Water damage restoration in New Hyde Park, NY is the removal of water, the drying of the structure and the rebuild after leaks, floods and backups in the village and nearby streets. New Hyde Park has about 10,257 residents, and the 24/7 line takes calls from the village at any hour.
Neighborhoods and streets we hear from
Over 75 percent of the village's land is single-family housing, with warehouses near the Long Island Rail Road station and retail along Jericho Turnpike. That mix shapes the calls. Homeowners deal with supply line leaks, basement water and water heater failures, while shops and warehouses deal with roof leaks and burst pipes.
The village has 3,376 housing units and is split between two towns. Parts lie in the Town of Hempstead and parts in the Town of North Hempstead, so ask the Village of New Hyde Park which rules apply to your repair.
Who supplies the water
Depending on the street, water comes from the Garden City Park Water District or the Water Authority of Western Nassau County, so check your water bill before you call. The authority was created by New York State law. Knowing which one serves you matters if the main on the street breaks, because they are the ones to call.
