Prepare Now: Nor’easter Approaching NYC with Flood Threats

Attention New York City, Long Island, and Westchester residents: a powerful nor’easter is forecasted to hit on Tuesday, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and a significant risk of flooding. DASO Green Technologies urges homeowners and businesses to take immediate action to protect properties from potential damage.

Understanding Nor’easters and Their Impact

A nor’easter is a severe storm characterized by strong northeastern winds along the East Coast. These storms are notorious for causing substantial rainfall, coastal flooding, and powerful winds, especially in regions like NYC and Long Island. The low-pressure systems create high tides and storm surges, increasing the risk of severe flooding and property damage in our area.

Potential Risks to Your Home or Business

  • Basement Flooding: Water can quickly accumulate, leading to significant damage.
  • Roof Leaks: Strong winds and heavy rain can exploit any vulnerabilities in your roofing.
  • Drain Backups: Overwhelmed storm drains can lead to sewer backups in buildings.
  • Structural Saturation: Prolonged exposure to water can weaken walls and foundations.
  • Mold Growth: Moist conditions are ideal for mold to thrive, leading to health risks.
  • Electrical Hazards: Water intrusion can pose serious risks when it contacts electrical systems.

Act Now to Protect Your Property

The best time to prepare is now, before the storm arrives. Here are some essential steps to safeguard your property:

  • Clear Gutters: Remove debris to ensure water flows freely away from your property.
  • Check Sump Pumps: Ensure pumps are in good working condition to handle heavy water inflow.
  • Seal Entry Points: Inspect and seal any cracks around windows, doors, and foundations.
  • Elevate Valuables: Move important items and electronics to higher ground, away from potential flood areas.
  • Secure Outdoor Items: Bring in or tie down outdoor furniture and equipment to prevent them from becoming projectiles.
  • Know Your Water Shutoff: Familiarize yourself with your main water shutoff valve to prevent further water intrusion.
