Part of Greater Lindenhurst.
Wikipedia describes North Lindenhurst as part of the Greater Lindenhurst area anchored by the Incorporated Village of Lindenhurst, bordered by North Amityville to the west, East Farmingdale to the northwest, West Babylon to the northeast and the village to the south; most of it uses the Lindenhurst post office and school district. The CDP covers 1.9 square miles, all land.
The Census Bureau's latest five-year survey counts about 3,700 homes, with a median year built of 1962. 38% went up in the 1950s, 2% before 1940, and 15% after 1980. 74% are single-family detached houses, 14% are two-family, and 81% are owner-occupied.
So a typical house here has drain and water lines around 64 years old unless they've been replaced. Slow drains in several fixtures, a gurgling floor drain or rusty water from one tap are signs to have the main line and supply piping checked.
Oil to gas means new gas piping.
The ACS shows 49% of homes heat with utility gas and 42% with fuel oil. Switching means properly sized gas piping to the new equipment, and often to the water heater, range and dryer. We do the gas line work. We don't sell or deliver oil.
Mostly sewered.
Laying Suffolk County's sewer-district map over the Census boundary puts about 100% of the hamlet in the Southwest Sewer District (Sewer District 3). The rest is outside a district, where homes rely on cesspools or septic systems. Your tax bill shows a sewer district charge if you're in one. A backup that stops at your house is usually in your own line to the street; we clear it and repair or replace the line. If neighbors are backed up too, call Suffolk County DPW (Sewer District 3 / Southwest). If you're outside the district, the line runs to a cesspool or septic tank: we clear the line from the house, but a full or failing cesspool is a job for a cesspool or septic contractor, since we don't do cesspool work.
Little mapped flood risk.
FEMA's current flood map puts none of North Lindenhurst in the high-risk flood zone. A backwater (sewer check) valve is still worth considering for a finished basement on a sewered street: it closes if the street sewer backs up. We install them.
Water: Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA).
EPA's service-area map puts essentially all residents on the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA); your bill is the final word. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing, the main supplier's highest single PFOA/PFOS result was 17 parts per trillion. EPA's 4 ppt limits apply as a running annual average starting in 2029, so one high sample is not a violation, but it's the kind of number a carbon filter is sized against. For a leak at the curb or in the street, call your water supplier (SCWA: (631) 698-9500). For anything on your side of the meter, call us.
Permits.
North Lindenhurst is an unincorporated hamlet, so plumbing permits go through the Town of Babylon's Division of Building.
