Ronkonkoma (11779) sits in West Suffolk, with Holbrook, Hauppauge and Holtsville nearby. Record rainfall on August 13, 2014 flooded roads and basements across southwest Suffolk, with 13.26 inches measured at MacArthur Airport in Islip.
Many Suffolk properties use cesspools or septic systems instead of sewers, so a backup can bring sewage, not just water, into a home. Because Ronkonkoma filled in with suburban housing over many years, supply lines and water heaters of very different ages sit side by side from one block to the next. Behind finished basement walls, slow leaks from water heaters and washing machine lines can go unseen for weeks.
In practice, crews in Ronkonkoma focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.
The same crews cover nearby Holbrook, Hauppauge and Holtsville. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Ronkonkoma and mold remediation in Ronkonkoma.
