Water damage risks in Seaford
Creeks and canals
Seaford’s waterfront streets flooded in Sandy, and Seaford Creek and the canals still back up into low streets during coastal storms and extreme tides.
Shallow groundwater
South of Sunrise Highway, the water table is high. Basements and crawl spaces stay damp, and seepage after wet weeks is common. Keeping humidity down with a dehumidifier helps prevent musty odors and mold.
Older water heaters and boilers
Many Seaford homes have basement mechanicals that have been replaced piecemeal over the decades. A tank that rusts through can release 40 to 80 gallons and keep refilling until the supply is shut off.
Water damage in Seaford 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.
