Plumbing in Monroe Township
Monroe Township in Middlesex County had 5,831 people in 1960 and 48,594 in 2020. It became more suburban after Turnpike Exit 8A opened in the 1960s, alongside the development that is now Rossmoor. It grew in stages, so homes in one part of town can be decades older than homes in another. Contact us to confirm whether your job site is within our current service area.
Rossmoor, Clearbrook and the 55+ communities
Construction at Rossmoor picked up in late 1966, and the community now has about 2,303 residences. Clearbrook, Concordia, Whittingham, Stonebridge and others came after it. In a community like these, a leaking water heater or a running toilet can reach the unit next door, so it pays to know where your shut-off is. If your association handles some plumbing itself, check with it before you book.
Your water
The Monroe Township Utility Department supplies water from nine groundwater wells. Its yearly report notes that it can't control the materials used in your home's plumbing, which is the part we work on. If you're on township water and see scale or spots, we can look at it and tell you whether a softener or filter makes sense.
