About Springs
Springs is the largest year-round community in the Town of East Hampton, on the shores of Accabonac and Three Mile Harbors, and home to the Pollock-Krasner House. Springs sits on the South Fork, in the Hamptons; its shoreline faces Accabonac Harbor, Three Mile Harbor and Gardiners Bay. Springs is a hamlet (a Census-designated place) governed directly by the Town of East Hampton in Suffolk County. By Census Bureau measurements, the hamlet covers about 8.48 square miles of land plus 3.69 square miles of water.
Its neighbors include Amagansett, East Hampton North and Northwest Harbor.
How Local Conditions Affect Springs Claims
Homes near Accabonac Harbor, Three Mile Harbor and Gardiners Bay face storm surge during nor'easters and tropical storms. The wind-versus-water question decides which policy pays, which deductible applies (many Long Island policies carry a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible), and how much the homeowner recovers.
Second homes and seasonal rentals are common out east. Policies on those homes may limit coverage when a house is vacant or unoccupied for long stretches, or require that heat be maintained in winter, and those clauses come up quickly after a freeze-up or a break-in.
Mature trees are part of the character of Springs, and they are also a leading cause of roof and structural damage when summer storms or nor'easters roll through. Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020 brought down trees and power lines across Long Island, and claims for that kind of damage often run into debris-removal and tree-removal limits.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Springs home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
Housing and Claims in Springs
Because Springs mixes single-family homes with two-family houses and condominiums, a loss can involve more than one policy at once: a homeowners or HO-6 policy, a dwelling policy on a rented unit, or a building's master policy.
