Water damage risks in Central Islip
Heavy rain and the 2014 record storm
Central Islip is a few miles west of Islip MacArthur Airport, where 13.57 inches of rain fell in 24 hours in August 2014, the state record. That storm flooded homes and roads across the hamlet, and intense downpours still overwhelm local drainage.
Newer townhouses and condos
Newer attached housing means shared walls and ceilings. A leak in one unit often reaches the neighbor’s. Check your association documents for who covers what, and notify your HO-6 insurer.
Cesspools
Many homes use cesspools. When a backup happens, stop using water and call a cesspool service as well as a restoration company.

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.
