Water damage risks in Haverstraw
Haverstraw Bay
Low streets along the waterfront are exposed to Hudson storm tides. Sandy’s surge in 2012 flooded shoreline areas around Haverstraw Bay, and nor’easters still push water onto the lowest ground.
Older and multi-family housing
Haverstraw has many older brick and frame homes and multi-family buildings. Aging plumbing, roof leaks and water moving between units are the most common calls.
The Minisceongo Creek
The creek runs through Garnerville and Haverstraw to the river. In intense rain it rises quickly, and homes on low ground near it can take water into basements.
Water damage in Haverstraw right now? Do this first
Shut off the water
The main valve is usually in the basement where the water line comes through the front wall, next to the meter. Most of Rockland is served by Veolia Water New York, which can shut the curb valve if yours fails; the number is on your bill. On a private well, turn off the well pump at its breaker.
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 of Rockland is sewered. Rockland County Sewer District No. 1 serves Ramapo and Clarkstown, and Orangetown and other towns run their own systems. If only your home backs up, call a plumber to clear the house line; if neighbors are affected, call your sewer district. On septic, call a septic service company.
