Water damage risks in Hyde Park
Public water, wells and septic
Parts of Hyde Park get water from the Poughkeepsie treatment plant, while many homes rely on private wells and septic systems. Know which you have before an emergency: on a well, you stop the water by turning off the pump.
Creeks and ravines
Streams such as Crum Elbow Creek cut ravines down to the Hudson. In intense storms they rise quickly and flood low roads and nearby basements.
Older homes and long winters
Older farmhouses and postwar homes have pipes in crawl spaces and outside walls that freeze in January cold snaps, and roofs that form ice dams.
Water damage in Hyde Park 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.
