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. Many waterfront properties fall in mapped flood zones, so documentation for flood claims matters as much as the drying itself. Water from the bay is not clean water, and sanitizing and removing affected materials is a bigger part of the job.
In practice, crews in Great River focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.
Crews also serve nearby Oakdale, East Islip and West Sayville. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Great River and mold remediation in Great River.
Drying continues until moisture readings return to acceptable levels, which varies with each job.
Prompt extraction and controlled drying can save many floors and walls. Porous materials soaked for days are harder to save.
Crews handle bay and surge flooding, which involves salt water and debris and usually needs more than drying alone.
Burst or frozen supply lines, failed sump pumps, appliance and water heater leaks, roof leaks, and storm flooding are among the usual causes in Great River.
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.
