New RochelleShort answer
In New Rochelle the most common restoration call is a basement that took water in heavy rain or a coastal storm, followed by burst pipes in older houses and leaks that cross units in the newer downtown towers. Keep out of a flooding basement until the power is off, photograph the water line, and call.

Local conditions
What Ida showed along the Sound Shore
New Rochelle sits on the Long Island Sound, and when Ida came through, the Sound Shore towns were among the hardest hit in the county. A disaster recovery center opened in New Rochelle afterward to help residents with flooded basements file for help.
What that means on a job: a New Rochelle basement after a storm is treated as contaminated until we know the water was clean, because rain, brook overflow and sewer water often arrive together. Finished basements lose their carpet, pad and lower drywall, and the slab is dried and measured before anything goes back.
Sound Shore communities from Rye to New Rochelle to Mamaroneck were particularly hard hit by Ida, leaving many homeowners and renters with flooded basements.

The Sound Shore, the north end and downtown towers
Along the Sound Shore, around Davenport Neck, Premium Point and the blocks near Echo Bay, houses sit close to the water. Coastal and storm flooding, wind-driven rain and wet basements are the main jobs, and salt water means more removal than a fresh water leak.
In the north end and the older neighborhoods in the middle of the city, colonials and Tudors with finished basements are typical. Sump pump failures, water heater leaks and pipes on outside walls that freeze in winter account for most of the calls.
Downtown, new apartment towers now stand alongside older commercial blocks. In the towers, the usual call is a supply line or sprinkler leak that reaches several units; downtown shops and restaurants bring kitchen fires and flooded storerooms.
