When the cold hits: winter plumbing in Colts Neck
A long driveway and a big lot mean a pipe that freezes can go unnoticed. Exterior wall supply lines, garage hose bibs and lines to a barn or pool house are the usual casualties when a hard freeze hits.
If your home has a private well, a cold night can also take down the pressure tank or the pump house. Know where the well pump switch is and how to turn it off, then call us. See burst pipe repair for the first three steps.
Before we arrive in Colts Neck
Shut off the well pump
If you are on a well, switch off the pump at its breaker, then close the valve at the pressure tank.
Close the house main
Turn the main valve clockwise so no water moves through the house.
Protect the septic
Stop using water in the house while we travel, so a backup does not worsen.
Mark the driveway
Leave gates open and clear snow or ice so our van can reach the house.
Long driveways, short wait for an answer

Septic systems and who to call
Colts Neck's Health Department permits and inspects septic systems, and you can reach it at (732) 462-5470 at 1 Veterans Way. If sewage is backing up, the cause might be the house drain, the line to the tank or the tank itself.
We start in the house with a cable and camera to see whether the blockage is in the pipe. If the camera shows the line is clear to the tank, we tell you so, and a septic professional takes it from there. See sewer line cleaning for how we clear house side blockages.

Colts Neck housing and what it means
The township developed mostly after the 1950s. Colonials and ranches on acre lots came through the 1970s, and larger estate homes followed. Each generation has its own pipe materials, and well fed homes rely on pressure tanks and pumps that wear out.
That is why we ask about the water source on the first call. A house on public water and a house on a well are different plumbing problems, even when the symptom is the same.
