Plumbing & Heating in Clifton
Clifton's older sections hide plumbing that is a century old behind the walls, and that is exactly the work we know. Botany Village on the east side and Athenia around Van Houten Avenue are full of early-1900s American Foursquares, Queen Annes, and Colonial Revivals, which means galvanized supply lines, cast-iron waste laterals, and aging boilers under a lot of those floors. Maccabi Plumbing & Heating is a licensed NJ plumber serving Clifton and all of Passaic County, dispatched from our West Orange base about nine miles away. We hold NJ Master Plumber License #13345, we are bonded and insured, and we answer 24 hours a day. If you need a real Clifton plumber who understands these homes, call (908) 376-9159.

What we do here
Our Plumbing & Heating Services in Clifton
Maccabi Plumbing & Heating is a licensed, insured NJ plumber (#13345) serving Clifton and Passaic County with the full residential and light-commercial menu, 24 hours a day Monday through Saturday. That covers drain cleaning, sewer line repair, water heaters, boilers, sump pumps, leak detection, and burst-pipe emergencies.
The work in Clifton splits along the age of the housing. West of Main, in Botany and Athenia, the calls lean toward repiping, drain backups, and heating on systems installed before most of us were born. Out in Allwood and the newer Delawanna pockets, it is more standard fixture, water-heater, and pressure work. Either way, one licensed contractor handles the whole job instead of subbing out the heating.

Older-Home Plumbing in Botany Village & Athenia
The most common complaint we get from Botany and Athenia homeowners is low water pressure everywhere in the house, and the culprit is almost always the original galvanized supply piping. Galvanized steel scales shut from the inside over decades. The interior diameter shrinks until a three-quarter-inch pipe flows like a straw, and no amount of cleaning faucets or swapping aerators brings the pressure back.
Here is the honest part most companies skip. We put a gauge on the line and show you the actual reading before we recommend anything. If the static pressure is fine but drops hard the moment two fixtures run, that is a supply-line restriction, not a city-water problem, and the real fix is usually a partial or whole-house repipe from galvanized to copper or PEX. We would rather show you the numbers than sell you a guess. Alongside the supply side, the cast-iron waste stacks and laterals in these homes corrode and root over, so slow drains and repeat backups often trace to the same era of pipe. Our drain, sewer and pump services cover both the diagnosis and the repair, and our NJ repipe cost page lays out how we scope that work.
Drains & basement water
Basement Flooding & Sump Pumps in Lakeview & the Passaic Basin
Lakeview, on the low-lying Clifton and Passaic border near the lower Passaic River basin, sits on a high water table and takes on water when the ground saturates. In this pocket a basement floods in a hard rain even though nothing is broken upstairs.
A properly sized sump pump is the main defense, and in a flood-prone pocket like this we push for a battery backup, because the storms that flood a basement are the same storms that knock the power out. FEMA notes that just a few inches of water in a basement can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage, so the backup is cheap insurance against the one night the grid goes down. Our sump pump repair and replacement service sizes the pump to the pit and the incoming water, not to whatever the last owner happened to install.
When it can't wait
24-Hour Emergency Plumber in Clifton
When a pipe bursts, the heat quits, or a sewage line backs up, Maccabi answers 24 hours a day Monday through Saturday, and a person picks up, not a voicemail box.
We are closed Sunday. For emergencies, from Botany to Allwood, our 24-hour emergency plumber service is the line to call.
Hot water & heat
Water Heaters & Heating in Clifton
Clifton's older homes run some of the oldest heating in the county, from steam boilers with original piping to hydronic systems that have been patched for decades. We install and service high-efficiency tankless units and combi-boilers as well as repair the old workhorses. When a boiler is short-cycling or a radiator has gone cold on one floor, the question is usually whether the zone valve, the circulator, or the boiler itself is the weak link, and that takes a look, not a phone guess.
On the hot-water side, tank water heaters generally last 8 to 12 years (U.S. Department of Energy), and a lot of Clifton basements are running units well past that. Our water heater repair and replacement service covers both, and if you want a straight number, the NJ water heater replacement cost page shows how we present real ranges.
Why Maccabi
Why Clifton Homeowners Choose Maccabi
We are a licensed NJ master plumber (#13345), bonded and insured, with a 4.9-star rating across 238 Google reviews. Owner Morey Katzourin is a NJ Master Plumber with more than 15 years of hands-on experience, and the company has served northern New Jersey since 2019.
What sets the Clifton work apart is the diagnosis-first approach. In these older neighborhoods it is easy to sell a homeowner a repipe or a boiler they may not need yet. We put a gauge on the pressure and a camera down the sewer before we quote, so the recommendation matches what the house actually needs. On sewer work specifically, NJ American Water and NJDEP guidance make the property owner responsible for the lateral from the house to the main, so when that line fails it is your repair, not the utility's.

Your water & your code office
Your Water Comes From PVWC, and Your Permit Comes From City Hall
Clifton is a co-owner of the Passaic Valley Water Commission, along with Paterson and Passaic. PVWC treats water at the Little Falls plant and supplies roughly 310,000 people across the three cities (NJDEP 2024 Statewide Water Supply Plan, Appendix B). Being an owner city rather than a wholesale customer means Clifton's meter and cross-connection rules come straight from PVWC.
For a homeowner that is mostly invisible until something needs certifying. Annual backflow notices on Botany Village storefronts, Athenia two-family conversions and any lawn irrigation system arrive from PVWC with a due date, and the passing certificate has to go back to PVWC. We test, repair and file it.
Permits are Clifton's own. Under the NJ Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23), a licensed plumber pulls the permit for water heater, boiler, sewer and gas work, and the city inspector signs it off. On a Lakeview basement where a sump discharge and a sewer repair land in the same trench, having one contractor manage the permit and the inspection saves a second visit.

Maccabi gave me quick, professional service when I needed our water heater replaced. The office gave me different options to consider, and a time window for when the workers would arrive. The workers were respectful, updated us on how the work was going, and cleaned up everything. We were very happy with all aspects of service.
Maccabi replied to my inquiry right away, and was able to come replace my broken water heater within 24 hours. Everyone was professional and very friendly. Price was reasonable. I'm happy with the work!
Needed to remedy a leak pouring from my dining room ceiling suddenly. I called Maccabi and they immediately sent someone who diagnosed and resolved the issue. I would definitely recommend them. They are a pleasure to deal with.
