Freeport (11520) is one of the communities on the South Shore; neighboring areas include Baldwin, Merrick and Roosevelt. Freeport was among the hardest-hit South Shore communities during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, when storm surge flooded a large number of homes.
Flooding history in Freeport means many owners are already familiar with flood claims, documentation, and the importance of fast drying. With flood-zone properties common, crews focus on clear records of the loss for carriers and flood-insurance claims.
