Local housing stock
Pre-War and Multifamily Plumbing in Passaic Park
Passaic Park, in the southwest of the city, is one of the densest pre-war neighbourhoods in northern New Jersey, roughly 1,300 families in about two square miles, with older single-family homes, two- and three-families, and a large share of institutional buildings. Most of Passaic's housing was built before 1960, and the city ranks among the most densely populated in New Jersey (U.S. Census Bureau), so the plumbing behind these walls tends to be old, packed tight against the next building, and rarely laid out for easy access. The housing here carries scaled galvanized supply lines, corroding cast-iron waste stacks, and steam or hydronic boilers that have run for generations.
Multifamily buildings hide a specific trap. In dense pre-war multifamily, the shared vertical waste and vent stacks are the real trouble spot, so a clog or a corroded cast-iron stack affects several units at once. When one unit backs up, the fixture that's overflowing is usually not the problem, the shared stack is. We camera the full stack rather than clearing the single fixture, because clearing the symptom on the second floor does nothing for the crack or the scale two units down. That approach saves a landlord the repeat call, and it's the kind of thing a phone quote can't diagnose. For the aging risers, boilers, and sewer laterals across these buildings, we handle both the emergency and the planned replacement.
Drains & basement water
Basement Flooding and Sump Pumps in the Passaic River Basin
Much of Passaic sits in the lower Passaic River basin on a high water table, so basements take on water when the ground saturates faster than it drains. It's a flash-flood-prone corridor, and a few inches of water is enough to cause major damage to a finished basement or a mechanical room (FEMA). The main defense is a correctly sized sump pump paired with a battery backup that runs when a storm knocks out power, which is exactly when the primary pump is needed and exactly when the grid tends to fail.
A failed, undersized, or missing pump is the usual cause of a flooded Passaic basement during a storm. We size the pump to the pit and the building, install the backup, and on multifamily and institutional buildings we make sure the discharge actually clears the structure instead of recirculating. Our sump pump repair and replacement service covers the install, the swap, and the storm-season check.
Commercial & compliance
Commercial and Institutional Plumbing, and Backflow Compliance
Passaic's landlords, property managers, and institutional buildings need more than a fixture fix, they need a plumber who handles documentation and compliance. Maccabi serves multifamily and commercial properties across the city, from tenant emergencies to boilers, sewer laterals, and scheduled maintenance that keeps small problems from becoming after-hours ones.
Backflow is where compliance gets real. Testable backflow prevention devices must be tested each year by an NJDEP-certified tester, and the resulting Certificate of Compliance has to be filed with the town. On institutional buildings we build the annual backflow test into a schedule so a Certificate of Compliance never lapses, because a lapsed certificate is a paperwork emergency nobody wants during an inspection. That matters most for the multifamily, institutional, and commercial buildings that fill neighbourhoods like Passaic Park. See our backflow testing and certification service and our full commercial and multifamily plumbing scope.

We scope honestly, invoice clearly, and stand behind the work we do.
Your water & your code office
Passaic's Water Utility and the Permit Path
Passaic co-owns the Passaic Valley Water Commission with Paterson and Clifton, and holds a direct 10.34 mgd allocation from the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission on top of that (NJDEP 2024 Statewide Water Supply Plan). PVWC issues the meter rules, the cross-connection program and the annual backflow notices.
That last one lands hardest on Passaic's building stock. The Passaic Park two-family and multi-family homes, the Main Avenue storefronts and any building with a boiler loop or an irrigation line are the connections PVWC wants a tested device on. A notice with a date on it is the annual test coming due, and the certificate goes back to PVWC, not into a drawer.
City hall handles the other half. The NJ Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23) requires a licensed plumber to pull the permit and a municipal inspector to pass the work on water heaters, boilers, sewer lines and gas piping. For a landlord with tenants in the building, an unpermitted repair is the kind of thing that surfaces at the worst moment, during a sale or an insurance claim.

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.
