Freeport (11520) is one of the communities along Nassau's South Shore; neighboring areas include Baldwin, Merrick and Roosevelt. Freeport was among the hardest-hit South Shore communities during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, when storm surge flooded a large number of homes.
That experience made flood damage a familiar problem here, and it has influenced how homeowners think about drying, documentation, and insurance. After the fire is out, water used to put it out frequently causes more damage than the flames, so drying and smoke cleaning go together. Corroded fittings and connections are more common near the bays, and they can be an ignition source. Puff-backs from aging heating systems are a recurring cause of soot damage in coastal homes.
For Freeport property owners, that means securing the property, cleaning soot and smoke residue thoroughly, and documenting everything for insurance.
