Located along Suffolk's South Shore in the Town of Islip, West Islip (11795) is a short drive from Islip, Brightwaters and East Islip. 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. Water from the bay is not clean water, and sanitizing and removing affected materials is a bigger part of the job. Low-lying streets near the water can flood from the bay and from the sky at the same time.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in West Islip look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
The same crews cover nearby Islip, Brightwaters and East Islip. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in West Islip and mold remediation in West Islip.
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.
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.
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.
Safety depends on contamination and electrical conditions. Crews assess the situation and advise on whether to stay.
