Mastic Beach (11951) is one of the communities on Suffolk's South Shore; neighboring areas include Mastic, Shirley and Moriches. During Hurricane Sandy, flooding in Mastic Beach reached as deep as 4 feet and stretched about 2,000 feet inland from Moriches Bay, according to the National Weather Service.
Suffolk County has roughly 380,000 cesspools and septic systems, according to the county health department, which makes sewage backups a recurring cause of water damage. Garages, lower enclosures, and mechanical equipment near the ground are the first to take on water, even in homes that were raised. Being near the bays means Mastic Beach deals with tidal and storm-driven water that communities farther inland rarely see.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Mastic Beach look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
Nearby areas served include Mastic, Shirley and Moriches. Crews also handle fire and smoke damage in Mastic Beach and mold remediation in Mastic Beach.
