Water damage risks in Oceanside
South Oceanside flooding
Streets near the canals and wetlands flood at very high tides and during coastal storms. If bay water entered your home, treat it as contaminated floodwater and contact your flood insurer.
High water table
The water table is shallow in much of Oceanside, so basements see groundwater seepage after long wet spells. Sump pumps and backups work hard here.
Postwar homes
North of the flood-prone areas, Oceanside is mostly 1950s and 1960s homes with basements, aging water heaters and original plumbing.
Water damage in Oceanside 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.
