West Islip (11795) is one of the communities on Suffolk's South Shore; neighboring areas include Islip, Brightwaters and East Islip. The National Weather Service recorded record flooding along the Great South Bay during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, with surge of roughly 6 to 7 feet on the southwest Suffolk shore.
More than 10 inches of rain fell in West Islip during the record storm of August 13, 2014, according to local reports. Low-lying streets near the water can flood from the bay and from the sky at the same time. On canal and bayfront lots, lower levels and mechanical systems are the usual places water reaches first.
For West Islip property owners, that means starting extraction and drying early and documenting the loss carefully for the claim.
Nearby areas served include Islip, Brightwaters and East Islip. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in West Islip and mold remediation in West Islip.
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.
Crews handle bay and surge flooding, which involves salt water and debris and usually needs more than drying alone.
Safety depends on contamination and electrical conditions. Crews assess the situation and advise on whether to stay.
Drying continues until moisture readings return to acceptable levels, which varies with each job.
Shut off the water if possible, avoid electrical hazards, and photograph the damage before anything is moved.
