Most of Elmont's house sewers went in when Belmont Park's old farm lots were turned into house lots, in the 1940s and 1950s. They've carried heavy loads ever since. See also our Elmont page and sewer line repair and hookups across Long Island.
Farm lots, then tracts
Wikipedia says the farms around Belmont Park, which opened in 1905, were sold and split into house lots, many bought by people who worked at the track, and that Elmont filled in with tract homes after World War II. The Census Bureau's latest survey matches that: 18% of homes were built before 1940, 25% in the 1940s and 29% in the 1950s, so about seven in ten are more than 65 years old. Only 11% went up after 1980.
Who owns which pipe
Nassau County's health department lists the county's Department of Public Works, 1194 Prospect Avenue in Westbury, as Elmont's sewer authority. The county sewer system has about 3,000 miles of 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 out to that main is the building's, and that's the pipe we repair or replace. Elmont has tried to incorporate as a village three times without success, so it remains a hamlet and permits go through the Town of Hempstead Building Department. The county lists a sewer permits line at (516) 571-6840.
What wears out first
- Clay joints open over decades, and roots from street and yard trees grow in.
- Cast iron rusts and wears thin along the bottom, where waste flows.
- Heavy use speeds both. The survey puts the average Elmont household at 3.65 people, and 11% of homes are two-family, so the line carries more than it was built for.
Signs it's the pipe
The main backs up again within weeks of clearing. Roots come back on the cable. A sewage smell in the basement, or a soggy, sinking strip of lawn between the house and the street. In a two-family house, both units back up together.
Repair or replace
We clear the line, then locate the problem and how deep it is before recommending anything. A single broken section can often be dug and replaced. A line that's cracked or sagging along its length should be replaced out to the county connection. In a two-family house, we size the new line for the whole building.
No flood zone, so it's the line
Our overlay of FEMA's flood map on the Census boundary puts none of Elmont in the high-risk flood zone. That means a backup here is almost never storm water pushing back from the street. It's a blockage or a failure in the house line, or a problem in the county main. If neighbors back up too, call the county's 24-hour sewer service line, (516) 571-6900.
