Call 631-614-5063East Islip (11730) sits on Suffolk's South Shore, with Great River, Islip and Oakdale nearby. The National Weather Service recorded record flooding along the Great South Bay during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, with surge of roughly 6 to 7 feet on the southwest Suffolk shore.
The August 2014 storm dropped a state-record 13.26 inches of rain on Islip, and basements in the surrounding area flooded. Water from the bay is not clean water, and sanitizing and removing affected materials is a bigger part of the job. Low-lying streets near the water can flood from the bay and from the sky at the same time.
In practice, crews in East Islip focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.

Drying time varies with the extent of water, the materials, and conditions, and it is monitored until moisture readings reach normal levels.
