call us. A sump pump failure during a storm or a period of heavy rain can lead to a flooded basement quickly, especially in the lower-lying parts of Passaic County. We handle pump repair and replacement and can often get to you the same day.
Can I be away from home while plumbing work is being done?
For most straightforward repairs and installations, yes, as long as someone over the age of 18 is present to let us in and approve the work before we begin. For larger jobs like a whole-home repipe or a sewer line replacement, it helps to have the property owner or their representative available at the start so we can walk through what the work involves and answer questions as they come up.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
We have worked on the full range of housing stock in Passaic County for decades, from homes with original galvanized pipe and cast-iron drains to newer construction with modern PEX and PVC systems.
How does your pricing and estimate process work?
We assess the situation when we arrive, explain what we found, and give you a clear quote before any work begins. You approve the work before we pick up a tool. If the scope changes once we are into the job, we stop and tell you before proceeding. There are no surprise charges added at the end and no vague ranges that leave you guessing.
When does a slow or running toilet become urgent?
A running toilet is not usually an emergency, but it is worth addressing promptly because it can waste a significant amount of water every day and drive up your bill. A toilet that is leaking at the base, rocking, or showing water damage around the floor is more urgent because water is getting where it should not be. A toilet that will not flush at all or is backing up into the bowl is a situation that calls for a same-day appointment.
How long does a whole-home repipe take?
The timeline depends on the size of the home and how the existing pipe is routed. A typical single-family home repipe takes one to three days. We work to minimize disruption and restore water service as quickly as possible during the job. We will give you a realistic timeline before work begins so you can plan accordingly.
Every property and every plumbing problem is a little different, so call us at (862) 470-1789 and we will give you a straight answer about what the work involves and what it will cost.
