Located along Nassau's South Shore, Massapequa (11758) is a short drive from Massapequa Park, Farmingdale and Wantagh. Massapequa is on the South Shore in a FEMA flood zone and was directly hit by Hurricane Sandy's surge in 2012.
Flood exposure combines with aging post-war plumbing in many Massapequa homes, which raises the stakes for any leak or flood. Fire departments respond quickly here, but water from firefighting often leaves a second round of damage that needs drying along with smoke cleanup. Salt air and moisture accelerate corrosion on electrical components, which can contribute to shorts and electrical fires. Because many properties were repaired or raised after flooding, older and newer systems often sit side by side.
For Massapequa property owners, that means securing the property, cleaning soot and smoke residue thoroughly, and documenting everything for insurance.
