White Plains homes and water damage
Gedney Farms and the Highlands have 1920s–1950s homes with basements. Downtown has many high-rise condos and apartments. Many Gedney Farms and Highlands homes are 1920s–1950s colonials and Tudors with finished basements, plaster walls and older plumbing. When a sump pump fails or a sewer backs up during heavy rain, water spreads across the lower level quickly. Downtown towers share plumbing stacks, so one leak can reach several units below.

White Plains questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in White Plains?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of White Plains Building Department.
Does insurance cover a flooded basement in White Plains?
It depends on the source. Burst pipes are often covered, sewer backup needs an endorsement, and groundwater flooding needs flood insurance.
