Crews serving Shirley (11967) also cover nearby Mastic Beach, Brookhaven and Mastic. The National Weather Service recorded record flooding along the Great South Bay during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, with surge of roughly 6 to 7 feet on the southwest Suffolk shore.
Storm outages, like the one Isaias caused in August 2020, are a common reason sump pumps fail when they are needed most. Bay flooding is salt water carrying silt and debris, so cleanup goes well beyond the drying used for a clean-water pipe break. Low elevation and a high water table near the bays make Shirley more prone to flooding than inland communities.
That is why a quick call matters in Shirley: the sooner drying starts, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
