Located on Suffolk's North Shore in the Town of Brookhaven, Port Jefferson (11777) is a short drive from Port Jefferson Station, East Setauket and Mount Sinai. During Sandy, the National Weather Service reported 1 to 3 feet of water along parts of Broadway in Port Jefferson, and about 1 to 2 feet near the ferry terminal.
Many Suffolk properties use cesspools or septic systems instead of sewers, so a backup can bring sewage, not just water, into a home. Aging pipes in long-established Port Jefferson homes commonly fail at connections, often inside walls. Many older houses here have stone, block, or brick foundations that seep more than modern poured concrete after long wet spells.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Port Jefferson look in the right places first and avoid repeat problems.
