Call 631-502-4509West Islip (11795) is one of the communities on the south side of Suffolk County; neighboring areas include Islip, Brightwaters and East Islip. After the record Great South Bay flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, mold from materials that stayed wet became a lasting problem for bayfront homes.
Mold after the August 2014 flood became common where basements stayed damp. Flooded homes that were not dried quickly and completely often develop mold inside wall cavities. Ground-level spaces near the bays stay damp for long stretches, which supports growth on framing and stored items.
For West Islip property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
