Why water gets into Huntington Station homes
Flooding is rarely the problem in Huntington Station: none of its built-up land is in FEMA's flood zone. For homes here, the risks to know are water getting into the basement, a pipe that freezes and splits, a full or failing cesspool and an aging pipe giving way.
- Water in the basement. Huntington Station's groundwater, about 118 ft down on average, is out of a basement floor's reach, so a wet basement means water is getting in from a pipe, a window well or the gutters. Water drains quickly through the ground in Huntington Station; a puddle that lingers beside the foundation is worth fixing with a downspout extension or regrading before it reaches the basement. Basement Flooding help in Huntington Station
- A burst pipe. A frozen pipe that has not split yet can be saved: open the tap and warm the line gently from the tap end back, never with a flame. About 42% of Huntington Station's homes heat with fuel oil, and a tank that runs dry in a cold snap takes the heat with it; pipes in outside walls and crawlspaces freeze first. Frozen Pipe Burst help in Huntington Station
- Sewage coming up a drain. Standard homeowners policies usually exclude sewage backup unless a water-backup endorsement was added, so check yours and photograph the damage before cleanup starts. At 9,393 of the 9,656 addresses in Huntington Station, wastewater goes to a cesspool or septic tank because no sewer main is mapped past them, so a full or failing system can push sewage back into the house. With public sewer covering about 5% of its built-up land, Huntington Station is a mix of sewered and cesspool streets, and a backup has a different cause on each. Cesspool Overflow help in Huntington Station
- A leak in a wall or ceiling. Mold can start on wet drywall within a day or two, so a slow leak needs the wall opened and dried, not just the pipe fixed. About 69% of Huntington Station's homes were built before 1970, and pipes from that era, galvanized steel and cast iron, corrode from the inside until a joint or a section gives way.
