Water damage risks in Bellmore
Canal neighborhoods
South Bellmore took heavy flooding in Sandy, and many homes were raised or rebuilt. The canals still overtop at very high tides, and saltwater that gets into garages and low rooms damages drywall, wiring and mechanicals quickly.
Sump pumps and power outages
Many Bellmore basements depend on sump pumps. A pump that fails, or loses power during a storm, lets water rise within hours. A battery backup and a high-water alarm are inexpensive insurance.
Everyday plumbing failures
Inland, most water damage comes from inside the house: supply lines to sinks and toilets, washing machine hoses, dishwasher connections and water heaters past their expected life.
Water damage in Bellmore right now? Do this first
Shut off the water
In most Nassau homes with a basement, the main valve is on the wall facing the street, next to the water meter. Your water district, village or water company can shut the curb valve if yours fails. The number is on your water bill.
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
Most of Nassau is on public sewers. If a basement drain backs up, stop using water. If only your home is affected, call a plumber to clear the house line. If neighbors are affected too, also call your sewer authority.
