Water damage risks in Hicksville
Postwar plumbing
Original copper and galvanized lines are now 70 years old in many Hicksville homes. Pinhole leaks inside walls, failed fittings and corroded shut-off valves are common, and an old main valve that will not close is a problem you only discover in an emergency. Test yours.
Split-levels and lower levels
Split-level homes have a lower level partly below grade. Heavy rain, a failed sump pump or a backed-up laundry drain puts water there first, often under carpet or laminate.
Commercial properties
Hicksville has a large number of stores, offices and restaurants. For businesses, see commercial water damage.
Water damage in Hicksville 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.
