Water damage risks in Bayside
Single-family homes with basements
Bayside’s detached homes almost all have basements, many finished. Water heaters, boilers and laundry there are the usual sources of clean-water damage, and old sewer laterals clog with roots from mature street trees.
Co-ops and garden apartments
In Bay Terrace and the garden apartment complexes, units share walls and ceilings. The proprietary lease or bylaws decide who repairs what. Notify management and your HO-6 insurer right away.
Shoreline and low streets
Low areas along Little Neck Bay and the Cross Island Parkway are exposed to storm surge in coastal storms, and some inland streets collect water during cloudbursts.
Water damage in Bayside right now? Do this first
Shut off the water
In a house, the main valve is usually in the basement or cellar where the service line comes through the front wall, next to the meter. In an apartment building, call the super, who can shut off the riser. If a valve fails, call 311 and ask for the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to shut the curb valve.
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
Queens is on city sewers. If water is backing up from the street or neighbors are affected, report it to 311 so DEP can check the main. If only your building is affected, call a licensed plumber: in New York City, the house sewer line out to the main is the property owner’s responsibility.
