Hauppauge (11788) is in the Towns of Islip and Smithtown, in western Suffolk, close to Ronkonkoma, Islandia and Holbrook. Record rainfall on August 13, 2014 flooded roads and basements across southwest Suffolk, with 13.26 inches measured at MacArthur Airport in Islip.
Tropical Storm Isaias in August 2020 left more than 420,000 PSEG Long Island customers without power, and outages like that leave sump pumps idle. Much of the housing in Hauppauge dates from the post-war and later suburban building waves, so original plumbing, water heaters, and sump pumps are now reaching the end of their service lives. Housing and business districts sit close together here, so crews handle water losses in homes, shops, and small commercial buildings.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Hauppauge look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
The same crews cover nearby Ronkonkoma, Islandia and Holbrook. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Hauppauge and mold remediation in Hauppauge.
