Sewer Line Repair in Levittown, NYOriginal Lines to Sewer District 3

Levittown is inside Nassau County Sewer District No. 3, which runs from Freeport to the Suffolk line and from the Long Island Expressway to the Great South Bay. It drains to the Cedar Creek plant on the Wantagh–Seaford border. Nassau County's health department lists the county's Department of Public Works as Levittown's sewer authority. The main in the street is the county's; for a problem there, the Department of Public Works lists the SUEZ hotline, 866-224-8508, for all sewer-related issues. The line from your house to that main is yours.

Levitt houses sat on concrete slabs, so the drain leaves the house below or through the slab rather than through a basement wall. That makes the cleanout location and the first few feet of pipe important. Many houses have been expanded since, adding bathrooms and laundry rooms that tie into the same line. We trace where everything joins before deciding what to repair.

The survey counts 86% of Levittown homes with three or more bedrooms and 47% with four or more, with an average of 3.07 people per household. Many of those bedrooms came from later dormers and extensions. A house sewer laid for a two-bedroom Levitt house now often carries an extra bathroom and more laundry, which is part of why old weak spots show up.
