Roxbury Township is one municipality with several names on the mail. Residents say Succasunna, Ledgewood, Kenvil or Landing, and an emergency plumber in Roxbury, NJ needs to know all four. Call our 24/7 line, give the community and the street, and a licensed plumber is dispatched from our base in Randolph.
The 2020 Census counted 22,950 people here, and 88.2 percent of homes are owner-occupied. Owners usually decide on repairs themselves, so we describe the options and price the work before it begins.
Succasunna, the largest community and the primary ZIP
ZIP 07876 is Succasunna, the biggest of the township's mailing communities, which is why we list it first. Succasunna Brook is one of the two brook corridors the county flood plan names, with Drakes Brook. If your house sits near a brook, a failed sump pump or a floor drain that bubbles after heavy rain is a plumbing call we handle, and sump pump repair is a frequent request.
Ledgewood, Kenvil and the water company question
Two water suppliers serve the township according to a 2025 Highlands Council draft report. New Jersey American Water covers the south and the Roxbury Township Water Department covers the north, and both draw from wells. The American Water company took over the Roxbury Water Company system, close to 4,000 accounts, at the end of 2018.
That split decides who answers a pressure complaint or a main break, so check your bill before calling. For a leak between the street and your house, our water line repair team can check the pipe on your side.
Round-the-clock dispatch across all of Roxbury
Our dispatch line never closes, so a Roxbury call at 3 a.m. gets the same attention as one at noon. We take the address, the community name and a description of the trouble, then send a crew. Typical jobs include garbage disposal replacement, failed tanks, and sewer stoppages.
Sewer plants, authority service and septic homes
The Highlands report lists the Ajax Treatment Plant in the southeast, service through the Musconetcong Sewerage Authority, and two small plants, including one in Ledgewood. Septic tanks or cesspools serve the remaining areas. The township's Sewer Department also rehabilitates manholes and mains to reduce stormwater getting into the sanitary system.
Knowing which side your house is on changes the plan for a backup. A sewered house may have a blocked lateral, while a septic home may have a full tank. We say plainly when a problem is a septic matter, and we point you to a septic company, because our work covers the plumbing. For sewer lines, start with sewer line cleaning.
Which mailing name goes with which ZIP
| Community | ZIP | Say this to the dispatcher |
|---|---|---|
| Succasunna | 07876 | Your street and Roxbury Township |
| Ledgewood | 07852 | Your street and the nearest cross street |
| Kenvil | 07847 | Your street and the nearest cross street |
| Landing | 07850 | Your street and the nearest cross street |
The township hall uses a Ledgewood address, so a bill or form may show a different community name than your home. Both are Roxbury.
While we are on our way to Roxbury
Four steps worth doing first.
1Identify your water supplier
Look at the last bill. It says whether you use American Water or the township, and which number to call about the street.
2Close the main valve
Shut it if you can reach it safely. Leave it alone if it is corroded or stuck.
3Protect the floor and contents
Move valuables up. Put buckets under drips and towels around a toilet base.
4Gas smell? Outside first
Walk out, get away from the building, then dial 911 or the gas utility. Plumbing comes after.
The Roxbury Township service area
The map is centered on the township as a whole, not one community. Succasunna, Ledgewood, Kenvil and Landing are all inside it. Tell the dispatcher your community name and we confirm we can reach your street.
Lakes and brook corridors
Highlands figures list 173 acres of Lake Hopatcong inside the township, along with Lake Musconetcong, Chesler Lake and Horseshoe Lake. The county plan counts 54 people and 35 buildings in the 100-year flood areas and 59 flood policies. Waterfront and low-lying houses should consider a battery backup pump. Check valves on drains can jam open with debris, so ask the construction office whether they are allowed before buying one.
Housing built before 1980
About 65 percent of Roxbury's housing units went up before 1980, and nearly half before 1970, according to ACS tabulations. That says nothing about any single house, but it does mean older fixtures and valves are likely somewhere in town. When we visit, we look at the shutoffs and supply lines near the problem, and explain whether a repiping conversation is worth having.
Ask the Roxbury construction department
The township lists a Construction Department among its offices. We could not confirm a plumbing permit rule for water heaters here, so ask the department before a replacement, and you can check any plumber on the state's License Verification System.
Roxbury plumbing questions
The questions Roxbury callers raise most.
We cover the four Roxbury communities: Succasunna 07876, Ledgewood 07852, Kenvil 07847 and Landing 07850. No ZIP uses Roxbury as the city name, so tell the dispatcher your street and the word Roxbury.
Yes. Dispatch is open at all hours, and a licensed plumber is sent from our Randolph base to nearby Roxbury. Mention if water is flowing, a sewer is backing up, or you smell gas, since gas calls start outside the building.
Two suppliers serve the township, New Jersey American Water in the south and the Roxbury Township Water Department in the north. Your water bill names yours.
Both exist in Roxbury. Areas served by the township and authority plants are sewered, and remaining areas use septic tanks or cesspools. Your tax or utility bill, or a call to the township, settles it.
Cost depends on access, the repair type, parts and time on site. A broken shutoff in a utility closet is a different job from a main line under a driveway. We give a clear price before work starts.
Yes, through snaking and cabling, and we can add a camera look when a backup repeats. If the problem is a septic tank, we tell you and refer you to a septic company.
We have not confirmed the township rule. Call the Roxbury Construction Department before the work and we will follow its requirements.
