Older Houses and Aging Pipes in Bound Brook
Bound Brook is a borough of pre-1960 houses: about 55 percent went up before that year, per Census estimates, and the midpoint falls around 1957. Plumbers of that era often ran galvanized steel to the faucets and cast iron to the sewer. As galvanized pipe rusts inward, the opening shrinks, and flow at the taps drops with it.
Wastewater leaves the borough for treatment at the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, but who owns the collection lines under the streets is worth verifying for any given problem. The homeowner's piece is usually the lateral, the pipe running from the house to the street. When an old one cracks or lets roots in, our own crew can often reline it from the inside instead of trenching across the yard. Baseboard heaters and heat pumps matter here too, because electric heat serves about 24 percent of occupied homes.
