Water damage risks in Valley Stream
Low areas and heavy rain
Parts of Valley Stream sit low, close to streams and ponds that drain south toward the bay. In intense rain, storm drains back up and water collects on streets and in basements.
Sewer backups
Older homes have older sewer laterals that crack and fill with roots. A backup shows first at the lowest drain, usually in the basement.
Older homes
Many homes have original plumbing, older boilers and plaster walls, along with finished basements that hide water behind paneling and drywall.
Water damage in Valley Stream 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.
