Quick answer
Staten Island's South Shore takes some of the city's heaviest rain: Ida put nearly nine inches on parts of the island. Most homes here are newer houses with finished basements, so storms mean carpet, drywall and insulation to remove and dry. We pump out, dry and rebuild, answering 24/7.
What restoration looks like on the South Shore
Great Kills, Eltingville, Annadale, Huguenot and Tottenville are mostly owner-occupied single-family homes, many built in recent decades with finished basements, attached garages and decks. Heavy rain, storm surge near the shoreline and burst pipes all end up in those basements.
Newer construction dries faster than prewar plaster, but finished basements hold more to remove when floodwater is involved.
Ida's rain and newer houses
Ida put nearly nine inches of rain on parts of Staten Island, among the heaviest totals in the city. Staten Island is the only borough where most housing units were built after 1960, which means more finished basements, carpet and drywall in the path of the water.
Close to the shoreline, storm surge adds another way in, so we handle any water from outside as contaminated.
