Editorial Review
Our Take on All Clear Plumbing
A review count above a thousand at 4.9 stars is rare and hard to fake, and it is the strongest single signal on this profile. The seven-decade trading history and the combined plumbing and heating capability fit North Jersey's older housing stock well, particularly the steam boiler work. The Monday closure on the published hours is the only thing that gives us pause, and it is easily resolved with a phone call.
Best for: older Essex County homes needing both plumbing and heating from one company
What We Like
- 4.9 rating from 1,087 reviews on its Google Business Profile, read September 4, 2026
- Trading since 1952 per its own website, family owned and operated
- Plumbing and heating under one roof, including steam and hydronic boilers
- Trenchless sewer line options for properties with paved or landscaped laterals
- Licence number 10960 published openly on the website
- Flat rate pricing quoted before work begins, per the company
Things to Consider
- Published hours show Monday closed, though the site advertises 24/7 emergency cover, so confirm by phone
- The website lists a different phone number to the Google profile
- Flat rate pricing can cost more than hourly on very small, quick jobs
- A larger dispatch operation means you may not get the same technician on repeat visits

About All Clear Plumbing
Newark and its neighbouring towns sit on housing that ranges from pre war two and three families to post war capes and newer condo stock, and the plumbing underneath reflects every decade of that. Cast iron waste stacks that have thinned from the inside. Galvanized supply lines that have narrowed to the diameter of a pencil. Steam and hot water boilers in basements that have been patched by four different contractors over fifty years. A company that has been working this ground since 1952, as all clear plumbing says it has, will have seen most of it more than once.
The service list is broad in a way that suits older properties. On the plumbing side there is emergency work, water heater service and installation, drain cleaning and hydrojetting, sump pumps, burst pipe repair, leak detection, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, and bathroom remodeling. Sewer work gets its own attention, including line repair and trenchless replacement, which matters a great deal in this part of Essex County where laterals often run under mature street trees, driveways and pavement that the town would rather you did not dig up. Septic tank service is also listed, relevant in the outer parts of the coverage area rather than in Newark proper. The heating division handles furnaces, boilers, and hydronic and steam systems, the last of which is a genuinely specialised skill and one that a lot of newer companies simply will not touch.
On reputation, the Google Business Profile showed 4.9 stars from 1,087 reviews when read on September 4, 2026. Volume at that level is worth more than the number itself. A handful of glowing reviews tells you little, but a thousand of them accumulated over years tells you the operation is consistent across many technicians and many kinds of job. Reviews quoted on the company's own site mention named technicians and follow-up calls after work was completed, which fits the pattern of a family run business where the owner is still involved.
Hours are the one thing worth reading carefully. The published schedule shows Tuesday through Friday from 6:30 in the morning until 8 at night, Saturday and Sunday from 6:30 until 6, and Monday closed. The website separately advertises 24/7 emergency service with a live answer, so the two are best understood as a scheduling office running those hours and an emergency line running around the clock. If your problem lands on a Monday, call and ask directly rather than assuming either way. Note also that the site lists a different phone number to the one on the Google profile, so use whichever connects you fastest.
Who this suits: a homeowner in Newark, Belleville, Bloomfield, Nutley or the surrounding towns who wants one company for both the water side and the heat side, and who would rather deal with an established firm than the cheapest quote. Flat rate pricing, which the company says it uses on all jobs, means the number is agreed before anyone picks up a wrench. That tends to cost slightly more than time and materials on a quick job and slightly less on a job that turns complicated, and most people prefer the certainty. Who it suits less: anyone shopping purely on hourly rate, and anyone needing a very small handyman-scale task where a large dispatch operation is more machinery than the job needs.
Before booking, ask a few concrete things. Get the flat rate quote in writing and confirm whether it covers permits, because Newark and the surrounding municipalities require them for water heater swaps, gas line work and sewer replacements, and an unpermitted job can surface later during a sale. Ask what the diagnostic or trip fee is and whether it applies to the final bill. If the job is a sewer lateral, ask whether a camera inspection is included and request the footage. For a boiler, ask about the age of the unit and whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense, and get both numbers. The licence number published on the site, 10960, can be checked against New Jersey state records, and it is reasonable to ask for a certificate of insurance on any job that involves excavation or gas.
Compared with the wider market, all clear plumbing sits in the established, multi-van category rather than the single owner-operator tier. That usually means faster response and better parts availability, with the trade-off that you may not get the same technician twice. Loyalty membership and posted coupons are part of the model, which is common among companies of this scale and worth asking about if you expect repeat work.

All Clear Plumbing FAQs
What areas does All Clear Plumbing cover?
Essex, Passaic, Hudson and Bergen counties, according to the company's website. The office address is on Greylock Avenue in Belleville, which puts Newark, Bloomfield, Nutley and the surrounding towns within a short drive. If you are near the edge of those counties, call to confirm before booking.
Is All Clear Plumbing open on Mondays?
The published hours on its Google profile show Monday as closed, with Tuesday to Friday running 6:30 AM to 8 PM and weekends 6:30 AM to 6 PM. The company separately advertises 24/7 emergency service with a live answer, so an urgent Monday problem is likely still covered. Ring the number and ask rather than assuming.
How much does a plumber cost here?
The company says it uses upfront flat rate pricing on all jobs, so you are given the figure before work starts rather than being billed by the hour. No specific prices are published beyond coupons listed on its site for water heater installation, boiler repair and drain cleaning. Ask whether the quote includes permits and any diagnostic fee.
Is the company licensed?
Licence number 10960 is published on the company's own website, and it describes itself as licensed and insured. New Jersey master plumber licences can be verified through state records, and it is fair to ask for a certificate of insurance before any excavation or gas work.
Can they replace a sewer line without digging up my driveway?
Trenchless sewer line services are listed among its offerings, which typically means lining or pipe bursting rather than a full open trench. Suitability depends on the condition and layout of your existing lateral, so a camera inspection normally comes first. Ask to see the camera footage before agreeing to any sewer work.
Do they work on steam and old boilers?
Yes, hydronic and steam heating are listed alongside furnace and boiler repair. That matters in older North Jersey housing, where original steam systems are still common and many newer plumbing companies decline the work. Ask about the age of your unit and get both repair and replacement figures.
How reliable are the reviews?
The 4.9 rating comes from 1,087 reviews on the Google Business Profile, read on September 4, 2026. A count that high accumulated over time is a stronger signal than a small cluster of perfect scores, because it reflects consistency across many technicians and job types.
Is All Clear Plumbing licensed and insured?
We checked 0 of 1 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.
What areas does All Clear Plumbing serve?

What warranty do they offer?
Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.
How was this profile built?
