Answered all my questions. Fixed two problems that would have gotten worse day by day.
Michael O., Thumbtack review
I will never ever not hire a fully licensed and insured plumber for such important jobs.
Kari A., Thumbtack review
Tap your problem. Red ones mean call now. The rest open a quick guide: what to try, and when to stop and call.
A dripping trap is a weekend problem. Water through the ceiling is a right-now problem. Either way, you want someone who explains the problem and fixes it properly.
Plumbing Doctor is owned by Mike Holt, a Marine Corps veteran and NJ Master Plumber with 25 years in the trade. Our team works out of Somerset, NJ and knows the cast-iron stacks, old galvanized lines and sump pits of Central Jersey homes.
Drains, water heaters, leaks, sewer lines and the jobs in between, for homes and businesses across Central New Jersey.
Kitchen, tub or the basement floor drain. Snaked or jetted, then camera-checked if it keeps coming back.
Fix my drain
No hot water, a leaking tank or a pilot that won't stay lit. Tank heaters up to 50 gallons, repaired or replaced. Tankless: diagnostics, repairs and maintenance only.
Fix my hot water
Ceiling stains, wet drywall, a pipe that froze. We find it, fix it and tell you what caused it.
Fix my leak
Backups in the lowest drain, gurgling toilets, roots. A camera inspection may be recommended where conditions warrant.
Fix my sewer line
Running toilets, weak flush, faucet swaps, garbage disposals. Small jobs done right.
Fix my toilet
Tested before the spring rain, replaced before it fails, battery backup if you lose power.
Check my sump
Range and dryer lines, pressure tested and to code. Smell gas? Leave the house and call 911 and your gas company from outside.

Pipes pick bad times to fail: the night before a holiday, the morning of a showing, two in the morning in January. If water is flooding your home and you can't find the shutoff valve, that's an emergency: call 908-873-6686, day or night.
Every job is done under NJ Master Plumber license #36BI01345600, by our own team, not subcontractors.
We respond immediately to calls and online inquiries. Same-day appointments may be available, subject to technician availability and scheduling.
Shoe covers, drop cloths, and the work area is cleaner than before.

Most of our work comes from neighbors and repeat customers. We'd rather fix a problem once and explain how to keep it from coming back than sell you a job you don't need.

Plain answers from a master plumber. Some of these you can handle in ten minutes. Each guide tells you exactly when to stop and pick up the phone.
Every adult in the house should know where it is before something bursts.
Check the disposal, plug the other side, plunge, then clean the trap under the sink.
Stop the water first, then use a flange plunger the right way. Most clogs clear in a few minutes.
White crust on faucets and spots on glasses often point to hard water. We install and service softeners and filters.
Shut outdoor spigots, open sink cabinets on exterior walls and maintain adequate heat. A thermostat setting alone doesn't prevent every freeze.
Gurgling drains, a sewage smell, water in the basement floor drain.

Found my outdoor cleanout that was covered up for years and no other company could find! … They use drop cloths and clean up when they are done.
Shut off the water first if you can reach the valve safely, then call us, day or night.
