Located in western Suffolk in the Towns of Islip and Smithtown, Hauppauge (11788) is a short drive from Ronkonkoma, Islandia and Holbrook. 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.
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. In Hauppauge, a basement that depends on a sump pump can flood fast when the pump quits or the power goes out in a storm. Because Hauppauge filled in with suburban housing over many years, supply lines and water heaters of very different ages sit side by side from one block to the next.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Hauppauge look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.

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.
Shut off the water if possible, avoid electrical hazards, and photograph the damage before anything is moved.
Moisture left in walls and under floors encourages mold and can warp flooring and swell framing, so complete drying matters.
