Water damage risks in Stony Point
Sandy and the shoreline
Sandy’s surge in October 2012 swallowed much of the Stony Point waterfront. About 120 homes along the Hudson shore flooded, including about 70 in the Ba Mar mobile home park, and many were later demolished. The town has since tightened its flood rules for the shoreline.
Hills and runoff
Inland, the town rises toward Harriman State Park. Runoff from the hills floods basements and low driveways during heavy rain and snowmelt.
Winter freezes
Northern Rockland is colder than the county’s southern villages. Pipes in garages, crawl spaces and outside walls are the first to freeze.
Water damage in Stony Point 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.
