Water damage risks in Great Neck
Co-ops and apartment buildings
In Great Neck Plaza’s apartment buildings, water moves down through ceilings and walls. A leak can start in one unit and damage several below it. Tell the super or managing agent first, then your HO-6 or renters insurer. The building’s proprietary lease or bylaws decide who repairs what.
Large homes and long pipe runs
Bigger houses mean more bathrooms, longer pipe runs and more places for a leak to hide, including second-floor laundry rooms and pipes in exterior walls that can freeze. Automatic leak detectors and shut-off valves are worth considering.
Shoreline and storm flooding
Homes along the shore of Little Neck Bay and Manhasset Bay face storm surge in strong nor’easters and tropical storms, and low streets near the water flood in heavy rain at high tide.
Water damage in Great Neck 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.

Water from the apartment above damaged my Great Neck co-op. Who pays?
