Located on the North Shore of Suffolk County in the Town of Smithtown, Saint James (11780) is a short drive from Stony Brook, Northport and East Setauket. Sandy pushed 2 to 4 feet of water into low-lying areas around Suffolk's North Shore harbors, according to the National Weather Service.
Erosion of the Sound-facing bluffs has threatened homes in parts of the North Shore, and storms can undermine foundations on the edge. Tidal flooding along the Sound shore reaches basements and first floors in the lowest parts of town. Storms that bring down trees and power lines also stop sump pumps, which is how many basements in the area end up flooded.
For Saint James property owners, that means starting extraction and drying early and documenting the loss carefully for the claim.
The same crews cover nearby Stony Brook, Northport and East Setauket. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Saint James and mold remediation in Saint James.
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.
Often, yes, when drying starts quickly and uses proper equipment. Materials that stayed wet too long may need replacement.
Shut off the water if possible, avoid electrical hazards, and photograph the damage before anything is moved.
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.
