Hicksville, Nassau County
Hicksville is a large hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay, built around one of the Long Island Rail Road’s busiest stations. JPR Plumbing helps Hicksville homeowners with leaks, clogged drains, sewer backups, and water heater problems. Call us to describe the issue and set up an appointment.
Much of Hicksville grew quickly in the years after World War II, and many houses from that era have since been expanded with dormers, finished basements, and added bathrooms. Each addition connected new plumbing to the original system, and those connection points are often where leaks and drainage problems start.
A bathroom added upstairs, for example, sends more water through a drain line that was sized for a smaller house. A finished basement may hide pipes and valves behind walls. Knowing the history of your home helps us find problems faster. Tell us what has been changed over the years when you call, and if you want more background first, read about the plumbing problems that most often need attention in homes like yours.
We will ask which fixtures are affected, whether water is still running, and how long the problem has been going on, so we can judge how urgent it is.
01
When water is pouring from a fixture or the house has none, quick action limits the damage. We help bring it under control.
02
Pipes in garages, crawl spaces, and exterior walls are the most likely to freeze. We repair burst pipes and test the line.
03
Leaks often start where new plumbing meets old. We find active leaks and repair the connection that failed.
04
Added bathrooms and busy kitchens put more demand on drain lines. We clear stubborn clogs and check the pipe.
05
Wastewater at a basement drain usually means the sewer line is blocked. We help find the blockage and clear it.
06
We repair toilets that run, rock, leak at the base, or overflow, from simple parts to a full reset.
07
A water heater that leaks, rumbles, or cannot keep up with an expanded household gets a full check.
08
Pipes hidden behind finished walls can leak unnoticed. We help locate concealed leaks with minimal disruption.
09
For homes with sump pumps, we repair pumps that fail to start, clog, or run constantly during heavy rain.
Warning signs
Expanded homes like these commonly run into:
Most can be scheduled. A burst pipe or sewage coming up a drain should be handled immediately.
Local considerations
Hicksville draws its water from deep underground, like the rest of Long Island. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s groundwater overview describes the Long Island aquifers as among the most productive in the country.
Sewer Authority. Nassau County lists its Department of Public Works as the sewer authority for Hicksville. The line from your house to the street is generally the owner’s responsibility.
Access Panels. If your basement is finished, leave access panels near the main shut-off, cleanouts, and any valves so repairs do not require opening walls.
Water Heater Sizing. When a household grows or a bathroom is added, the original water heater may no longer be large enough. Running out of hot water early is a common sign.

Questions
The new fixtures may be sending more water through an older drain line than it was sized for, or a connection may have been made at a poor angle. A plumber can check the layout.
Look for stains, warped baseboards, musty odors, or a meter that moves with all water off. A plumber can help narrow down the location before any wall is opened.
Many tank water heaters last around 8 to 12 years, depending on water quality and maintenance. Watch for rust, leaks, or less hot water than usual.
Stop using water in the house, keep people away from the area, and call. Avoid chemical cleaners, which can make the repair more hazardous.
Flushing removes sediment that reduces efficiency and causes rumbling. It is best done regularly from the start; older tanks that were never flushed should be checked first.
Yes. List everything when you call, such as a dripping faucet, a running toilet, and a slow drain, so they can be handled together.
Call (833) 603-1840 Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., or use the form to tell us your street and what is going on.
