Water damage risks in Ozone Park
Basement apartments
Many Ozone Park houses have basement living space. When a cloudburst overwhelms the sewers, water comes up through floor drains and down basement stairs fast. If you live below ground, know your way out and leave early when a flash flood warning is issued.
Older frame houses
Older wood-frame houses have aging plumbing, roofs and gutters. Leaks around chimneys and roof valleys and burst pipes in uninsulated walls are common winter calls.
Sewer connections
In New York City, property owners are responsible for the house sewer line out to the city main. Roots and old clay or cast-iron pipe are frequent causes of backups.
Water damage in Ozone Park 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.
