Water damage risks in Massapequa
Canals and Sandy’s legacy
Superstorm Sandy pushed bay water deep into the canal streets south of Merrick Road in 2012, and thousands of Massapequa homes were damaged. Many have been raised or rebuilt since, but full-moon tides and nor’easters still put water over low bulkheads and into garages and crawl spaces.
High groundwater near the bay
Close to the water, the water table can sit only a few feet below the basement floor. After weeks of rain, water seeps through the floor slab and wall joint even when no storm is happening. Sump pumps here need a battery or water-powered backup.
Postwar plumbing north of Sunrise Highway
In the older inland neighborhoods and in Massapequa Park, the usual calls are burst pipes, worn washing machine hoses and water heaters that have reached the end of their lives in finished basements.
Water damage in Massapequa 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.
