Water damage risks in Elmont
Flash flooding and street drainage
Dense blocks with little open ground mean heavy rain runs off fast. In intense storms, storm drains back up and water flows into low driveways, garages and basement stairwells.
Sewer line backups
Elmont is on public sewers. Old clay and cast-iron house lines crack and fill with roots, and a blockage sends wastewater up through the lowest drain in the house. Treat it as contaminated and stop using water until it is cleared.
Finished basements
Many Elmont families use the basement as living space. When water gets in, carpet, drywall and insulation hide moisture that keeps the space damp for weeks unless it is dried professionally.
Water damage in Elmont 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.
