Calling a plumber doesn't have to be stressful, and with Camden Plumbing Company, it won't be. We handle plumbing repair and installation for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses throughout Camden and Camden County. Whether the job is a dripping faucet, a full repipe, or a sewer line that needs replacing, we scope the work on the call and give you a price before anything is scheduled. Repairs and repipes in these neighborhoods are familiar ground. We're open seven days a week, from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM, so you're not waiting until Monday to get answers. Dripping faucet fixed. Slow drain cleared. Water flowing right.
Good plumbing work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and that's the standard we hold on every callout. From a clogged kitchen drain to a water heater that stopped producing, we handle the everyday plumbing that homes and commercial properties in Camden depend on.
A slow or clogged drain rarely clears itself. We clear clogs in sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, and main lines, and we use hydro jetting for stubborn grease or mineral buildup that a standard snake won't touch. Restaurants, office buildings, and multi-unit properties have their own drain demands, and we handle commercial drain cleaning with the same approach: find the blockage, clear it completely, and confirm the line is flowing before we leave.
A leak inside a wall or ceiling can cause real damage before it's visible. We use pressure testing and electronic detection methods to locate the source without opening up more of the structure than necessary. The cause is found before anything is replaced. From supply line joints to water lines running under the yard, we trace the problem and repair it at the source rather than guessing.
No hot water is one of those problems that stops a household or a business in its tracks. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and we handle new installations when a unit reaches the end of its useful life. For apartments and office buildings with higher demand, we size and install commercial water heaters built for the load. We also install expansion tanks where the system requires one. Call and we'll get the water running right.
A running toilet wastes water and adds to the bill every day it runs. A dripping faucet does the same. We repair, replace, and install toilets, faucets, hose bibs, and outdoor spigots, and we handle full fixture installation in bathrooms and kitchens. Under-sink plumbing, garbage disposal repair, and garbage disposal replacement all fall under the same call. Tell us what's happening and we'll tell you what it takes to fix it.
Low water pressure can point to a pressure reducing valve that's failing, a partially closed shutoff, or a supply line problem somewhere in the system. We diagnose the cause rather than guessing, then repair or replace the valve that's creating the issue. Shutoff valve replacement and backflow preventer installation are part of this work. A system that holds the right pressure throughout the house is the goal.
We service the domestic gas supply lines that feed appliances in a home or building. That means repairing or replacing the line itself, checking connections at the supply side, and making sure the line delivers what the appliance needs. We work on the line, not the appliance. The scope stays on the plumbing side of the connection.
A sewage backup or a slow main line is a problem that affects the whole property. We run camera inspections to see exactly what's happening inside the pipe before recommending any work. That means you get a clear picture of the problem, whether it's a root intrusion, an offset joint, or a section of pipe that's failed. We clear blockages, repair damaged sections, and replace main lines when the camera shows the line is past patching. Pick up the phone and we'll handle the pipes.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible, and that extends to urgent situations. A burst pipe, a sewage backup, a flooded basement, or a water heater that quit overnight all need attention that can't wait for a weekday appointment. We take short-notice calls and handle urgent plumbing repair throughout Camden and the surrounding area. Our hours run from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week, so there's a wide window to reach us when something goes wrong. No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing. Call this morning. Get a straight answer about the pipes. That is how we work.
Every home's plumbing tells a different story, and the same is true for commercial properties. We work across the full range: older row homes and single-family houses, condos, rental units, mobile homes, new construction rough-in, and bathroom and kitchen remodels. For property managers and landlords, we understand that a repair on a rental unit needs to get done without a lot of back-and-forth. We scope the job on the call, confirm the price, and get it on the schedule.
On the commercial side, we handle office buildings, apartment complexes, and multi-unit buildings where plumbing problems affect multiple tenants at once. Plumbing work finished to the local code on every callout means no callbacks from the inspector and no surprises when the building changes hands. Whether you manage two units or twenty, call us and tell us what the property needs. We'll take care of the pipes from here.
If you've never hired a plumber before, it helps to know that not every plumbing problem is the same from one city to the next. Camden County's older housing stock, wet winters, and basement-heavy construction create specific demands that come up again and again here. The three services below reflect what we see most often in this area.
Pre-1960s row homes and older housing throughout Camden were commonly built with galvanized steel or lead supply lines. Both corrode over time. Galvanized pipe rusts from the inside out, which shows up as low pressure, discolored water, or a line that simply fails. Lead pipe carries its own concerns. Whole-home repiping replaces the supply lines throughout the house, restoring full pressure and clean water delivery to every fixture. We provide no-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what the job involves before anything is scheduled.
Older neighborhoods in Camden and across Camden County were built with clay or cast-iron sewer lines that are now well past their intended lifespan. Tree roots find the joints. Lines shift and offset. Sections collapse. We run a camera through the line first to show you exactly where the problem is and how far it extends. Where the site allows, trenchless methods can replace the line with minimal disruption to the yard or driveway. Where the damage is too extensive for a spot repair, we replace the full run from the house to the municipal connection. The scope stays on the line, not what it connects to.
Camden's flat terrain and its position near the Delaware River watershed mean that basements in this area collect groundwater. A nor'easter or a stretch of heavy rain can push water through a foundation faster than a failing pump can handle. We install and repair sump pumps, service the drainage lines that feed them, and assess the system as a whole to make sure it can handle what the season throws at it. We'll get your water flowing again fast.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible, and that includes the way we handle pricing. When you call, we ask about the problem, scope the job over the phone, and give you a rate before anything is put on the calendar. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, mean you know what you're agreeing to before work begins. If the job turns out to be more involved once we're on site, we talk through it before we proceed.
We're available seven days a week, from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM, including weekends. Whether you need to schedule a routine repair or you're dealing with something urgent, call for a quote and we'll tell you what the work involves and what it costs. We'll get your water flowing again fast.
We serve Camden city and communities throughout Camden County, including Cherry Hill, Pennsauken, Haddon Township, Collingswood, Bellmawr, Gloucester City, Woodlynne, and Audubon. The same services, the same scheduling window, and the same approach to pricing apply across the entire service area. If you're in one of these towns and need a plumber, call us and we'll confirm availability for your address.
A water heater that is not producing hot water, producing it inconsistently, making rumbling or popping sounds, or showing rust-colored water from the hot faucet are all signs the unit needs attention. Sediment buildup, a failing heating element, or a corroded tank are common causes depending on the unit type and age. We diagnose the issue on the visit and walk through whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense before any work proceeds.
A tank water heater that runs out faster than normal often has sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which reduces the usable capacity and forces the heating element to work harder. A failing thermostat or a heating element that is partially out can produce the same symptom. We check both the heating components and the condition of the tank to determine whether the unit can be repaired or whether replacement is the better path.
A water heater that is corroding internally can introduce sediment and discolored water into the supply lines, which accelerates wear on faucet aerators, fixture valves, and appliance connections. A unit that is undersized or underperforming also puts more demand on the system as a whole. Replacing a failing unit before it fails completely reduces the chance of water damage from a tank that cracks or leaks at the base.
We start with pressure testing the supply lines to confirm a leak is present and to narrow down which section of the system is losing pressure. Where the source is not visually obvious, electronic detection methods trace moisture through the structure without requiring walls to come open unnecessarily. The cause is confirmed before any repair work begins, which keeps the disruption to the structure as limited as possible.
Pressure that drops at specific fixtures but holds elsewhere usually points to a localized problem, such as a clogged aerator, a partially closed stop valve under the fixture, or a supply line that has corroded down to a fraction of its original diameter. Pressure that drops throughout the whole house more often traces back to a failing pressure reducing valve or a main supply line issue. We diagnose the cause before recommending any repair so the fix addresses the actual problem.
The first step is identifying where in the system the pressure is being lost. We check the pressure reducing valve, the main shutoff, and the condition of the supply lines, particularly in older homes where galvanized pipe narrows over time as it corrodes internally. Once the cause is confirmed, the repair might involve replacing a valve, clearing a line, or in cases where the pipe itself is the problem, discussing whether repiping makes more sense than a series of individual repairs.
A spot repair addresses a single failure point, such as a cracked joint, a corroded section of pipe, or a fitting that has let go. A full repipe replaces the supply lines throughout the property and makes sense when recurring leaks at multiple points, persistent low pressure, or the condition of the pipe material as a whole indicate that individual repairs will keep coming back. We explain which approach fits the situation before anything is scheduled.
We start by assessing the pipe material, the condition of the lines, and the symptoms the property is showing, such as recurring leaks, pressure loss, or discolored water. In Camden's older housing stock, galvanized and lead supply lines are common, and both have specific failure patterns that help determine how much of the system needs to be replaced. The scope is confirmed on the call and explained in full before the job is scheduled.
Older homes in Camden commonly have shutoff valves that have not been operated in decades and will not fully close when needed. Replacing those valves and updating aging supply lines is straightforward work that makes a real difference when you need to shut the water off quickly. We assess the condition of the existing valves and lines during the visit and confirm what the replacement involves before proceeding.
We run a camera through the line first to show exactly where the problem is and how far it extends. For localized damage, a spot repair may be sufficient. Where the line is root-choked, collapsed, or deteriorated across a longer run, replacement of the affected section is the right call. The work covers the line from the house to the municipal connection, and where the site allows, trenchless methods minimize disruption to the yard.
Wet winters and heavy rain seasons in Camden County can complicate excavation for sewer line and water service work, particularly in low-lying areas where the water table rises. We account for site conditions when scoping outdoor and underground jobs, and we communicate any timing considerations before the work is scheduled. For sump pump and basement drainage work, fall and early winter are common times to address systems before the heaviest rain season arrives.
Garbage disposal replacement involves disconnecting the old unit, fitting the new one to the existing sink flange or replacing the flange if needed, and reconnecting the drain and the electrical supply at the disposal. We confirm the drain connection is clear and the unit is seated and sealed before the job is finished. If the drain line under the sink has buildup from the old disposal, we clear that as part of the same visit.
We know this area. We know its older pipes. Leaks traced to the source. When you call Camden Plumbing Company, you get a price confirmed on the call, the work scoped before anything is scheduled, and straight answers about what the job involves. No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing. We're open seven days a week, 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Below is a plain-language look at the plumbing work we handle in Camden and across Camden County. Each row covers what the service includes, who it fits best, and one practical detail worth knowing before you call. Scroll through, find what matches your situation, and call us for a price confirmed before anything is scheduled.
| Type of Job | What the Job Covers | Recommended For | Helpful to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Softener Installation | Softener unit installation on the supply line, Bypass valve fitting, Connection to existing plumbing | Homeowners dealing with scale buildup on fixtures, water heaters, and appliances | A softener is installed on the supply side before water reaches the heater and fixtures, which extends the working life of both. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | Camera inspection of the line, Root intrusion and blockage clearing, Spot repair and full line replacement | Properties with sewage backup, slow drains at every fixture, or a main line that has not been inspected in years | We run the camera first so you see exactly where the problem is and how far it extends before any repair cost is discussed. |
| Emergency Plumbing | Burst pipe response, Sewage backup and flooding, Water heater failure and major leaks | Any situation where waiting until a scheduled appointment means ongoing water damage or loss of service | We take short-notice calls seven days a week from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Call as soon as the problem starts rather than waiting to see if it resolves. |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement | Tank and tankless repair, Full unit replacement and new installation, Expansion tank installation where required | Households or businesses with no hot water, inconsistent output, or a unit past its useful life | Commercial and multi-unit properties often need a unit sized for higher simultaneous demand. We size the replacement to the actual load before anything is ordered. |
| Whole-Home Repiping | Galvanized and lead supply line replacement, Full-property repipe from main to fixtures, Pressure and flow restoration | Pre-1960s homes in Camden with recurring leaks, low pressure, or discolored water from the hot or cold faucet | Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, narrowing the interior diameter over time. Repiping restores full pressure and clean delivery to every fixture in the house. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | Disposal repair and reset, Full unit replacement, Drain line clearing at the disposal connection | Kitchens where the disposal has seized, is leaking, or has stopped draining | If the drain line under the sink has buildup from the old unit, we clear that as part of the same visit rather than leaving a partial fix. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | Pressure reducing valve diagnosis and replacement, Shutoff valve replacement, Backflow preventer installation | Homes with pressure that is too low, too high, or inconsistent across fixtures | Shutoff valves in Camden's older housing stock are often decades old and will not fully close in an emergency. Replacing them before they are needed is straightforward preventive work. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | Sink, tub, and shower drains, Floor drains and main lines, Hydro jetting for grease and mineral buildup | Homes and commercial properties with slow or fully clogged drain | Hydro jetting clears buildup that a standard snake pushes past rather than removes, which means the line stays clear longer after the visit. |
| Lead Service Line Replacement | Lead supply line removal, New supply line installation to current standards, Connection at the main and at the house | Owners of older Camden homes that still have original lead service lines from the street | Camden's housing stock includes properties built well before lead service lines were phased out. Replacement removes the line entirely rather than relying on filters or partial fixes. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | Running toilet diagnosis and repair, Full toilet replacement, Wax ring and supply line service | Homeowners and landlords dealing with a toilet that runs, leaks at the base, or will not flush properly | A running toilet can waste several gallons per hour. Catching the cause early keeps the water bill from climbing before the next meter read. |
| Sewer Line Replacement | Camera inspection before any work begins, Trenchless replacement where the site allows, Full run replacement from house to municipal connection | Older Camden properties with clay or cast-iron sewer lines showing root intrusion, offsets, or collapse | Trenchless methods can replace a deteriorated line with minimal disruption to the yard or driveway where site conditions allow. |
| Sump Pump & Basement Drainage | Sump pump installation and repair, Drainage line service, System assessment for seasonal load | Camden homeowners with basements that collect groundwater during heavy rain or nor'easters | Fall is the practical window to service or replace a sump pump before the heaviest rain season arrives. A pump that is struggling in October is a flooded basement in January. |
| Leak Detection & Repair | Pressure testing to confirm and isolate a leak, Electronic detection through walls and ceilings, Supply line and underground water line repair | Owners who suspect a hidden leak but cannot locate the source | We confirm the cause before any repair work begins, which keeps the disruption to walls and ceilings as limited as possible. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | Faucet repair and replacement, Hose bib and outdoor spigot service, Bathroom and kitchen fixture installation | Remodels, fixture upgrades, or a dripping faucet that has not responded to basic repairs | We handle the under-sink plumbing connections as part of the same visit so the fixture is fully operational before we leave. |
| Cast-Iron Drain Stack Replacement | Inspection of existing cast-iron stack, Section or full stack replacement, Connection to existing branch drains | Older multi-story homes and row houses where the main drain stack is corroding or showing pinhole failures | Cast-iron stacks in Camden's row home stock can last a long time, but when they start to go, failures often appear at multiple points along the same run. |
What is the difference between tank and tankless water heaters, and how do I choose?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and reheats it as it is used. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through, which means it does not run out the way a tank can but requires adequate gas or electrical supply to keep up with simultaneous demand. For a single-family home with moderate use, either type can work well. For a household that runs multiple showers and appliances at the same time, a tankless unit sized correctly for the load is often the better fit. We walk through both options on the call so you can make the choice that fits how your household actually uses hot water.
How do I know whether a clog is in the fixture drain or further down in the main line?
A clog in a single fixture, such as one sink or one shower, almost always sits in that fixture's drain or the branch line connected to it. When multiple fixtures back up at the same time, or when flushing a toilet causes water to rise in a nearby tub, the blockage is typically in the main line. We ask about that pattern on the call because it tells us where to start and what equipment the job is likely to need before we arrive.
What does hydro jetting clear that a drain snake cannot?
A drain snake breaks through a blockage and creates an opening, but it does not remove what is coating the pipe walls. Grease, mineral scale, and soap buildup can line the interior of a drain pipe and narrow it down over time, causing clogs to come back quickly after snaking. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the pipe walls and flush the debris out of the line entirely. For kitchen drains with heavy grease accumulation and for older pipes with mineral scale, hydro jetting produces a cleaner result that holds longer.
Cause Found Before Anything Is Replaced
We diagnose before we repair. Whether it is a hidden leak, a sewer line problem, or a water heater that stopped producing, we confirm the cause on the visit and explain it before any repair cost is committed to.
How does tree root damage to a sewer line get repaired?
Tree roots enter sewer lines through joints and small cracks, then grow inside the pipe until they restrict or block the flow entirely. We run a camera through the line to see how extensive the intrusion is and where it is concentrated. A localized root mass in an otherwise sound pipe can sometimes be cleared and the joint sealed. Where roots have caused the pipe to crack, offset, or collapse across a longer section, repair or replacement of that section is the right call. The camera inspection is what tells us which approach fits the actual condition of the line.
Do I need to be home for the plumbing work, and how long does a typical visit take?
Someone needs to be present to provide access to the property and to review the scope and price before work begins. Beyond that, how long the visit takes depends entirely on the job. A straightforward faucet replacement or drain clearing is often done in under an hour. A water heater replacement, a sewer camera inspection, or a shutoff valve replacement on a corroded line takes longer. We give you a realistic time estimate on the call so you can plan your schedule around it.
When does a running or leaking toilet need to be replaced rather than repaired?
Most running toilets can be repaired by replacing the fill valve, the flapper, or the flush valve, all of which are inexpensive parts. A toilet that is cracking at the base, rocking because the flange is damaged, or leaking from the porcelain itself is a candidate for replacement. Older toilets that have been repaired multiple times and continue to have problems are sometimes more cost-effective to replace than to keep patching. We look at the full condition of the toilet on the visit and explain what the repair involves versus what a new unit would cost before anything is decided.
Code-Compliant Work on Every Job
Plumbing work finished to the local code on every callout means no callbacks from the inspector and no complications when the property changes hands.
How are emergency plumbing calls handled outside of a normal appointment window?
We take short-notice calls throughout our operating hours, which run from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM seven days a week. When you call about a burst pipe, a sewage backup, or a major leak, we ask about the situation on the call to understand what is happening and what needs to happen first. For a burst pipe, we can walk you through shutting off the main supply while the visit is being arranged. The price is confirmed on the call before anyone is dispatched, the same as any other job.
How does pricing work, and when do I find out what the job will cost?
We scope the job on the call and give you a rate before anything is scheduled. That means you know what you are agreeing to before work begins. If the job turns out to be more involved once we are on site, we talk through what changed and what it means for the price before we proceed. There is no pressure to continue if the scope shifts and you want to think it over.
Older and Newer Plumbing Both Handled
Camden's housing stock runs from pre-war row homes with galvanized and lead supply lines to newer construction with modern materials. We work across all of it and scope the job to what the property actually has.
Is plumbing work in Camden subject to local code requirements?
Yes. Plumbing work in Camden is subject to New Jersey state plumbing code and local inspection requirements. We work to the code that applies to the job, which matters when a property is sold, refinanced, or inspected. Permits and inspections are part of the process for certain scopes of work, and we account for that when we discuss the job on the call.
What causes a faucet to drip or a fixture to leak even after it has been repaired?
A faucet that drips after a repair usually has a worn seat, a damaged cartridge, or a valve body that is corroded enough that a new washer or seal cannot seat properly against it. In those cases, the internal component that the seal presses against needs to be resurfaced or the cartridge replaced entirely. Older fixtures with significant corrosion inside the valve body sometimes reach a point where replacement of the fixture is more reliable than continuing to repair the internal parts.
How long does a whole-home repipe typically take?
The timeline depends on the size of the property, the number of fixtures, and how the existing pipe is routed through the structure. A single-family row home in Camden can often be repiped in one to two days. Larger properties or those with complex layouts take longer. We give you a realistic estimate of the timeline when we scope the job, along with a clear picture of what access to the walls and ceilings the work will require.
