Water damage risks in Fishkill
Fishkill Creek
Dutchess County’s hazard plan lists the village as vulnerable to flooding from Fishkill Creek and its tributaries. Properties on low ground along the creek can flood in heavy rain and spring thaw.
Condos and apartment complexes
Many residents live in attached housing near Route 9 and I-84. Leaks travel between units, so notify the association or landlord quickly and check your HO-6 or renters policy.
Wells, septic and winter
Outside the water and sewer districts, many homes rely on wells and septic. Frozen pipes, failed pressure tanks and septic backups are common winter and spring calls.
Water damage in Fishkill right now? Do this first
Shut off the water
On city, village or district water, the main valve is usually in the basement next to the meter, and the water department can shut the curb valve. Many Dutchess homes have private wells: turn off the well pump at its breaker, then close the valve after the pressure tank.
Stay safe around electricity
Do not walk through water near outlets, appliances or the panel. Turn off power at the breaker only from a dry spot.
If drains are backing up
Cities and villages such as Poughkeepsie and Beacon are sewered, while most homes in the surrounding towns use septic systems. For a sewer backup, stop using water and call a plumber and your municipality. On septic, stop using water and call a septic service company.
