A storm drove rain under our flat roof and the hallway ceiling was coming down. They tarped it, dried the attic and ceiling, and documented everything for the claim. Real local people who actually pick up the phone.

What South Shore neighbors say
Sewage backed up into the downstairs bath and I would not go near it. The restoration team contained it, took out what could not be saved, disinfected, and cleared the smell completely. Professional from the first call.
Marisol T.
A washer hose burst and soaked the laundry room and hallway. They were out the same day, extracted the water, and saved the hardwood by drying it fast. Fair and straight with me about the whole process.

Bay Shore sits right on the Great South Bay, and that is a gift most days and a hazard during a storm. A nor'easter or a tropical system can push bay water and storm surge into low-lying streets and basements fast, the way the South Shore saw during Superstorm Sandy. When it happens, our restoration teams move quickly to get the water out and your home dry before the damage sets in.
Why coastal flooding is different
Bay and storm water is not clean. It carries silt, fuel, lawn chemicals, and whatever it crossed on the way in, so it is treated as contaminated Category 3 water from the first minute.
- Surge and tidal flooding hit basements and ground floors near the water first
- Contaminated water means soaked drywall, insulation, and carpet usually come out, not just dry
- Salt and silt keep pulling moisture back in, so drying has to be verified with meters, not guessed
Our storm and flood cleanup steps
Speed and safety drive the order our crews work:
- Pump and extract the standing flood water with truck-mount equipment
- Remove unsalvageable, contaminated materials and haul them out
- Clean and disinfect every surface the flood touched
- Run air movers and dehumidifiers and dry to a verified standard
If the surge filled a lower level, our basement flooding cleanup and fast water extraction work together to keep the loss from spreading upstairs.
Bay water in your home after a storm? Do not wade in. Call and a South Shore crew heads your way, about 45 minutes out.
☎ Call (631) 239-3879Stay safe until we arrive
Flood water and electricity are a deadly mix, and moving water is stronger than it looks. The National Weather Service and Ready.gov both stress staying out of flooded rooms until the power is off, and you can track surge and warnings for our area at weather.gov. Once it is safe, our crews handle the rest to IICRC standards.
Photograph everything first
Before anything is moved, take photos and video of the water line and the damage. It makes your flood claim far smoother, and we add our own documentation and moisture readings on top of yours.
A nor'easter put bay water through our whole ground floor overnight. They pumped it out, tore out the ruined drywall, disinfected, and dried it right. They treated our home like it was theirs.

Answers
Storm & Coastal Flood Cleanup questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A local South Shore crew is standing by 24/7.
(631) 239-3879 Call nowIs Great South Bay flood water dangerous to touch?
Yes. Storm surge and bay flooding carry silt, fuel, sewage, and chemicals, so it is treated as contaminated Category 3 water. Stay out of it, keep children and pets away, and let a protected crew handle the removal.
Does homeowners insurance cover coastal flooding?
Standard homeowners policies usually exclude rising flood water, which is covered by separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. We document the loss for whichever policy applies and work with your adjuster.
How soon should flood cleanup start after a storm?
As fast as it is safe. Contaminated water and warm South Shore air let problems grow within a day or two, so the sooner we extract and disinfect, the more of your home we can save.
What gets thrown out after a bay flood?
Porous materials that soaked up contaminated water, such as carpet, pad, insulation, and the lower part of drywall, usually come out. Hard surfaces and framing are cleaned, disinfected, and dried in place when possible.
Can you help with the flood insurance paperwork?
We provide detailed photos, a scope of the damage, and moisture readings that support your claim. Flood claims have their own rules, and our documentation gives your adjuster exactly what they need.
Do you clean up after tropical storms and hurricanes too?
Yes. Nor'easters, tropical storms, and hurricanes are the storms that flood the South Shore hardest. We stage for them and respond around the clock once conditions allow.
