New Jersey plumbing FAQ
How do I check a plumber's license in New Jersey?

Yes, during cold snaps. Pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls and unheated garages are the ones that freeze. Disconnect hoses in fall and open sink cabinets on the coldest nights.
Is New Jersey water hard?
Generally moderate, based on national hardness mapping, but it varies by utility and by well. Your water provider's annual water quality report lists the hardness for your system, and a plumber can test well water.
