Call 631-614-5063Mastic Beach (11951) is in the Town of Brookhaven, along Suffolk's South Shore, close to Mastic, Shirley and Moriches. During Hurricane Sandy, flooding in Mastic Beach reached as deep as 4 feet and stretched about 2,000 feet inland from Moriches Bay, according to the National Weather Service.
Across Suffolk County, an estimated 380,000 homes and buildings rely on cesspools or septic systems, so sewage backups and failed systems are a distinct source of water damage here. On canal and bayfront lots, lower levels and mechanical systems are the usual places water reaches first. When heavy rain arrives at high tide, water has nowhere to go, and basements and first floors take it on.
That is why a quick call matters in Mastic Beach: the sooner drying starts, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
