Water damage risks in New City
Finished basements and lower levels
Split-levels and high ranches put family rooms, laundry and the water heater partly below grade. A failed sump pump, water heater or washing machine hose soaks carpet and drywall quickly.
Sump pumps and storms
Many New City basements rely on sump pumps that run hard in spring and during summer downpours. When the power goes out in a storm, the water rises. A battery backup and a high-water alarm are inexpensive protection.
Sewer laterals
Clarkstown is largely served by Rockland County Sewer District No. 1. The house lateral between your home and the street is still the owner’s responsibility, and roots and age cause backups through basement drains.
Water damage in New City 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.
