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. Rain on top of a high tide can overwhelm storm drains and sump pumps in low-lying bayfront neighborhoods. Because so many homes are in flood zones, careful photos and moisture readings support the claim as much as the equipment does.
For Oakdale property owners, that means starting extraction and drying early and documenting the loss carefully for the claim.
Nearby areas served include West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Oakdale and mold remediation in Oakdale.
Crews aim to respond quickly, day or night. Call and the current arrival estimate for Oakdale will be confirmed on the phone.
Shut off the water if possible, avoid electrical hazards, and photograph the damage before anything is moved.
A backup is sewage, not clean water, so crews contain the area, remove affected materials, and sanitize. Coverage for sewer or septic backup varies by policy, so ask your carrier.
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.
