Greenlawn (11740) sits along the Long Island Sound shore, with East Northport, Centerport and Northport nearby. Tropical Storm Isaias in August 2020 left more than 420,000 PSEG Long Island customers without power, and outages like that leave sump pumps idle.
Stone and block basements common on the North Shore allow more moisture through than newer construction. Storms that bring down trees and power lines also stop sump pumps, which is how many basements in the area end up flooded. Older plumbing in established neighborhoods, including galvanized and cast-iron lines, tends to fail at joints and fittings.
In practice, crews in Greenlawn focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.
