Water damage risks in Medford
Cesspools
Most Medford homes use cesspools or septic systems. A system that is full or failing backs up into the lowest drain, usually a basement floor drain or lower-level toilet. Stop using water until it is pumped.
Water heaters and appliances
Homes built in the same decades have water heaters, washing machines and supply lines reaching the end of their lives at similar times. A tank older than 10 to 12 years is worth replacing before it fails.
Frozen pipes
Inland Suffolk gets colder at night than the coast. Pipes in garages, crawl spaces and exterior walls are the ones that freeze and burst.
Water damage in Medford 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.
