New Hyde Park's older sewer laterals
Pre-1980 housing here is 93%, above the New York figure of 75%. That ranks 5th highest of the 73 New York cities we profile. Clay pipe lets roots in at the joints, cast iron scales and cracks, and the line from the house to the street belongs to the homeowner in most places.
87% of homes are detached houses with their own lateral, so a backup that keeps coming back is usually worth a camera inspection rather than another snaking.
In New York: Water ranges from soft in the New York City system to hard in parts of western New York.
