Stop the water at its source first, before anything else.
Kill Power to Wet Areas
If it's safe to reach, cut power to any outlet or panel near standing water.

Plumbing in Huntington, Alexandria
Huntington is a Fairfax County neighborhood with an Alexandria mailing address, beside the Huntington Metro station at the southern end of the Yellow Line. Cameron Run runs along its northern edge and forms the border with the City of Alexandria before it reaches Hunting Creek and the Potomac River.
The neighborhood has a long record of flooding, with several significant incidents since 2002 and a major one in 2006. Fairfax County built the Huntington Levee between 2017 and 2019, a 2,800-foot levee and pumping station designed to protect roughly 160 homes in the FEMA-designated floodplain.
Local Plumbing Challenges
Cameron Run Floodplain
Roughly 160 homes sit in the FEMA-designated floodplain, so groundwater and storm-drain backflow remain real risks even with the levee in place.
Seepage the Levee Does Not Stop
The levee keeps Cameron Run in its channel and pumps ponded water back to the stream, but each home's own sump pump still handles seepage at the foundation.
Steady Sump Demand
Low ground near the run puts constant pressure on basement sumps, which makes pump age and battery backup matter more here.
Backflow From Storm Drains
When Cameron Run rises, backflow into sewer and drain lines is a concern, and a backwater valve is a common safeguard.

Before You CallWhat Huntington Homeowners Should Know
Pour a bucket of water into the pit and confirm the pump starts and drains it. A pump that runs hot or cycles constantly is already near the end of its service life.
A backwater valve in the sewer line can stop storm-drain backflow from reaching the basement. A technician can tell you whether your lateral is a good candidate.
Questions From Huntington
No. The levee keeps Cameron Run inside its channel and pumps ponded water back to the stream, but it does not stop groundwater seepage at an individual foundation. A working sump pump is still the first defense inside the house.
Standard policies generally exclude flood damage from rising water, while sudden pipe failures are often covered. Check your policy language and ask your agent about flood coverage for floodplain addresses.
