Water damage risks in East Meadow
Aging plumbing in expanded homes
Many East Meadow homes have had dormers, second floors and new bathrooms added over the years, connected to plumbing that is 60 or more years old. Joints between old and new pipe, and bathrooms over finished rooms, are common leak sources.
Water heaters and boilers
Water heaters and boilers usually sit in the basement next to finished space. When a tank fails, it can keep refilling until the cold-water supply to it is shut off. Know where that valve is.
Storm drains and backups
East Meadow is on public sewers. In heavy downpours, low spots on the street can flood and house sewer lines can back up into basement floor drains, especially where tree roots have grown into older lines.
Water damage in East Meadow 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.
