In East Meadow, the sewer line is often the oldest working part of the house. Most were laid in the 1950s building boom and have never been dug up. See also our East Meadow page and sewer line repair and hookups across Long Island.
Your line, the county's main
East Meadow is an unincorporated hamlet on Nassau County's sewer system. The county health department lists the county's Department of Public Works, at 1194 Prospect Avenue in Westbury, as the sewer authority. The county runs about 3,000 miles of sewer main and 57 pump stations, according to the Long Island Commission for Aquifer Protection. The main in the street is the county's. The pipe from your house to it is the building's, and that's what we repair or replace. Permits for the work go through the Town of Hempstead Building Department, and the county DPW lists a sewer permits line, (516) 571-6840.
A whole hamlet the same age
The Census Bureau's latest survey says 54% of East Meadow homes were built in the 1950s and the median year built is 1957. House sewers of that era were usually clay tile or cast iron. After about 70 years, the usual problems are:
- Roots in clay joints, especially under lawns with old street trees.
- Rust and a worn-out bottom in cast iron, which leaves a rough channel that catches paper.
- Sags where the trench settled, so waste sits in a low spot and builds up.
- Breaks where the pipe passes the foundation or meets the street connection.
Signs it's the line, not a clog
A main that backs up again within weeks of clearing. Sewage smell in the basement. A soft or sunken strip in the front lawn along the line's path. Roots on the cable after clearing. Any of these means the pipe has an opening, and clearing alone won't hold.
Repair or replace
We clear the line, then locate the problem and how deep it is before recommending anything. A single bad section can usually be dug and replaced. If the line is failing along its length, replacing it to the county connection is the lasting fix. In a house this age, we also look at the cast-iron house drain inside the basement, since it's the same age as the outside line.
Not a flood area
Our overlay of FEMA's flood map puts less than 1% of East Meadow in the high-risk flood zone, so the storm-tide sewer backups that South Shore villages see are rare here. Backups in East Meadow are usually the house line itself. If the street sewer is backing up into several houses, call the county's 24-hour sewer service line, (516) 571-6900, or its SUEZ hotline, 866-224-8508.
