Water damage risks in Woodmere
Low ground near the marshes
The southern edge of Woodmere is close to sea level. During Sandy in 2012, bay water flooded streets and basements across the Five Towns, and coastal storms and extreme tides still push water onto low roads.
Large homes with finished basements
Many Woodmere homes have extensive finished basements with bedrooms, playrooms or kitchens. When water gets in, there is a lot of drywall, flooring and cabinetry to dry or remove.
Heavy rain and backups
Woodmere is on public sewers. In intense rain, storm drains and sewers can back up into basements through floor drains and low fixtures.
Water damage in Woodmere 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.
