DetailsCommon Plumbing Problems in Clifton
Aging sewer laterals
In older Clifton housing, an aging sewer lateral can develop cracks, root intrusion, or settled joints. Repeated backups warrant a camera inspection before deciding whether clearing, a spot repair, or replacement is appropriate.
Cast iron drain lines
Older homes in areas such as Allwood and Athenia may still have cast iron drains. Internal corrosion can restrict flow, while leaks at joints can damage walls or ceilings; the condition of the pipe matters as much as the clog.
Shared lines and recurring clogs
Multi-unit buildings around Botany Village and Lakeview can have several fixtures feeding a common drain. When multiple sinks or tubs back up together, stop using water and have the shared line checked rather than treating each fixture separately.
Old shutoff valves and fixture leaks
A seized shutoff or worn faucet connection can turn a small repair into an urgent leak. A plumber can assess older valves and supply piping before installing a new fixture.

Had a plumbing issue at a rental property in New Brunswick and On Tap made the whole process really easy. They connected me with a plumber quickly, communication was good, and the issue was taken care of without any hassle.

I contacted On Tap Plumbing in New Brunswick because my water heater kept running out of hot water. They identified a faulty heating element and replaced it. Ive had consistent hot water ever since.
The technician, Andy, did a great job installing my new faucet! Clean work, wasn’t overcharged, and they came the next day after I called. Highly recommend On Tap Plumbing, best plumbers in New Brunswick!
