Heavy Rain Causes Basement Flooding in NY and NJ
A night of heavy rain from a tropical storm remnant or nor'easter has led to widespread basement flooding across areas in New York and New Jersey, including Newburgh, Hoboken, and towns along the Passaic River basin. Locations such as Paterson, Clifton, Wayne, Suffern, and Spring Valley experienced river flooding and sewer backups, while combined sewers in Hoboken and Jersey City caused garden-level units to flood. The flooding has been attributed to rising surface water, sewer backups, and sump pump failures. Residents are advised to document damages thoroughly and take immediate action to mitigate further risks. The cleanup process involves water extraction, removal of damaged materials, and drying to prevent mold growth. Source time: not specified.
