Water damage risks in Lindenhurst
Canal neighborhoods and Sandy
Sandy flooded large parts of south Lindenhurst in 2012, and the village was one of the hardest-hit communities in Suffolk. Many homes have been elevated since, but the canal streets still flood at very high tides and in coastal storms.
Below elevated homes
Raised homes protect living space, but plumbing, ductwork and storage in the open area beneath are exposed to floodwater and to freezing in winter. Insulate pipes there and keep stored items off the ground.
Older homes north of Montauk Highway
North of the bay area, Lindenhurst has older homes with basements, aging boilers and original plumbing. Burst pipes and water heater failures are the usual calls.
Water damage in Lindenhurst 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.
