Located in West Suffolk in the Town of Islip, Islandia (11749) is a short drive from Hauppauge, Bohemia and Ronkonkoma. Record rainfall on August 13, 2014 flooded roads and basements across southwest Suffolk, with 13.26 inches measured at MacArthur Airport in Islip.
Across Suffolk County, an estimated 380,000 homes and buildings rely on cesspools or septic systems, so sewage backups and failed systems are a distinct source of water damage here. Behind finished basement walls, slow leaks from water heaters and washing machine lines can go unseen for weeks. Homes, storefronts, and light-commercial buildings are all part of the mix in Islandia, and each dries differently.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Islandia look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
The same crews cover nearby Hauppauge, Bohemia and Ronkonkoma. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Islandia and mold remediation in Islandia.
That depends on the water source and the damage. Contaminated water or electrical hazards can make a home unsafe, and crews can advise after a quick assessment.
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.
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.
