Sewer Line Repair in Old Bethpage, NY
The run from a building in Old Bethpage out to the public main is the property owner’s responsibility, and in housing of this age it is the one material that cannot be ruled out by a date. There are 1,429 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1958 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Orangeburg cannot be ruled out by date in Old Bethpage, where housing typically dates from 1958 and the plumbing code still permitted bituminized fiber. What settles it is whether the pipe still holds a round section.
