Westchester County
Water damage & mold help in Yonkers, NY
Yonkers sits on hills along the Hudson River just north of New York City, with dense apartment buildings, older multi-family homes and single-family neighborhoods like Crestwood. The remnants of Ida in 2021 caused severe flash flooding across Westchester, including along the Saw Mill River, and older plumbing and basements make water damage common.

Yonkers homes and water damage
Older multi-family homes and pre-war apartment buildings stack plumbing between units, and many homes on steep streets have basements where runoff collects. Many older buildings have original cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines that corrode and leak, and some homes have basement apartments.
Flash flooding
Heavy rain, like Ida's remnants in 2021, overwhelms drainage and floods basements and low streets.
Apartment and multi-family leaks
Leaks in older buildings travel between units, splitting responsibility among owners, landlords and insurers.
Hillside runoff
Steep terrain sends stormwater against foundations, flooding basements.
Frozen pipes
Cold winters freeze pipes in older homes and exterior walls.
Aging apartment risers
In older apartment buildings, failing riser valves and supply lines can send water down through several units before the building shuts off the water.
Saw Mill River flooding
The Saw Mill River runs through Yonkers, and heavy rain can push it over its banks, flooding nearby streets and basements, as during Ida in 2021.
