Many Suffolk properties use cesspools or septic systems instead of sewers, so a backup can bring sewage, not just water, into a home. Homes in Islip Terrace were built over several decades of suburban growth, and the pipes, water heaters, and appliances installed with them are aging out. Aging fixtures, valves, and supply connections are a steady source of leaks in older suburban homes.
For Islip Terrace property owners, that means starting extraction and drying early and documenting the loss carefully for the claim.
