Call 631-614-5063West Islip (11795) sits on Suffolk's South Shore, with Islip, Brightwaters and East Islip nearby. 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.
During the record rainfall of August 13, 2014, West Islip saw more than 10 inches, and local basements flooded. Garages, lower enclosures, and mechanical equipment near the ground are the first to take on water, even in homes that were raised. Because so many homes are in flood zones, careful photos and moisture readings support the claim as much as the equipment does.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in West Islip look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
