Water damage risks in Central Valley
Hillside runoff
The hamlets sit in a valley between wooded ridges. Heavy rain runs down long driveways and slopes into basements, garages and window wells, especially on lots cut into a hill.
Wells, pumps and pressure tanks
Many homes have private wells. A failed pressure tank, a burst line from the well or a water softener leak can flood a basement quickly. Shut off the well pump at its breaker first.
Winter freezes
Inland Orange County is much colder than the city. Pipes in garages, crawl spaces and outside walls freeze in January cold snaps, and ice dams form on roofs with limited insulation.
Water damage in Central Valley right now? Do this first
Shut off the water
On city, village or town water, the main valve is usually where the line enters the basement, next to the meter, and your water department can shut the curb valve. Many homes outside the villages have private wells: turn off the well pump at its breaker, then close the valve after the pressure tank.
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
Cities and villages such as Newburgh are sewered, while many homes in the surrounding towns use septic systems. For a sewer backup, stop using water and call a plumber and your municipality. On septic, stop using water and call a septic service company to pump and inspect the system.
