Located on Suffolk's North Shore in the Town of Smithtown, Saint James (11780) is a short drive from Stony Brook, Northport and East Setauket. North Shore harbors flooded during Hurricane Sandy, with low-lying shoreline areas seeing 2 to 4 feet of water.
Erosion of the Sound-facing bluffs has threatened homes in parts of the North Shore, and storms can undermine foundations on the edge.

Drying time varies with the extent of water, the materials, and conditions, and it is monitored until moisture readings reach normal levels.
Burst or frozen supply lines, failed sump pumps, appliance and water heater leaks, roof leaks, and storm flooding are among the usual causes in Saint James.
