Water damage risks in Long Beach
Surge and bay-side flooding
Long Beach takes water from both sides: ocean surge during hurricanes and nor’easters, and bay-side flooding from Reynolds Channel at very high tides. Water entering from outside is flood damage, covered by flood insurance.
Saltwater and mechanicals
Saltwater corrodes furnaces, water heaters, electrical panels and wiring quickly. After any saltwater flooding, have mechanical and electrical systems inspected before they are restarted.
Elevated homes and ground-level spaces
Elevated homes protect living space, but garages, storage areas and pipes below the house are still exposed to floodwater and freezing.
Water damage in Long Beach 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.
