Water damage risks in Amityville
Canals and Amityville Creek
South Amityville’s waterfront streets flooded in Sandy, and storm surge and very high tides still bring bay water over bulkheads and into low garages and basements.
Large older homes
Many of the village’s historic houses have original plaster, hardwood floors, old foundations and plumbing modernized only in parts. Water damage needs careful drying to save original materials.
High water table
Near the bay, groundwater sits close to the surface, so basements see seepage after extended rain. Sump pumps should have a battery backup.
Water damage in Amityville right now? Do this first
Shut off the water
The main valve is usually where the water line enters the house, often on the basement wall facing the street. The Suffolk County Water Authority or your local water district can shut the curb valve. Homes on private wells can 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
About 74% of Suffolk homes use cesspools or septic systems. If drains back up, stop using water and call a cesspool service company to pump and inspect the system. If you are on a sewer district, call a plumber and the district.
