Water damage risks in Rhinebeck
Historic houses
Old houses have stone foundations, plaster walls and wide-plank floors. Many of these materials can be dried in place if drying starts quickly, which preserves the house and lowers the cost.
Weekend and second homes
Many Rhinebeck homes are weekend houses. A pipe that bursts while no one is there can run for days. Keep the heat at 55°F or higher and use a low-temperature alarm.
Wells and septic
Outside the village water and sewer system, homes rely on wells and septic. Failed pressure tanks and septic backups are common causes of basement water.
Water damage in Rhinebeck 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.
