Our standard
No substitution
for experience.
North Jersey houses fail in their own particular ways. Galvanized supply lines close up from the inside, cast iron waste rusts through at the hub, boilers get added onto by three contractors who never spoke to each other, and half the basements in these towns take water the same week every spring. We look at the whole system rather than the one fixture you called about, price the work on paper before anything is opened, and do it to New Jersey plumbing code.

Why North Jersey calls us
Licensed New Jersey plumbing and heating contractor, fully insured. Serving Bergen, Passaic and Hudson counties since 1982.
A contractor you only have to call once
- Family owned, same name on the truck
- Run by the Faulborn family out of Dumont, trading as Bob Faulborn Plumbing & Heating Contractor. Over forty years in the same towns means we have been inside most of these houses before.
- Plumbing and heating together
- A leaking supply line in the morning and a boiler that will not fire in the afternoon. You are not calling two different trades to sort out one basement.
- Answered 24 hours
- A burst pipe, no heat in January, a sewer backup or a sump that quit mid storm. Those calls do not wait for business hours and neither do we.
- Free on new installations
- Boilers, water heaters, conversions and bathroom renovations quoted as a written scope rather than a lump number, so you can see what is included.
- Bathrooms from design to completion
- The part of a remodel that can flood your house is done by the plumbing contractor you hired, not subbed out to whoever was available.
- New Jersey plumbing code
- Licensed New Jersey plumbing and heating contractor, fully insured. Permits pulled and inspections walked through, because that is also what gets the job signed off the first time.

How service works
From your call to a working system
- 01
Diagnose
Supply, drain, venting and the heating loop checked in order rather than guessing at the obvious part. What we find gets written down so the next call starts with real history.
02Explain
You see what we found and the price beside it before anything is opened up. When a repair is close to a replacement, both numbers go on the same page.
- 03
Repair
The truck carries what actually fails in these houses: shutoff and zone valves, circulators, supply lines, traps, fittings, thermocouples, pumps and check valves.
04Verify
Lines pressure checked, drains run under full flow, heat brought up on every zone, inspection walked through where it applies, and the space left dry and clean.
Customer reviews
What people say after the truck leaves
Comments from homeowners across the three counties we cover.
“A pipe let go in the basement ceiling on a Sunday night. Woody had someone here, water shut down and the line repaired, and he did not charge me like it was a holdup.”
“Two other outfits told me the boiler was finished. Woody found a stuck zone valve, replaced it for a fraction of what a boiler costs, and the upstairs has been warm for three winters.”
Rich A. — Bergenfield, NJ
“They took our only bathroom down to the studs and put it back better than the rest of the house. What sold me was that they fixed the drain venting nobody else even mentioned.”
Marisol P. — Teaneck, NJ
“Converted us off oil last fall. The gas boiler was sized properly instead of just matching the old one, and the house is warmer on less fuel than it ever was.”
Ken S. — New Milford, NJ
“Sump quit in the middle of a storm and the water was already coming up. They replaced the pump and the check valve the same night and the basement has stayed dry since.”
Anthony V. — Clifton, NJ
On the record
Somebody answers at 2 am. The truck carries what actually fails here. The price is on paper before the work starts. Since 1982.
Service area
North Jersey, three counties deep
We work out of Dumont, covering Bergen, Passaic and Hudson counties, from the older streets of eastern Bergen out to the row houses of Hudson County.
Core coverage: Dumont, Bergenfield, New Milford, Teaneck, Englewood, Hackensack, Paramus, Clifton, Paterson and Jersey City.
Dumont, NJ
Home base, and the housing stock we know best. Pre war colonials and capes with galvanized supply lines, cast iron waste stacks and boilers that have been added onto twice, so a repair call here often turns into a conversation about what the pipe is actually made of.
Bergenfield & New Milford, NJ
Next door, minutes away, and much the same vintage of house. Steam and hot water heating on the older streets, plus a steady run of bathroom renovations in homes where the only full bath has never been touched since it was built.
Teaneck & Englewood, NJ
Larger older homes with multiple bathrooms and multi zone heating, which is where zone valves, circulators and unbalanced systems show up most. Oil to gas conversions are common here on houses that still have a tank in the basement.
Hackensack & Paramus, NJ
A mix of older housing and post war construction along the county corridor. Water heater replacements, main line backups and sump work after heavy rain make up most of what we do on this side of the county.
Passaic County, NJ
Clifton, Paterson, Passaic and the towns around them. Older multi family and two family houses where drain lines, shared stacks and aging boilers do most of the failing, and where getting the diagnosis right the first time matters more than speed.
Hudson County, NJ
Jersey City, North Bergen, Union City and the row house streets between them. Narrow lots, below grade bathrooms on ejector pumps and long vertical stacks, so drain and pump work is the bulk of the calls down here.
Questions
Before you book
