Brightwaters (11718) is one of the communities on the south side of Suffolk County; neighboring areas include West Islip, Bay Shore and 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.
Record rainfall on August 13, 2014 flooded roads and basements across southwest Suffolk, with 13.26 inches measured at MacArthur Airport in Islip. Low-lying streets near the water can flood from the bay and from the sky at the same time. Garages, lower enclosures, and mechanical equipment near the ground are the first to take on water, even in homes that were raised.
That is why a quick call matters in Brightwaters: the sooner drying starts, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
The same crews cover nearby West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Brightwaters and mold remediation in Brightwaters.
A backup is sewage, not clean water, so crews contain the area, remove affected materials, and sanitize. Coverage for sewer or septic backup varies by policy, so ask your carrier.
Crews handle bay and surge flooding, which involves salt water and debris and usually needs more than drying alone.
Drying continues until moisture readings return to acceptable levels, which varies with each job.
Trapped moisture inside walls and subfloors can lead to mold growth within a day or two, along with warped flooring and weakened materials.
The final cost depends on scope and materials. If the loss is covered, crews can bill the carrier directly.
