Housing in East Elmhurst — and what goes wrong
Most East Elmhurst blocks are lined with attached and semi-detached brick houses and two-family homes, many with finished basements, a boiler and a separate water heater. Some blocks closer to Flushing Bay sit lower, so basement drains and backwater valves matter here.
East Elmhurst through the seasons
Summer thunderstorms bring basement backups; winter brings no-heat calls from older boilers. No-heat calls rise during NYC's heat season, October 1 – May 31.

Questions from East Elmhurst customers
Why does my basement drain back up in heavy rain?
Often it's a partial blockage in the main line or a missing or failed backwater valve. We clear the line and check the valve.
