After the record August 2014 rainfall in Islip, basements that flooded and were not dried completely often developed mold. After flooding, materials that stay wet behind walls and under floors are the usual starting point for mold. Low-lying basements and ground-level enclosures hold moisture, and mold often appears on drywall, carpet, and stored belongings.
For East Islip property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
