Water damage risks in Brewster
Older buildings downtown
Mixed-use buildings with apartments over storefronts have older plumbing and heating and shared ceilings, so a leak upstairs can damage a business below. See commercial water damage.
Reservoirs, streams and low ground
The area’s streams and reservoir outlets rise in heavy rain and snowmelt, and homes on low ground near them can take water into basements.
Septic and wells in the town
Outside the village, most homes have wells and septic systems. Backups and well system failures are frequent causes of basement water.
Water damage in Brewster right now? Do this first
Shut off the water
Most Putnam homes have private wells: turn off the well pump at its breaker, then close the valve after the pressure tank. If you are on a village or water district system, close the main valve where the line enters the house, next to the meter.
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 Putnam homes use septic systems, and much of the county lies in New York City’s Croton watershed, where septic work is closely regulated by the county health department. If drains back up, stop using water and call a septic service company.
