Larchmont is a small Sound-shore village inside the town of Mamaroneck, built close to the water in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its small lots and basements near tide level take storm and rain water, and its neighbour Mamaroneck flooded in Ida. Ask whether the village or the town issues your permit. Call (833) 490-5225.
Larchmont is a small Sound-shore village inside the town of Mamaroneck, and the two places are close enough to share a flood history. It developed in the late 1800s and early 1900s as a commuter suburb, with houses built near the water on small lots.
Basements near tide level are the setting for most water problems here. A storm tide can reach the lowest rooms, and heavy rain running toward the shore can fill them from outside. Mamaroneck next door saw both its rivers overflow in Ida in September 2021, which is a reason to treat any storm-season basement here with care.
Permits depend on which government covers the address. Larchmont is a village within the town of Mamaroneck, so a repair may fall under the village or the town. Ask which one before work starts, and ask the same question about any inspection.

Storm tide and heavy rain both reach the lowest room of a house on a small Larchmont lot, and the water has few routes out. The first step is removing standing water. Then the walls and floor are opened where the water reached, so the framing can dry.
Keep photographs of the water line and of any damage above the basement. Flood water from outside and water from a pipe inside the house are handled differently, and a pipe that fails in the same house is a leak from the first call.
