Montclair’s historic Victorian and Craftsman homes are among the most architecturally distinct in Essex County, but their original plumbing systems were never designed to last more than a century. Lead service lines, clay sewer laterals, and cast iron drain stacks are common in homes built before 1940 and require experienced hands to service correctly. Titanium Plumbing & Heating brings licensed plumbing expertise to Montclair homeowners dealing with aging infrastructure, with fully stocked vans and same-day availability when the job can’t wait.
The character of Montclair’s older homes comes with real plumbing challenges. Aging clay sewer laterals collapse under tree root pressure. Galvanized service lines corrode internally. Decades-old drain systems back up without much warning. Titanium identifies the root cause and repairs it to code on the first visit.
Renovating a Victorian or colonial in Montclair means navigating unusual wall configurations, balloon framing, and drain locations that don’t match modern standards.

Montclair homeowners dealing with a plumbing issue don’t want a partial fix.
