Plumbing in New Jersey

New Jersey's older industrial cities, including Newark, Trenton, and Camden, still have a meaningful number of lead service lines connecting older homes to the municipal water main, a legacy of housing built well before lead pipe was phased out, and several of these cities have run multi year programs to identify and replace them. Beyond the service line issue, much of New Jersey's dense prewar housing stock, especially two and three family homes and older apartment buildings, still carries original cast iron drain lines and galvanized steel supply pipes well past their expected lifespan, leading to slow drains, corrosion, and reduced water pressure as the interior of the pipe narrows with buildup. New Jersey requires plumbing work to be performed under a licensed master plumber, regulated through the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers, with apprentices and journeymen working under that oversight. Between legacy lead lines and aging cast iron and galvanized systems, a lot of New Jersey plumbing work centers on replacing infrastructure installed generations ago.
