Long Beach drains end at a city sewer plant on a barrier island, not at a cesspool or a county main. That, plus a lot of small homes and big buildings, makes drain work here different from the rest of Nassau. See also our Long Beach page and drain cleaning across Long Island.

Small homes, close together

The Census Bureau's latest five-year survey puts the median Long Beach home at 4.9 rooms, and only 48% have three or more bedrooms. The average household is 2.23 people. Only 38% of homes are single-family detached; 20% are two-family houses and 39% are in buildings with five or more units. 23% were built before 1940. In the older bungalow streets, the drain lines are often original cast iron, and houses sit so close together that reaching a cleanout can mean working along a narrow side yard.

Apartments and shared stacks

In a building, your kitchen and bath drain into a stack shared with the units above and below. A clog in your branch line is yours and we clear it from your unit. A clog in the stack backs up into the lowest unit on that line, often from someone else's grease. If the water coming up isn't from your own use, tell building management; the stack may be the building's responsibility.

Storm tides and floor drains

Our overlay of FEMA's flood map puts nearly all of the city's land in the high-risk flood zone. During a storm tide, the sewer can surcharge and push water back up through the lowest drains. If a floor drain backs up only during storms, clearing the line won't fix it. A backwater (sewer check) valve on the house sewer closes when flow reverses. We install them, with a city permit, since Long Beach requires one for all plumbing.

Where your drain goes

Long Beach treats its own sewage at the Water Pollution Control Plant at 2 West Pine Street, one of the independent treatment plants Nassau County lists. Under the Long Beach Consolidation Project, Nassau County and the city are turning that plant into a fortified pump station with new pumps and backup power, with a force main under the bay to carry sewage to the county's South Shore Water Reclamation Facility. For a problem in the street sewer, call the city. For the line from your house to the street, call us.

Soft water, little iron

The city's 2025 water report shows total hardness of 5.0 to 31.6 mg/L, and iron of just 0.02 to 4.0 micrograms per liter after the Park Place plant filters it out. So mineral scale isn't what closes Long Beach drains. Grease, hair, wipes and, in older lines, roots are.

Questions

Drain cleaning in Long Beach: FAQ

The floor drain backs up only during storms. Is my pipe clogged?

Probably not. That's the sewer surcharging during a high tide. A backwater valve on your house sewer is the fix.

I'm in an apartment and my kitchen sink backs up with water I didn't put there. Why?

Your sink is likely on a shared line or stack that's blocked below you. Tell building management, and we can clear your unit's branch.

Is Long Beach on the county sewer?

Not yet. The city runs its own plant; the Consolidation Project is building a link to the county's South Shore plant.
