Water damage risks in Huntington
Hills and stormwater
Huntington sits on the hilly North Shore. In downpours, water rushes down sloped streets and long driveways toward the harbor and collects at low points, flooding basements and garages at the bottom of a hill.
Older homes near the village
Older houses near downtown have stone or block foundations that let water through, plaster walls, and plumbing that has been patched over many decades. Leaks behind walls and basement seepage are common.
Cesspools outside the sewered downtown
The downtown area is connected to a sewer district, but most Huntington homes use cesspools or septic systems. A backup into the lowest drain in the house means the system needs pumping or repair before you run water again.
Water damage in Huntington 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.
