Sayville's position on the Great South Bay brings a high water table, low-lying streets south of Main Street and storms that push wind-driven rain inland. After the South Side Railroad arrived in 1868 the hamlet grew as a summer resort, and some Victorian-era homes still stand in the older sections. Most of the housing stock, though, is Capes, ranches and Colonials on modest lots, plus bayfront homes near the marinas. On flat, sandy ground close to the bay, rainwater has nowhere to go if leaders empty at the foundation, so basements and crawlspaces take on water. Getting roof runoff collected and carried away is especially important here.
Founded in 1761, Sayville is built around a busy Main Street that carries Montauk Highway through town, with Sunrise Highway along the north side and the LIRR Montauk Branch stopping at Sayville station. South of Main Street, Capes, ranches and Colonials give way to bayfront homes near the marinas, and ferries leave for Cherry Grove, Fire Island Pines and Sailors Haven across the Great South Bay, the shallow lagoon once famous for its clams and oysters. Meadow Croft, the former John Ellis Roosevelt estate, is part of the Sans Souci Lakes Nature Preserve, and the Sayville National Wildlife Refuge covers 127 acres. From the Victorian homes in the older sections to the bayfront houses by the marinas, we install and maintain seamless gutters throughout Sayville.
Hand-dug underground drainage is often the key service in Sayville, where flat, low bayside lots with a high water table need roof water carried away from foundations; digging by hand protects lawns, pavers and irrigation. We usually recommend 6" K-style or 6" half-round seamless gutters to handle nor'easter rain, and Alcoa aluminum holds up well near salt water. Gutter cleaning with a roof inspection is a smart routine after storm season.

Often, yes. When gutters overflow or leaders dump right at the foundation, water soaks the ground next to the house, and near the Great South Bay the water table is already high. We fix clogged or undersized gutters and can tie leaders into underground drainage that carries water to leach basins away from the house.
No. We dig underground drainage and leach basins by hand instead of using heavy equipment, which protects lawns, pavers, plantings and sprinkler lines. We have installed more than 1,000 of these systems on Long Island. During a free estimate we decide whether a basin or an extension tail makes more sense for your lot.
For homes that take wind-driven rain off the bay, we often suggest 6-inch seamless gutters, either K-style or half-round, along with larger leaders. Standard 5-inch K-style works for many smaller homes. Everything is fabricated on site from Alcoa aluminum as standard, with Galvalume and copper also available.
It depends on the trees around your house. Homes with mature maples and oaks usually need cleaning at least in late fall and again in spring. We offer maintenance programs and inspect the roof while cleaning, so storm damage gets caught early. Alcoa Leaf Relief guards can cut down how often cleanings are needed.
