Hopatcong climbs the hillsides above Lake Hopatcong, the largest lake in New Jersey, and much of the borough was built as seasonal lake housing long before it was converted for year-round living. That history left small homes on steep, narrow lots with crawl spaces, retrofitted heating and plumbing that was never meant to sit through a full winter. Access, freeze protection and drainage come up on almost every job here.
Heights Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is a family-owned, licensed and insured plumbing and HVAC company serving the borough of Hopatcong in Sussex County, New Jersey. ZIP 07843. We offer same-day service, on-time arrival and upfront pricing on every job, and we handle residential and commercial work.
What We See in Hopatcong Homes & Buildings
- Converted seasonal houses often have supply lines or drains running through unheated crawl spaces, which is where most of the freeze damage happens.
- Steep driveways and hillside lots make equipment access a genuine planning item for boiler, furnace and water heater replacements.
- Basements and crawl spaces dug into the slope take on water during heavy rain and snowmelt, so sump pumps and backup pumps earn their keep.
Sections of Hopatcong we serve include River Styx, along with every other part of the borough.

Hopatcong Plumbing & HVAC FAQs
A pipe froze under our house last winter. How do we keep it from happening again?
We look at where the run is exposed and how the crawl space is sealed. The fix is usually a combination of air sealing, insulation and sometimes relocating a short section — not just wrapping the pipe and hoping.
Our driveway is steep and narrow. Does that rule out a boiler replacement?
No, it just gets planned around. We walk the access route before quoting so the removal and the delivery are worked out ahead of time and the price does not change on installation day.
The basement has only flooded once. Do we really need a sump pump?
On a hillside lot, once is usually warning enough. A properly placed pit and pump — with a battery backup if the basement is finished — costs far less than the second flood does.
