Maplewood Oil Burners and Cast Iron Drains
Oil heats about one occupied Maplewood home in ten, by Census estimates, the same share as electric heat, while gas serves about 78 percent. Oil equipment needs two things each year: a burner cleaning and tune-up, and a check of the tank for rust or seepage. Oil-fired furnaces and boilers get the same service from us as gas and electric equipment.
The housing is old, too. By Census estimates, half dates to 1938 or earlier and about 71 percent to before 1960. Original cast iron drain lines of that age may be thinning or cracked, and a damp spot or a sewer odor in the basement is often the first clue. The Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties treats Maplewood's sewage at its plant in Elizabeth, while New Jersey American Water's Passaic Basin system feeds the taps. ZIP 07040 is in our service area.
