Water damage risks in Freeport
Canal and tidal flooding
Superstorm Sandy flooded large parts of south Freeport in 2012, and the canal neighborhoods still see flooding at very high tides and in nor’easters. Bay water is treated as contaminated floodwater, and it is covered by flood insurance, not homeowners insurance.
Elevated and rebuilt homes
Many canal-front homes were elevated after Sandy. Elevated homes still get water damage, usually from plumbing in the open space below the house, frozen pipes in that area, and stormwater around ground-level storage and garages.
Older housing north of Sunrise Highway
Older single-family and multifamily homes have aging plumbing and basements that take on water in heavy rain.
Water damage in Freeport 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.

Common questions
Water damage in Freeport: common questions
My Freeport home was elevated after Sandy. Can it still flood?
The living space is much safer, but enclosures, garages and storage below the house can still take on water, and pipes running under an elevated home are more exposed to freezing. Keep those pipes insulated and check the area after storms.
Do you serve the Nautical Mile businesses?
Yes. Restaurants, marinas and shops can call for commercial water damage help. See our commercial water damage page for how a commercial response works.
What does water damage restoration cost in Freeport?
It depends on how much is wet, the type of water and what has to be removed. As a rough guide for the New York area, a small clean-water leak often runs $1,000 to $3,500, and a finished basement $4,000 to $12,000, before repairs. The restoration company gives you its own estimate after inspecting. See our cost guide.
