The pro near Fair Lawn.

NJ

For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Post-war colonials and capes define Fair Lawn, where about nine in ten homes predate 1980 and the median build year is 1953. The borough is full of them, with original galvanized lines, cast-iron stacks, and finished basements that hide both. Nearly eight in ten households own. Freeze-thaw winters are hard on pipes and masonry, summer storms find weak flashing, and the basements common here turn a heavy rain into a wet-vac afternoon. Older owners often know exactly which wall the main shutoff hides behind.

What that means for a call

With a median build year of 1953 and about 88% of homes standing before 1980, Fair Lawn has a lot of housing that predates modern shutoffs, wiring, and drain materials. That does not mean every repair is a system replacement, but the age of the house is worth mentioning on the call.

Local watch-outs

  • Know where the main water shutoff is before a pipe freezes. During a deep freeze, open the cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let a faucet trickle.
  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear before storm season. If water reaches an outlet or a panel, stop and call an electrician rather than resetting the breaker.
  • Check the basement or crawlspace after heavy rain. Most seepage starts at a wall joint, a window well, or a downspout that dumps too close to the foundation.
  • Clear snow from vents, gutters, and the areas around exterior equipment. Do not bury a gas meter, and keep the furnace exhaust and intake clear.
