Water damage risks in Dobbs Ferry
Hills and drainage
On sloped lots, rain runs toward the uphill side of a foundation and into basements and lower-level rooms. Window wells and basement doors on the uphill side are common entry points in heavy rain.
Older homes
Victorian and early 20th-century homes have plaster, old-growth wood floors and plumbing that has been patched over decades. Leaks often show up far from their source, because water follows framing and old chases.
Apartments and condos
Dobbs Ferry also has apartment and condo buildings, including near the river. For leaks from above, notify management first, then document and report to your insurer.
Water damage in Dobbs Ferry right now? Do this first
Shut off the water
In most Westchester homes, the main valve is in the basement where the water line comes in, next to the meter. In apartments, co-ops and condos, call the super or managing agent, who can shut off the riser. On a private well, 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
Most of southern and central Westchester is sewered, while many northern Westchester homes use septic systems. For a sewer backup, stop using water and call a plumber and your city, town or village. For septic, call a septic service company.
