East Brunswick homes face a range of plumbing challenges depending on age and construction. From 1960s splits in Dunhams Corner to newer builds along Cranbury Road, here are the issues our East Brunswick plumbers see most often on emergency calls and service visits.

• Aging Water Heaters: Many East Brunswick homes still run on 12 to 18 year old tank water heaters past their service life. Watch for signs your water heater is dying and consider upgrading to a more efficient tankless water heater.
• Corroded Galvanized Pipes: Homes built in the 1960s and 70s often still have original galvanized steel supply pipes that corrode from the inside out, causing low water pressure and rusty water. Whole-house repiping with PEX or copper is the permanent fix.
• Polybutylene Piping: Some 1980s and early 1990s East Brunswick builds used polybutylene, which is now known to fail. If your home has gray plastic supply lines, replacement is strongly recommended.
• Hard Water Buildup: Central NJ water is moderately hard. This causes mineral buildup in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures over time. A water filtration system or softener can protect your plumbing.
• Boiler Maintenance: Many East Brunswick homes rely on gas or oil boilers for heat. Regular annual maintenance prevents no-heat calls and keeps efficiency high through NJ winters.
• Frozen Pipes in Winter: Exterior walls in older East Brunswick homes and uninsulated basements can freeze in January and February cold snaps. Preventive insulation is always cheaper than repair.
