Water damage risks in West Babylon
South Shore storm flooding
The neighborhoods closest to the bay, south of Montauk Highway, face tidal and storm surge flooding. Superstorm Sandy hit the Town of Babylon’s South Shore hard in 2012, flooding homes along the bay and its canals.
Basements and groundwater
Closer to the bay, groundwater sits higher and basements see seepage after long rainy periods. Sump pumps with backup power are worth having.
Cesspools and sewers
Parts of the Town of Babylon are sewered and others rely on cesspools. Check your tax bill for a sewer district charge to know which you have before a backup happens.
Water damage in West Babylon 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.
