The following are some of the common causes of water damage in Suffolk County.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks are the most common (and the most obvious) causes of water damage. However, while they may be an obvious cause, unless it’s under a sink, plumbing problems can be difficult to detect. Most of the pipes and hoses are hidden from view, as they’re buried inside the walls. As such, you likely won’t know there’s a leak until you spot the signs of water damage.

Pipe Bursts

Another common cause of water damage in homes are leaks that occur as a result of pipes that burst in cold temperatures. In Suffolk County, temperatures often dip below freezing during the winter. Plumbing pipes that run along or inside exterior walls have little to no insulation, so when the temperature dips, they’re at risk of freezing, and when that happens, there’s a chance that the pipes will burst.

Water Heater Issues

Water heaters are another common culprit of water damage. Age, constant use, and poor installation are just some of the factors that can contribute to water heater issues. If the tank corrodes or a component breaks, there’s a very real chance that the contents will pour out, resulting in a flood that can cause serious water damage in your Suffolk County home. Having your water heater inspected by a professional and paying attention to its condition can help to offset the risk of danger.

Severe Weather

Severe weather isn’t uncommon in Suffolk County. Heavy, wind-swept rains, nor’easters, blizzards, and ice storms can result in roof leaks, septic tank overflow, and overtaxed gutters. Making sure your roof is in good condition, that your septic tank is well-maintained, and that your gutters are clear and in good shape can help to reduce the risk of weather-related water damage.

Some information about Brookhaven, NY

The Town of Brookhaven is the most populous of the ten towns of Suffolk County, New York, United States. Part of the New York metropolitan area, it is located approximately 50 miles from Manhattan. It is the only town in the county that stretches from the north shore to the south shore of Long Island. It is the largest of New York State’s 932 towns by area, and the second most populous after the Town of Hempstead.

The first known inhabitants were Algonquian-speaking Native Americans, of the Setauket and Unkechaug tribes. The first English settlers arrived around 1640. The latter founding year was recognized in 1976, when the Brookhaven Town Bicentennial Commission proposed setting the date on the seal to 1655 in line with this first deed of settlement of the town of Brookhaven at Setauket on April 14, 1655. Considering this founding year of 1655, Brookhaven is the fifth English township on Long Island following Southampton, Southold, Huntington, and East Hampton.

The Caroline Church in Setauket, was built in 1729 and is the oldest extant church in Brookhaven

The first English settlement was named ‘Setauket’ after the Native American tribe. The names ‘Brookhaven’ and ‘Setauket’ were initially used interchangeably to describe the village or the town. The verbal division between the smaller hamlet of Setauket and township of Brookhaven was not set until well into the 19th century. A point of confusion is the existence of the hamlet named Brookhaven, which was in fact named for the township in 1879. Other names used in the settlement’s first decades were ‘Ashford’, after Ashford, Kent, in England, and ‘Cromwell Bay’, for English Protestant leader Oliver Cromwell.

The original purchase from the native Setalcott tribe that took place in 1655 encompassed the land making up present-day Setauket, Stony Brook, and Port Jefferson. A second purchase was made by Richard Woodhull in 1664 expanded this tract eastward along the North Shore to additionally include all lands from the Old Mans area (Mount Sinai and Miller Place) to Wading River. Richard Woodhull was the direct heir of Eustace de Vesci, a British noble who was a signator of the Magna Charta. Another land purchase in the same year expanded Brookhaven to the South Shore of Long Island.
