What Drain, Sewer & Pump Services Cover
A single slow sink is usually a local clog. When two or three drains back up at once, or the basement floor drain burbles during a storm, the problem has moved to your main line or your pump, and that is a different job. Maccabi Plumbing & Heating is a licensed NJ plumber (Master Plumber #13345) handling the whole chain of drain and sewer service in NJ. Snaked kitchen drains, hydro-jetted main lines, cracked cast-iron laterals, and dead sump pumps at 2am. We run a camera before we quote a dig, so you see the actual pipe. We answer 24 hours Monday through Saturday across northern New Jersey.
Call 24-hour (908) 376-9159
Drain and sewer service in NJ covers everything that carries water away from your house. Interior drains, the sewer lateral that runs to the town main, and the pumps that lift water and waste out of a basement. Maccabi handles all three, from a clogged tub to a collapsed pipe under the front yard.

24-Hour Emergency Backups & Flooding
If a drain is actively backing up or the basement is taking on water, shut off the fixtures feeding the problem, keep people away from contaminated water, and call. Maccabi answers 24 hours Monday through Saturday, so a emergency reaches a person, not a machine. On a sewage backup, stop running water through the house (every flush adds to what is coming back up) and get us on the line.
We are closed Sunday. For emergencies, day or night, we are the call.

Signs You Have a Drain or Sewer Problem
The clearest signs of a failing main line are several drains acting up at once, not one fixture. Watch for these
- Multiple slow drains at once (sinks, tub, and toilet all sluggish)
- A toilet that gurgles or bubbles when you run the washing machine or a sink
- Sewage odor near a floor drain or in the yard
- Water backing up into a tub, shower, or basement floor drain
- A soggy or unusually green patch in the lawn over the sewer line
- Recurring backups every spring, common with older Clifton and West Orange homes
One slow drain is local, and a snake usually clears it. When the whole house is affected, the trouble is downstream in the lateral, where a camera earns its keep before anyone quotes a replacement.
How the job runs
How We Diagnose. Camera Inspection First
We put a CCTV camera down the line before recommending any dig. That single step separates an honest quote from a guess, telling us whether you have a soft problem or a structural one, and those two lead to very different bills.
A soft problem is grease buildup or fine roots feeding in through a joint. You jet it, maybe set up a maintenance schedule, and it holds. A structural problem is a bellied section that pools water, an offset joint where the pipe has shifted, or 60-year-old cast iron that has scaled shut or cracked. Jetting will never fix that, and a camera shows it plainly.
This matters because most outfits quote a full replacement off the symptom alone. Often the damage is one bad joint, and a spot repair costs a fraction of a whole new line.

Drain Cleaning. Snaking vs Hydro Jetting
The right tool depends on what is blocking the pipe. A cable snake (auger) punches through a local clog, a wad of wipes, or a hairball in a bathroom branch. It clears the path fast and is the correct call for most single-fixture stoppages.
Hydro jetting is high-pressure water that scours the full diameter of the pipe. It is what you want on grease-lined kitchen lines and on main lines where fine roots have taken hold. Tree-root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer-line blockage and damage, according to EPA sewer guidance, and mature street trees along older northern-NJ blocks push roots straight into clay-jointed and cast-iron laterals. Jetting cuts them back. On a line that keeps clogging, we jet, then camera it to see whether roots are the whole story or a symptom of a cracked joint.
Drains & basement water
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement. Trenchless vs Open-Cut
Once the camera confirms structural damage, the decision is repair, trenchless, or open-cut, and the pipe's condition makes that call for us. Here is the plain version
| Method | When it fits | What it means for your yard |
|---|---|---|
| Spot repair | One bad joint or a short cracked section | Small dig at the fault, minimal disruption |
| Trenchless lining/bursting | Pipe is intact enough to line or pull through | Little to no trenching, two access pits |
| Open-cut replacement | Line is collapsed, badly offset, or fully failed | Excavation along the run |
Trenchless works only where the pipe's condition and layout allow it. A fully collapsed or badly misaligned lateral still needs excavation, so we don't promise trenchless before seeing the footage. Pre-1950 housing stock in Botany Village and older Essex colonials still runs cast-iron laterals that scale, crack, and open the door to roots.
One thing many homeowners never hear. In New Jersey you own the sewer lateral from your house to the town main. Per NJ American Water's guidance on customer service lines, that stretch is the property owner's responsibility, not the utility's or the town's, so a lateral repair is your cost. Excavation and lateral work is permitted under the NJ Uniform Construction Code, and we pull permits where the job requires them.

Sump Pumps & Sewage Ejector Pumps
These two pumps get confused constantly, and they are not interchangeable. A sump pump moves clean groundwater out of a basement pit so the floor stays dry. A sewage ejector pump moves wastewater and solids up from a basement bathroom or laundry that sits below the main sewer line. Different water, different job, different pump.
Sump pumps carry most of the storm-season load in northern NJ. Low-lying, high-water-table sections along the lower Passaic River basin, Lakeview on the Clifton and Passaic border, and parts of Rutherford take on water when the ground saturates faster than it can drain. FEMA notes that even a few inches of basement water can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage, which is why a working pump with a battery backup matters most when the power goes out in a storm. A failed or undersized pump is the usual reason a basement floods during heavy rain. We size, install, and service both pump types, and recommend a backup on any pit protecting finished space.

Call or Text (908) 376-9159The clearest signs are multiple slow drains at once, a gurgling toilet, sewage odor, water backing up into a tub or floor drain, and a soggy patch in the yard. One slow drain is usually local. Several at once points to the main line. In NJ's older homes, recurring backups often mean roots in a cast-iron lateral. A camera inspection confirms the cause before any digging.
