Massapequa (11758), in the South Shore area, borders or sits near Massapequa Park, Farmingdale and Wantagh. Storm surge from Hurricane Sandy reached Massapequa directly in 2012, and much of the area is mapped as a flood zone.
Flood exposure combines with aging post-war plumbing in many Massapequa homes, which raises the stakes for any leak or flood. Because many properties were repaired or raised after flooding, older and newer systems often sit side by side. After the fire is out, water used to put it out frequently causes more damage than the flames, so drying and smoke cleaning go together. Puff-backs from aging heating systems are a recurring cause of soot damage in coastal homes.
Knowing these local conditions helps crews in Massapequa plan cleaning and protect what can be saved.
