Brightwaters (11718) is one of the communities on the south side of Suffolk County; neighboring areas include West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. 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.
Flooded basements from the record August 2014 storm are a reminder of how quickly mold follows an incompletely dried loss. Low-lying basements and ground-level enclosures hold moisture, and mold often appears on drywall, carpet, and stored belongings. Flooded homes that were not dried quickly and completely often develop mold inside wall cavities.
For Brightwaters property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
Crews also serve nearby West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Crews also handle water damage in Brightwaters and fire and smoke damage in Brightwaters.

Assessment is typically scheduled promptly, and faster when mold is tied to an active water problem. Call for the current estimate for Brightwaters.
