A house sewer in Long Beach runs through low-lying ground beside the bay, into a city sewer system that storms have damaged before. See also our Long Beach page and sewer line repair and hookups across Long Island.

A city system, changing hands

Long Beach became a city in 1922, separate from the Town of Hempstead, and it still runs its own sewer collection system and Water Pollution Control Plant at 2 West Pine Street. Nassau County counts the city's plant among the ten independent treatment facilities in the county. The Long Beach Consolidation Project, a partnership of the county's Department of Public Works and the city, is converting the plant into a fortified pump station and building a force main beneath the Western Bays to the county's South Shore Water Reclamation Facility. The street sewer is the city's. The line from your building out to it is the owner's, and that's what we repair or replace.

What storms do to sewer lines

A NYSERDA study for the city says Sandy damaged sewer and water lines, wells and pumping and lift stations, and knocked the sewer plant out for 7 days. The same study lists more than a dozen other storms that flooded the city since 1938. Our overlay of FEMA's flood map puts nearly all of the city's land in the high-risk zone, and about 13% of the city's area in the VE zone, where waves add to the surge. Flood water and saltwater get into house sewers through cleanouts and broken joints, and soil that washes or settles around a pipe can leave it sagging or cracked.

Backwater valves

When the street sewer surcharges during a storm tide, sewage looks for the lowest opening, often a basement floor drain or a ground-floor tub. A backwater (sewer check) valve on the house sewer closes when flow reverses. In Long Beach it's often worth adding when the line is already open for a repair. It needs to be kept clear and checked from time to time, especially after a storm. We install them, with the city permit.

Old lines in a dense city

The Census Bureau's latest survey says 23% of Long Beach homes were built before 1940, and the median year built is 1961. 20% are two-family houses. Older lines here are often cast iron, which rusts faster in salty, wet ground, or clay, which roots can open. The signs of a failing line are the same as anywhere: backups that return soon after clearing, sewage odor, and sinking ground over the line.

Questions

Sewer line repair in Long Beach: FAQ

Who fixes a backup in the street?

The City of Long Beach; it owns the street sewers and the plant. We fix the line from your house to the street.

Should I add a backwater valve?

In Long Beach, where nearly all of the land is in FEMA's high-risk flood zone, it's worth considering, especially if your basement or ground floor has drains. We install them with a city permit.

Will the Consolidation Project change my house connection?

The project changes where the city's sewage is treated, by pumping it to the county's South Shore plant. It doesn't move your connection to the street sewer.
