Located on Suffolk's South Shore in the Town of Islip, Oakdale (11769) is a short drive from West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. 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.
Record rainfall on August 13, 2014 flooded roads and basements across southwest Suffolk, with 13.26 inches measured at MacArthur Airport in Islip. On canal and bayfront lots, lower levels and mechanical systems are the usual places water reaches first. Low elevation and a high water table near the bays make Oakdale more prone to flooding than inland communities.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Oakdale look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
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 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.
Coverage depends on the cause and your policy. Sudden events are commonly covered, and crews provide documentation for the 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.
Prompt extraction and controlled drying can save many floors and walls. Porous materials soaked for days are harder to save.
