Call 631-502-4509Oakdale (11769), on Suffolk's South Shore, borders or sits near West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. Flooding from Hurricane Sandy in 2012 soaked bayfront homes along the Great South Bay, and wet materials left behind are a classic source of mold.
After the record August 2014 rainfall in Islip, basements that flooded and were not dried completely often developed mold. Persistent dampness in garages and lower enclosures near the water table is a frequent source of mold. Coastal humidity in Oakdale means damp materials dry slowly, and mold takes advantage of that window.
That is why acting early matters in Oakdale: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
