Quick answer
Restoration work in Nassau County, NY centers on postwar houses with full basements and oil heat: basement flooding in storms and oil burner puffbacks in winter. Nassau's heating ordinance runs from October 1 through May 31, the season puffbacks happen. We clean soot, pump out basements and rebuild, answering 24/7.
What restoration looks like in Nassau
Nassau is mostly single-family houses, a lot of them built in the postwar decades, with basements, oil or gas heat and additions stacked on over the years. The work follows that: basements that take water in heavy rain, burners that puff soot through the house, and roofs and windows opened by storms.
The South Shore adds tidal and surge flooding along the canals and barrier beaches, while the North Shore's older, larger houses bring plaster, hardwood and finished attics into the job.
Postwar houses, oil heat and the South Shore
Much of Nassau's housing, in places like Levittown, Baldwin and Bellmore, went up in the postwar decades with basements and oil burners. Roughly a third of Long Island households still heat with fuel oil, and the county's heating ordinance runs from October 1 through May 31, which is exactly when puffback calls come in.
On the South Shore, Sandy brought heavy flooding and dune erosion to Long Beach. Houses along the water there get rebuilt with flood lines and salt in mind.
