Emergency Plumber in Clifton, NJ
Maccabi Plumbing & Heating answers emergency plumbing calls in Clifton, NJ, 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday. When a supply line lets go in an Athenia foursquare or a sump pump quits during a Passaic River basin storm, a licensed NJ plumber (License #13345) picks up the phone, not a call center in another state. We tell you the trip fee before we roll, quote the repair before we touch it, and we are bonded and insured. Clifton's early-1900s housing stock and low-lying, flood-prone sections keep us busy with burst pipes, no-heat calls, and basement backups. Call (908) 376-9159 now.

Maccabi Plumbing & Heating provides 24-hour emergency plumbing in Clifton, NJ. A licensed NJ Master Plumber (#13345) answers day or night, Monday through Saturday, for burst pipes, no water, no heat, and sewage backups. We are dispatched from West Orange, roughly 15 minutes out via Route 3.
We are open around the clock and closed Sunday. If you reach us during those hours, a real plumber talks you through the shutoff and gets a truck moving. That is the whole promise. A person, not a voicemail, and a price you hear before the work starts. For the full scope of our 24-hour emergency plumbing service, see the main service page, or read up on our regular plumber in Clifton, NJ coverage.
When it can't wait
Plumbing Emergencies We Handle in Clifton
These are the calls that cannot wait until morning, and the ones we take most often in Clifton
- Burst or frozen pipes. Botany Village and Athenia are full of homes still running galvanized supply lines in uninsulated wall cavities. They freeze, they split, and they flood a ceiling fast.
- No heat. An aging boiler that locks out on a cold night, especially in the older two- and three-families off Van Houten Avenue.
- Sewage backup. A blocked or collapsed cast-iron lateral pushing waste back up a basement drain. This is a health hazard, not a mop-up job.
- Water heater flooding. A tank that splits and dumps 40 or 50 gallons across a utility room floor.
- Sump pump failure. Common in Lakeview and the low sections near the river when a storm overwhelms an undersized or unbacked-up pump.
- Gas smell. Leave the house first, call the gas utility, then call us.
Why Maccabi
Why Clifton Homeowners Call Maccabi
We are a licensed NJ Master Plumber (#13345), bonded and insured, rated 4.9 stars across 238 Google reviews. We work Clifton constantly, so we know the housing stock. The galvanized supply in the pre-war stock, the cast-iron laterals under the old two-families, the boilers that quit first when the temperature drops. New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code (NJ Department of Community Affairs) requires a licensed, permitted plumber for real repairs, and that is exactly what shows up. No handyman, no bait price.
Pricing, explained
Emergency Plumbing Costs in Clifton
Emergency plumbing in NJ starts with a trip and diagnostic fee, and we state that number when you call, before anyone is dispatched. Once a plumber sees the failure, you get a quoted price before the work begins. There is no surprise bill invented at 2am.
What the repair itself runs depends on the failure. A frozen pipe that split behind drywall is a different job from a backed-up main sewer lateral, so an honest number only comes after we look. For typical ranges on common jobs, see our NJ plumbing pricing guide. A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons per hour, and pipes are at high risk of freezing when temperatures fall below 20°F (Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety and the American Red Cross), so the faster you shut off and call, the smaller the repair.

Before we arrive
What to Do Right Now, Before We Reach Clifton
Shut the water off first. Everything else is secondary. Here is the order that limits the damage
- 01
Find the main shutoff
On most Clifton homes it is where the water line enters the basement, usually near the front foundation wall by the meter.
- 02
If the interior valve will not turn, go to the curb valve
Old Clifton houses often have a seized interior gate valve. There is a second shutoff at the street, the curb stop, under a small metal cap in the sidewalk or lawn. A curb key or a long screwdriver and a wrench will turn it a quarter turn to off.
- 03
For a burst or frozen pipe,
open a nearby faucet after shutting off to relieve pressure, and move valuables away from the water.
- 04
For no heat in a freeze,
let a couple of faucets drip so the remaining lines do not freeze while you wait.
- 05
For a sewage backup,
stay out of the contaminated water and keep everyone clear until we arrive.
- 06
For a gas smell,
get everyone outside, do not flip switches, and call the gas company, then us.
Most Clifton competitors give you a phone number and nothing else. Knowing where your curb valve is can save a finished basement before our truck even turns onto your street.
