Water damage risks in Commack
Finished basements and lower levels
High ranches and split-levels put living space partly below grade. Water from a failed sump pump, water heater or laundry drain spreads under carpet and laminate and wicks up drywall.
Winter freezes and ice dams
Pipes in garages and exterior walls freeze in hard cold, and ice dams form on roofs with limited attic insulation, pushing water into upstairs ceilings.
Cesspools
Most Commack homes are on cesspools or septic systems. Backups usually show first at a basement drain or lower-level bathroom.
Water damage in Commack 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.
