Water damage risks in Lynbrook
Basements in older homes
Lynbrook basements were built before modern waterproofing. Water comes in at the joint between the floor and the foundation wall, through old window wells, and through cracks after long wet stretches.
Sewer laterals and heavy rain
Lynbrook is on public sewers. Old house laterals clog with roots, and very heavy rain can overload the system and push water back up floor drains. A backwater valve is the long-term fix for homes that back up repeatedly.
Low ground toward the south
The village slopes down toward East Rockaway and the bay. Low streets in the southern part of Lynbrook collect stormwater in heavy downpours, especially when storm drains are blocked by leaves.
Water damage in Lynbrook 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.
