Call 631-502-4509Located along Suffolk's South Shore in the Town of Islip, Brightwaters (11718) is a short drive from West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 brought record coastal flooding to the Great South Bay, with a surge of roughly 6 to 7 feet along the southwest Suffolk shore, according to the National Weather Service.
On August 13, 2014, 13.26 inches of rain fell at MacArthur Airport in Islip, a New York State 24-hour record that flooded parts of southwest Suffolk. Raised homes protect living areas, but lower-level enclosures and utility equipment remain exposed to flooding. Brightwaters sits close to the bays, where tidal flooding, high groundwater, and storm surge are part of life along the South Shore.

In Brightwaters, crews commonly see supply line failures, appliance leaks, sump pump problems, and storm-driven water.
