City on the Hudson in northern Westchester · Westchester County
Water Damage Restoration in Peekskill, NY
Peekskill climbs steeply from the Hudson River waterfront to a downtown of Victorian and early 20th-century buildings, then up into hillside neighborhoods. Annsville Creek and Peekskill Hollow Brook run along its northern edge, and northern Westchester winters are colder than those closer to the city.

Water damage risks in Peekskill
Hillside runoff into basements
Steep lots and streets send rainwater toward foundations, garages and basement doors. In intense storms, water can enter faster than a sump pump can handle. Extending downspouts and regrading soil away from the house help.
Older homes and colder winters
Many Peekskill homes are more than a century old, with pipes in exterior walls and fieldstone or block foundations. Hard freezes split pipes, and water seeps through old foundations during long wet spells.
Waterfront and creek flooding
Low areas near the riverfront and along Annsville Creek can flood in heavy rain and high water on the Hudson. Damage from outside floodwater is covered only by flood insurance.
Water damage in Peekskill 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.

Water damage in Peekskill: common questions
Water comes through my Peekskill basement wall every big storm. What can I do?
Start outside: clean gutters, extend downspouts well away from the foundation, and grade soil away from the house. If water still comes in, a waterproofing contractor can look at interior drainage and a sump pump. Dry the basement fully after each event to prevent mold.
