Water damage risks in Rockville Centre
The Mill River corridor
The Mill River runs south from Hempstead Lake State Park through the village toward the bay. Homes on low ground near the river and its ponds see standing water and wet basements in heavy rain.
Older plumbing and heating
Many houses still have galvanized supply pipes, cast-iron drains and steam or hot-water radiators. Old radiator valves and boiler connections leak, and galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside until it fails.
Downtown apartments
In the apartment buildings near Sunrise Highway and the station, a single leak often reaches the units below. Tenants should report it in writing to the landlord or managing agent, and owners should notify their insurer early.
Water damage in Rockville Centre 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.
