Water damage risks in Cold Spring
Historic houses
Many Cold Spring homes are well over a century old, with stone foundations, plaster walls, wood floors and plumbing updated in stages. Basements take water through old foundations, and hidden pipe leaks can run inside walls for weeks.
Steep hillsides
The village climbs steeply from the river. Runoff in heavy rain flows down streets and driveways into basements and lower floors, and small brooks rise quickly.
The tidal Hudson
The Hudson is tidal here, and the lowest ground along the riverfront can flood during storm tides and coastal storms.
Water damage in Cold Spring 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.
