Cedarhurst (11516) is one of the communities on the South Shore; neighboring areas include Lawrence, Woodmere and Hewlett. Puff-backs from aging heating systems are a recurring cause of soot damage in coastal homes.
Rebuilding after storms left many Cedarhurst homes with new sections joined to older ones, and mixed wiring ages are a fire consideration. Securing a damaged home quickly protects it from the wind and moisture that come off the bay. Coastal humidity and salt in the air wear down electrical connections, a factor in some fires near the water.
For Cedarhurst property owners, that means securing the property, cleaning soot and smoke residue thoroughly, and documenting everything for insurance.
Nearby areas served include Lawrence, Woodmere and Hewlett. Crews also handle water damage in Cedarhurst and mold remediation in Cedarhurst.
