The village of Islandia (11749) sits in western Suffolk in the Town of Islip, near Hauppauge, Bohemia and Ronkonkoma. Record rainfall on August 13, 2014 flooded roads and basements across southwest Suffolk, with 13.26 inches measured at MacArthur Airport in Islip.
Many Suffolk properties use cesspools or septic systems instead of sewers, so a backup can bring sewage, not just water, into a home. Because Islandia filled in with suburban housing over many years, supply lines and water heaters of very different ages sit side by side from one block to the next. Housing and business districts sit close together here, so crews handle water losses in homes, shops, and small commercial buildings.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Islandia look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
Nearby areas served include Hauppauge, Bohemia and Ronkonkoma. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Islandia and mold remediation in Islandia.
Crews handle sewage backups with containment, removal, and sanitization of affected areas.
If it is safe, stop the water source, turn off power to affected areas, and move valuables to a dry place. Take photos for your insurance claim.
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.
Most policies cover sudden, accidental water damage such as burst pipes or appliance failures, while gradual leaks and flood coverage depend on the policy. Crews document the loss and can work directly with your carrier.
That depends on the water source and the damage. Contaminated water or electrical hazards can make a home unsafe, and crews can advise after a quick assessment.
