Montauk (11954), on Long Island's East End, borders or sits near Amagansett, East Hampton and Wainscott. During Hurricane Sandy, ocean water breached dunes in downtown Montauk.
Second homes are a defining feature of the East End, and leaks in closed-up houses often run unnoticed. In a community with many seasonal residents, water damage is often discovered late, after a leak has had time to spread. Reopening a closed-up house in spring is a common moment for a hidden supply-line failure to show itself.
For Montauk property owners, that means starting extraction and drying early and documenting the loss carefully for the claim.
