Why Bergen County Deserves Its Own Plumbing Hub Page
Bergen County at a Glance
Bergen County is New Jersey’s most populous county, home to approximately 955,732 residents as of 2020, with steady growth to around 954,700–955,000 in 2023–2024. It sits in the heart of the New York metro area, blending suburban comfort with global diversity. Bergen features high-income households (median household income ~$123,700 in 2023) and a multilingual population comprising White, Asian, Hispanic, and Black communities—making it one of its most cosmopolitan counties
A County Steeped in History
Originally settled by Dutch colonists in the 1600s, Bergen Square in present-day Hackensack is known as one of the oldest continuously settled areas in New Jersey. Many local buildings still feature Dutch Colonial architecture, and the county was officially recognized as “Bergen County” in 1683. Being part of a region with centuries of growth helps explain the variety of old and newer infrastructures our plumbers encounter.
Common Plumbing Challenges for Bergen County Homes
Historic Homes & Aging Infrastructure
Many Bergen County homes—especially in towns like Ridgewood, Closter, and Hackensack—were constructed in the early 20th century. Older plumbing materials such as cast-iron, lead, galvanized steel, and early copper are still present in many basements and bathrooms. These pipes are prone to corrosion, leaks, and water contamination and often need upgrading with modern materials like PEX or new copper lines
Water Quality Concerns Across the County
Municipal water systems in Bergen face challenges with hard water, high chlorine levels, and residual lead traces, especially in older neighborhoods near older infrastructure. These issues can increase wear on fixtures and compromise water quality over time
Seasonal Weather & Infrastructure Stress
Bergen County experiences full seasons—from freezing winter temperatures that expose pipes to freeze/thaw cycles, to humid and hot summers that place strain on cooling systems and cause shifting in old pipework. This seasonal stress often leads to cracked or clogged drains, frozen line leaks, and routine emergency callouts.

Fair Lawn is similarly diverse, with over 50 languages spoken and longstanding Russian‑Jewish communities. That means our plumbers are equipped to serve multilingual families and businesses with nuanced understanding of local habits and expectations.
