Bukowski Plumbing, Inc. - South Jersey Plumber

A backflow preventer stops contaminated water from flowing backwards into your clean drinking water supply. In New Jersey, most municipalities require annual backflow testing and certification for any property with an irrigation system, fire suppression system, or commercial water connection. Bukowski Plumbing is fully licensed and certified to install, test, and certify backflow prevention devices throughout Camden County, Burlington County, and Gloucester County.

New Jersey requires backflow prevention devices to be tested and certified annually by a licensed backflow inspector. After testing, a certification report is submitted to your local water authority. Failing to complete annual backflow testing can result in fines or water service interruption. Bukowski Plumbing handles the full process — testing, certification, and filing the required paperwork with your municipality.

Yes. In New Jersey, any property with an in-ground irrigation or sprinkler system is required to have an approved backflow prevention device installed and tested annually. Without one, pesticides and fertilizers from your lawn could contaminate the public water supply. If you've recently installed an irrigation system or purchased a home with one, contact us to inspect and certify your backflow preventer.

Yes. We install, repair, and replace backflow prevention devices for residential and commercial properties throughout South Jersey. Our licensed inspectors handle everything from selecting the right device for your system to installation, initial testing, and certification.

Common signs of a blocked or dirty sewer line include slow-draining sinks or tubs, gurgling sounds from drains, sewage odors inside or outside your home, multiple drains backing up at the same time, or water backing up into your toilet when you run the sink. If you notice any of these warning signs, call Bukowski Plumbing right away — a blocked sewer line can cause serious water damage if left untreated.

Drain snaking uses a rotating cable to break through or pull out a clog — it's fast, effective for most common blockages, and is typically the first approach. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clear grease buildup, scale, and debris from the pipe walls, and is better suited for recurring clogs, grease-heavy lines (like restaurant drains), or older pipes with significant buildup. We assess your drain and recommend the right method for your situation.

Yes. We provide sewer camera inspections and sewer line locating services for real estate transactions throughout South Jersey. A pre-purchase sewer inspection can reveal cracks, root intrusion, bellied pipes, or blockages before you close on a property — potentially saving you thousands in unexpected repairs. We work with real estate agents, buyers, and property managers across Camden County and Burlington County.

Most traditional water heaters last 8–12 years. Signs it's time for a replacement include inconsistent hot water, rumbling or popping noises from the tank, rusty or discolored hot water, visible corrosion around the unit, or water pooling near the base. If your water heater is over 10 years old and showing any of these signs, it's usually more cost-effective to replace it than repair it. Call Bukowski Plumbing for a same-day assessment.

We install and service all major types of water heaters including 40-gallon and 50-gallon gas water heaters, electric water heaters, tankless (on-demand) water heaters, and power vent water heaters. We also handle oil-to-gas conversions for homeowners switching fuel sources. All installations are performed by licensed plumbers and include proper venting, connections, and code compliance throughout South Jersey.

A standard water heater replacement typically takes 2–3 hours. Tankless water heater installations may take longer depending on whether new gas lines or venting are required. In most cases we can complete same-day water heater replacement throughout South Jersey — call us in the morning and you'll have hot water by evening. We carry 40 and 50-gallon units on our trucks for immediate installation.

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand rather than maintaining a full tank, which can reduce energy costs by 20–30% for average households. They also last longer — typically 15–20 years vs. 10–12 for a traditional tank. The upfront cost is higher, but for households with high hot water demand or limited utility space, the long-term savings and convenience often make them the better investment. We can assess your home's needs and help you decide what makes sense.
