Water damage risks in Franklin Square
Dormer bathrooms and second-floor plumbing
Many Franklin Square capes have upstairs bathrooms added in dormers. A failed wax ring, shower pan or supply line there shows up as a stain on the living room or kitchen ceiling below.
Basements and appliances
Washers, water heaters and boilers in the basement are frequent leak sources, especially in finished basements where water spreads under flooring.
Older sewer lines
House sewer lines from the postwar era crack and collect roots. Slow drains are a warning sign of a backup on the way.
Water damage in Franklin Square 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.
