Long Beach is a barrier-island city with its own water and sewer systems, many apartment buildings, and a long list of storms that have put water in its streets. That changes what counts as an emergency here and who you call. See our Long Beach page for the full local picture and the emergency plumber checklist.
Almost the whole city is in the flood zone
Our overlay of FEMA's flood map on the Census city boundary puts about 72% of the city's total area in the high-risk zone. About a quarter of that boundary is water, so in practice nearly all of the city's land is high-risk, and about 13% of the area is in the VE zone, where storm waves add to the flood. A state-funded NYSERDA study for the city lists the storms that flooded it, from the 1938 hurricane through Donna (1960), Gloria (1985), Irene and Lee (2011), Sandy (2012), Andrea (2013) and the January 2016 nor'easter.
When the water comes up
- Shut off gas appliances that are about to flood only if you can do it safely and dry. Don't relight a water heater, boiler or dryer that sat in saltwater until it's checked; salt ruins burners, gas valves and controls.
- Sewage coming up through a floor drain or tub during a storm tide means the sewer is surcharging. Stop using water. A backwater (sewer check) valve on the house sewer closes when flow reverses. We install them, with the city permit.
- If you smell gas, leave and call National Grid at 1-800-490-0045 or 911.
Leaks between units
The Census Bureau's latest survey says 39% of Long Beach homes are in buildings with five or more units, and 24% in buildings of 50 or more. Water coming through your ceiling may start in the unit above or in a shared riser. Tell the neighbor upstairs and the building's super or management right away, and close your fixture valves if water is near them. We find the source inside a unit; shared risers and stacks may be the building's responsibility.
Who to call
For a leak in the street or at the curb, call the City of Long Beach Water Department, (516) 431-5288. The city pumps its own water from seven wells and runs its own sewer plant at 2 West Pine Street, so a sewer problem in the street is the city's too. For your side of the meter, the house line and anything inside, call us.
After the emergency
All plumbing in Long Beach needs a city Building Department permit, and the city's definition of plumbing includes gas pipes and gas-burning equipment. So the emergency stop and the permanent repair of a water heater or gas line are often two steps.
