Call 631-614-5063Brightwaters (11718) is an incorporated village in the Town of Islip, on Suffolk's South Shore, close to West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 brought record coastal flooding to the Great South Bay, with a surge of roughly 6 to 7 feet along the southwest Suffolk shore, according to the National Weather Service.
On August 13, 2014, 13.26 inches of rain fell at MacArthur Airport in Islip, a New York State 24-hour record that flooded parts of southwest Suffolk. Low elevation and a high water table near the bays make Brightwaters more prone to flooding than inland communities. Low-lying streets near the water can flood from the bay and from the sky at the same time.
In practice, crews in Brightwaters focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.

Yes. Salt-water flooding calls for extraction, removal of contaminated materials, sanitizing, and thorough drying, and documentation matters for flood-policy claims.
Sewage from a failed cesspool or septic system needs containment and sanitizing, not just drying. Many policies treat backups separately, so check what yours covers.
Safety depends on contamination and electrical conditions. Crews assess the situation and advise on whether to stay.
If it is safe, stop the water source, turn off power to affected areas, and move valuables to a dry place. Take photos for your insurance claim.
