Water damage risks in Wantagh
South Wantagh flooding
The canal streets south of Merrick Road flooded in Sandy, and they remain the first to take water during coastal storms and extreme high tides. Floodwater is contaminated, so anything porous it touched should be removed, not just dried.
Frozen pipes
Wind off the bay drives cold into exposed walls, garages and crawl spaces. Pipes in those spots freeze in sharp cold snaps and burst when they thaw.
Postwar basements
Inland Wantagh homes typically have basements with the water heater, boiler and laundry. Those are where most clean-water losses start.
Water damage in Wantagh 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.
