Water damage risks in Highland
River bluffs and runoff
The land rises steeply from the Hudson. Heavy rain sends runoff down slopes and driveways into basements and garages, especially in homes built into the hillside.
Wells, septic and public water
The hamlet center has public water and sewer, while many homes outside it use wells and septic systems. Knowing which you have tells you who to call first when water backs up or a line bursts.
Winter freezes
Mid-Hudson winters bring long stretches below freezing. Pipes in garages, crawl spaces and exterior walls freeze, and ice dams form on older roofs.
Water damage in Highland right now? Do this first
Shut off the water
In villages and hamlets with public water, the main valve is usually in the basement where the line comes in, next to the meter, and the water department can shut the curb valve. On a private well, turn off the well pump at its breaker, then close the valve after the pressure tank.
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
Village centers such as New Paltz are sewered, while most rural homes use septic systems. For a sewer backup, stop using water and call a plumber and your municipality. On septic, stop using water and call a septic service company.
