Manalapan Township lies directly south of Marlboro, which puts most of it a short drive from our base. When a pipe bursts, a drain backs up or a water heater fails in Manalapan, call the emergency line at any hour and a licensed plumber is sent to your address.
Manalapan homes by era, and what each one tends to need
The township was incorporated in 1848, and Englishtown Borough sits inside it as an enclave. Most of today's housing came after 1950, with the fastest growth in the 1960s, so a large share of Manalapan houses are now 50 years old or more.
That age shows up in the plumbing. Older homes may still have original cast iron drains, aging copper or galvanized supply lines and a water heater that has been replaced two or three times. Houses built since the 1990s are more likely to have PEX supply lines and PVC drains, which age differently.
When we get a call from an older Manalapan address, we ask about the age of the house and the pipe material first. A sewer lateral that has served a home since the 1960s is worth a camera look after any backup, and our sewer inspection service is built for exactly that.

Near Monmouth Battlefield State Park
Homes on larger lots near Monmouth Battlefield State Park may have a long run from the street, which we factor into any repair.
Who supplies your water changes what we do
Manalapan is not served by one system. Depending on the street, a home may be on the township's system, on Gordon's Corner Water Company or on a private well. Your water bill tells you which, and a private well means the pump and pressure tank are your responsibility too.
In an emergency this matters. A municipal customer closes the main at the house or at the curb valve, while a well owner also needs to switch off the well pump. We walk you through both on the phone.
Before we arrive in Manalapan
Close the main shutoff
Find the valve where the line enters the house, or at the pressure tank for a well, and turn it clockwise.
Kill power to wet areas
If water reaches outlets or the water heater, shut the breaker, but only from a dry spot.
Open a low faucet
Let the lines drain to lower pressure while we travel to you.
Clear the area
Move rugs, boxes and electronics out of the path of the water, and keep children and pets away.
