Great River is in the Town of Islip, on the south side of Suffolk County, close to Oakdale, East Islip and West Sayville. Sandy's surge in October 2012 set records on the Great South Bay, and bayfront communities like Great River still plan around it.
The August 2014 storm dropped a state-record 13.26 inches of rain on Islip, and basements in the surrounding area flooded. Low-lying streets near the water can flood from the bay and from the sky at the same time. Salt water and sediment from bay flooding call for different cleanup and disposal steps than a plumbing leak.
For Great River property owners, that means starting extraction and drying early and documenting the loss carefully for the claim.
The same crews cover nearby Oakdale, East Islip and West Sayville. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Great River and mold remediation in Great River.
Crews handle bay and surge flooding, which involves salt water and debris and usually needs more than drying alone.
Crews handle sewage backups with containment, removal, and sanitization of affected areas.
Safety depends on contamination and electrical conditions. Crews assess the situation and advise on whether to stay.
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.
Burst or frozen supply lines, failed sump pumps, appliance and water heater leaks, roof leaks, and storm flooding are among the usual causes in Great River.
