Oakdale (11769) is one of the communities on the south side of Suffolk County; neighboring areas include West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. 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.
On August 13, 2014, 13.26 inches of rain fell at MacArthur Airport in Islip, a New York State 24-hour record that flooded parts of southwest Suffolk. Water from the bay is not clean water, and sanitizing and removing affected materials is a bigger part of the job. Being near the bays means Oakdale deals with tidal and storm-driven water that communities farther inland rarely see.
In practice, crews in Oakdale focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.
The same crews cover nearby West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Oakdale and mold remediation in Oakdale.
Most policies cover sudden, accidental water damage such as burst pipes or appliance failures, while gradual leaks and flood coverage depend on the policy. Crews document the loss and can work directly with your carrier.
Crews handle bay and surge flooding, which involves salt water and debris and usually needs more than drying alone.
Crews handle sewage backups with containment, removal, and sanitization of affected areas.
Safety depends on contamination and electrical conditions. Crews assess the situation and advise on whether to stay.
Sewage from a failed cesspool or septic system needs containment and sanitizing, not just drying. Many policies treat backups separately, so check what yours covers.
