East Moriches (11940), on Suffolk's South Shore, borders or sits near Eastport, Center Moriches and Moriches. The National Weather Service recorded record flooding along the Great South Bay during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, with surge of roughly 6 to 7 feet on the southwest Suffolk shore.
When Isaias cut power to more than 420,000 customers in 2020, basements that depend on sump pumps lost their protection. Low elevation and a high water table near the bays make East Moriches more prone to flooding than inland communities. Water from the bay is not clean water, and sanitizing and removing affected materials is a bigger part of the job.
For East Moriches property owners, that means starting extraction and drying early and documenting the loss carefully for the claim.
Nearby areas served include Eastport, Center Moriches and Moriches. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in East Moriches and mold remediation in East Moriches.
