Water damage risks in White Plains
High-rise and condo leaks
In downtown towers, one failed supply line or water heater can affect several floors. Condo owners are usually responsible for their unit interiors and the building for common elements, so document the damage and notify both building management and your HO-6 insurer quickly.
Older homes in established neighborhoods
Homes in Battle Hill, Fisher Hill, Gedney Farms and along North Broadway often date from the 1920s to the 1950s. Original plaster, hardwood floors, boilers and galvanized pipes are common, and finished basements hide water behind the walls.
Offices, retail and medical space
White Plains has a large concentration of offices, stores and medical practices. Sprinkler pipe failures, roof drain leaks and supply-line breaks can shut a business down for days. See our commercial water damage page for how a commercial response is organized.
Water damage in White Plains 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.
