Water damage risks in Pleasant Valley
Wappinger Creek and the floodwall
The hamlet center is protected by a floodwall and levee along Wappinger Creek, designed to hold back a flood as large as the record flood of August 1955. Properties along the creek outside that protection still flood in major storms.
Wells and septic
A failed pressure tank or well line can flood a basement, and a septic backup sends wastewater into the lowest drain. Turn off the well pump at its breaker to stop the water.
Winter freezes
Pipes in garages, crawl spaces and outside walls are the first to freeze when temperatures drop into single digits.
Water damage in Pleasant Valley 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.
