Great River is one of the communities on Suffolk's South Shore; neighboring areas include Oakdale, East Islip and West Sayville. 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.
Record rainfall on August 13, 2014 flooded roads and basements across southwest Suffolk, with 13.26 inches measured at MacArthur Airport in Islip. Salt water and sediment from bay flooding call for different cleanup and disposal steps than a plumbing leak. Rain on top of a high tide can overwhelm storm drains and sump pumps in low-lying bayfront neighborhoods.
In practice, crews in Great River focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.
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.
Shut off the water if possible, avoid electrical hazards, and photograph the damage before anything is moved.
Response depends on crew availability and your exact location, so call for a current estimate for Great River.
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.
Prompt extraction and controlled drying can save many floors and walls. Porous materials soaked for days are harder to save.
Crews handle bay and surge flooding, which involves salt water and debris and usually needs more than drying alone.
