Longwood landmarks and what sits under them
Longwood has a historic downtown, and SR 434 connects it to US 17-92 and the I-4 exit. The Woodlands subdivision sits where the Longwood Slade grass airstrip closed in the late 1960s. Ask what year your home was built, since pipe age varies by neighborhood.
Big Tree Park at 761 General Hutchison Parkway is home to Lady Liberty, a bald cypress about 2,000 years old, and it is the trailhead of the Cross Seminole Trail. Spring Hammock Preserve, at 2985 Osprey Trail, covers about 1,500 acres and reaches Lake Jesup on its east side. Big Tree Park is a landmark for directions. Roots are a cause of repeat clogs in any older line.
The 32779 ZIP carries the Wekiva Springs name as an alias. We cover it the same as 32750.
Before we arrive in Longwood
Backups and bursts both do more harm the longer they run. Start with these.
Shut the main valve
Turn the water main off if a pipe has burst or a fixture is flooding. If the problem is only a drain, shutting it off still limits what flows into the backup.
Kill power to wet areas
Switch off breakers for any room with standing water or sewage, only from a dry panel. Keep outlets and cords out of the wet area.
Clear the area
Stop running sinks, showers and the washing machine. Move rugs and boxes off the floor, and keep children and pets away from any sewage.
Call the 24/7 line
Call (407) 964-8940. Tell us which fixtures back up and whether water rises when another one runs.

Sewer lines: find the failure before you dig
When several drains slow down at once, the problem is rarely at one sink. It sits in the main line, where roots, a sag or a cracked joint catch debris. A camera run shows which one, and measures how far from the house it sits.
Sewer line repair then depends on what the camera found. A short broken section can be replaced by itself. A long cracked run may suit cured-in-place lining, where a resin-soaked liner is cured inside the old pipe. Lining does not fix a pipe that has collapsed or has a belly that holds water.
We tell you which options fit before work starts.
Sewage in the house is a health issue. Keep people and pets out of the wet area, avoid touching it with bare hands and wash well afterward. We do not give medical advice, so call your doctor if someone feels ill.
Septic, sewer and who handles what
Longwood runs a septic-to-sewer conversion program through the city's utilities pages, so it helps to know what your house uses.
Know your connection
Check your bill or the city map. If you are unsure, ask the city Utilities Division whether your address is on sewer.
Where city responsibility ends
Ask the city Utilities Division where its responsibility ends and yours begins. We do not guess at ownership.
Septic work
Tank service is a separate trade from household plumbing. We inspect the house lines and tell you if the trouble looks like it sits on the tank side.
Permits
Permit rules vary, so ask your local building department before major sewer work.
Slow drains that come back
A single clog responds to a snake. A drain that keeps returning is different. Roots from nearby trees, grease buildup and bellied pipe all hold material between cleanings.
Drain cleaning with a cable clears the stoppage. If it returns within weeks, we recommend a camera look. Our sewer inspection work shows the cause on a screen before any digging, and it is a good idea before buying an older house.
A camera cannot see inside a slab, so we explain what it can and cannot show.

We do not promise an arrival time. We tell you what to shut off while you wait.
A sink clog stays in one fixture. If a tub gurgles when a toilet flushes, or two or more fixtures back up together, the main line is the likely cause.
Stop using water and call. More water makes the backup worse.
They can. Roots enter at joints and cracks in older pipe and catch debris. A camera shows them, and cutting or lining the pipe is chosen from what we see.
Roots can grow back, so we explain the options honestly.
Longwood has a septic-to-sewer conversion program. If you are converting, ask the city Utilities Division about the steps and costs on its side.
