Get Help Now →Great River is in the Town of Islip, on the south side of Suffolk County, close to Oakdale, East Islip and West Sayville. Sandy's surge in October 2012 set records on the Great South Bay, and bayfront communities like Great River still plan around it.
The August 2014 storm dropped a state-record 13.26 inches of rain on Islip, and basements in the surrounding area flooded. Low-lying streets near the water can flood from the bay and from the sky at the same time. Low elevation and a high water table near the bays make Great River more prone to flooding than inland communities.
In practice, crews in Great River focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.
Nearby areas served include Oakdale, East Islip and West Sayville. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Great River and mold remediation 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.
Coverage depends on the cause and your policy. Sudden events are commonly covered, and crews provide documentation for the claim.
Drying continues until moisture readings return to acceptable levels, which varies with each job.
Crews handle bay and surge flooding, which involves salt water and debris and usually needs more than drying alone.
Moisture left in walls and under floors encourages mold and can warp flooring and swell framing, so complete drying matters.
