Water damage risks in Glen Cove
Hills and runoff
Glen Cove is hilly. In heavy rain, water runs down steep streets and driveways toward the creek and the harbor, and homes at the bottom of a slope take it in through basement doors, window wells and garages.
Waterfront and the creek
Low areas along Glen Cove Creek and the harbor shoreline are exposed to storm surge in nor’easters and tropical storms. Water entering from outside is flood damage, which homeowners insurance does not cover.
Older buildings downtown
Older single-family, two-family and apartment buildings near downtown have aging supply lines, boilers and drains. A leak in a multifamily building usually affects more than one unit, so report it to the owner or managing agent right away.
Water damage in Glen Cove 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.
