Bay water in the street or a limb through the roof? The Town of Oyster Bay runs from the Sound to the Great South Bay, and we work both shores.
- Answering 24/7

- Storm and tree damage
Quick answer
Restoration in Oyster Bay, NY often follows the water: during Sandy nearly everything south of Merrick Road in Massapequa was devastated, and winds over 80 mph uprooted almost 1,000 trees across the town. We pump out, dry, clean and rebuild after tidal flooding, storms and everyday leaks, answering 24/7.
What restoration looks like in the Town of Oyster Bay
The town stretches across Nassau from the North Shore harbors to the South Shore bays, so the work changes with the shoreline. In the south, around the Massapequas, tidal flooding and surge bring bay water into low streets and ground floors. In the middle and north, it's storms, fallen trees, basements and the usual house leaks.
Many houses are postwar, with basements, oil or gas heat and finished lower levels, which means puffbacks and basement flooding are familiar calls here as well.
Sandy, the bays and Massapequa
During Sandy, winds topping 80 mph uprooted almost 1,000 trees across the Town of Oyster Bay, and in Massapequa nearly everything south of Merrick Road was devastated. Since then the town has finished a flood diversion and drainage project of upwards of $12 million on low-lying roads in southern Massapequa.
Drainage helps, but tidal flooding still reaches ground floors in the lowest streets. Those jobs are handled as contaminated water, with saltwater checks on wiring and fasteners.
