Fanwood is a small, historic borough just beyond Scotch Plains — about 8 to 12 minutes from Westfield — laid out around its railroad station in the 1870s. Its older core means old supply piping and root-prone sewer laterals, with mid-century homes on the streets around it.
We handle the pipe, sewer and drain work these older homes need, including careful repairs in the Fanwood Park Historic District, 24/7.
Plumbing in Fanwood: the local picture
Fanwood is a borough of about 7,800 built around its 1870s railroad station; the Fanwood Park Historic District has 57 contributing buildings, and the historic core is full of Victorian-era homes.
That age drives the calls: aging galvanized or early copper supply piping, and clay sewer laterals under the mature trees of the historic streets, prone to root intrusion. On the streets around the core, mid-century homes bring the same postwar repairs seen elsewhere in the ring.
Around Fanwood: streets, landmarks and the calls we get
We work throughout Fanwood — the historic district and streets around the Fanwood station, along Martine Avenue and South Avenue (Route 28), and near LaGrande Park.
A typical Fanwood call is a recurring sewer clog in a historic home where roots have found the clay lateral, or a galvanized supply line that has finally rusted closed and dropped the water pressure to a trickle.
