Crews handle bay and surge flooding, which involves salt water and debris and usually needs more than drying alone.
Prompt extraction and controlled drying can save many floors and walls. Porous materials soaked for days are harder to save.
Drying continues until moisture readings return to acceptable levels, which varies with each job.
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.
Burst or frozen supply lines, failed sump pumps, appliance and water heater leaks, roof leaks, and storm flooding are among the usual causes in Port Jefferson.
