Eastport (11941), along Suffolk's South Shore, borders or sits near East Moriches, 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.
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. Water from the bay is not clean water, and sanitizing and removing affected materials is a bigger part of the job. Low elevation and a high water table near the bays make Eastport more prone to flooding than inland communities.
In practice, crews in Eastport focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.
Nearby areas served include East Moriches, Center Moriches and Moriches. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Eastport and mold remediation in Eastport.
