Oakdale (11769) sits on the south side of Suffolk County, with West Sayville, Great River and Sayville nearby. 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. Many waterfront properties fall in mapped flood zones, so documentation for flood claims matters as much as the drying itself.
In practice, crews in Oakdale focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.
Crews also serve nearby West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Oakdale and mold remediation in Oakdale.
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.
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.
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.
Burst or frozen supply lines, failed sump pumps, appliance and water heater leaks, roof leaks, and storm flooding are among the usual causes in Oakdale.
