Plumbing in Toms River: what to know
Toms River's bay-front neighborhoods were heavily flooded by Hurricane Sandy, and many homes have since been raised.
Toms River gets real cold snaps most winters. They are short, which is exactly why homeowners get caught out: hose bibs left connected, pipes along outside walls and uninsulated crawl-space lines are the usual failures.
Much of Toms River has hard water. Scale builds up in water heaters and fixtures over time, which shows up as popping noises in the tank, weak shower flow and crusty aerators.
Ocean County and New Jersey housing: Dense older housing with basements; Hurricane Ida in 2021 flooded many basement apartments.
