Located in the South Shore area, Merrick (11566) is a short drive from Bellmore, Freeport and Wantagh. With flood-zone properties common, crews focus on clear records of the loss for carriers and flood-insurance claims.
Basements and low first floors can take on water quickly when heavy rain meets a high water table and stressed sump pumps. Low elevation and a high water table near the South Shore bays make Merrick more prone to flooding than inland areas. After the 2012 storm surge from Hurricane Sandy, many homeowners in areas like Merrick changed how they protect basements and first floors.
For Merrick property owners, that means starting extraction and drying early and documenting the loss carefully for the claim.
Nearby areas served include Bellmore, Freeport and Wantagh. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Merrick and mold remediation in Merrick.
Crews handle sewage backups with containment, removal, and sanitization of affected areas.
Drying continues until moisture readings return to acceptable levels, which varies with each job.
Shut off the water if possible, avoid electrical hazards, and photograph the damage before anything is moved.
That depends on the water source and the damage. Contaminated water or electrical hazards can make a home unsafe, and crews can advise after a quick assessment.
Trapped moisture inside walls and subfloors can lead to mold growth within a day or two, along with warped flooring and weakened materials.
