Mountain Lakes' iconic Hapgood homes have plumbing systems that need someone who's worked on them before.
Mountain Lakes' iconic Hapgood homes — those classic stucco-and-tile houses built between 1910 and 1930 — need a plumber who has worked on them before. We have. The original cast-iron drains, galvanized supply, and creative renovation history of these homes require careful diagnosis and a respectful approach to the architecture.
Beyond the Hapgoods, Mountain Lakes has newer construction on the borough's edges and a mix of mid-century homes filling in between. We service all of it, but the Hapgood work is what we're known for here.
"Great diagnosis of multiple situations, expert repair, reasonable charges, personable and courteous service." - Stephen M., Google Review
Mountain Lakes' Hapgoods deserve a plumber who treats them like the architectural assets they are. Call Sidekick at (973) 397-5347.
Plumbing isn't generic — every neighborhood has its own housing stock and quirks. Here's what we see day to day.
Original 1910s–30s stucco-and-tile architecture with original cast-iron drain stacks, galvanized supply, and lead bends. We approach these homes carefully — we know what's behind the walls and how to repair without making the next renovation harder.
Standard modern plumbing with PEX, tankless heaters, and pressure-balanced systems. Routine service work.
Local housing stock and water chemistry shape what breaks. These are the recurring problems we solve in Mountain Lakes.
Hapgood homes still on original galvanized are losing pressure year by year. We do staged repipes — one floor at a time — to spread the cost and minimize disruption.
100-year-old cast iron eventually fails. We replace stacks with minimal wall damage, often working from utility chases and closets to preserve original plaster and tile.
Common in pre-1960 construction. We replace with code-compliant materials when we're already in the wall for other work.
Working on Hapgoods is craft. Knowing which walls hide the stack, which closets give you access, which finishes are original and irreplaceable — that knowledge takes years. We have it.
Excellent! Jimmy and his partner provide outstanding plumbing services. Diagnoses problems quickly and explains the whole process thoroughly. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience with Sidekick Plumbing! They installed new pipes for my washer and a shower valve in my condo in East Hanover. The plumber was professional, efficient, and knowledgeable, making the whole process smooth and hassle-free. Definitely a company I would recommend.
Jimmy was on time, professional, fairly priced and most importantly fixed the water leak I had in my bathroom. Will 100% be using Sidekick Plumbing in the future!
