Homeowners Insurance Claims in the Town of Islip
The Town of Islip runs from the Hauppauge and Ronkonkoma area in the middle of Long Island down to the Great South Bay and across to Fire Island communities like Ocean Beach and Saltaire. It includes the downtowns of Bay Shore and Sayville, large residential areas in Brentwood and Central Islip, and waterfront neighborhoods in West Islip, East Islip, Oakdale and Bayport.
Housing includes postwar capes and ranches, 1960s high-ranches, older bayfront homes in Bay Shore, Islip and Bayport, and seasonal homes on Fire Island. Many homes have finished basements and older oil or gas heating systems.
Local Risks That Shape Islip Claims
On August 13, 2014, Islip recorded more than 13 inches of rain in a single day, then a New York State record, and Superstorm Sandy flooded bayfront neighborhoods from West Islip to Bayport. Insurers respond to those conditions with predictable arguments: pre-existing damage, maintenance, surface water and low scopes of repair. Each can be answered with the right evidence.
