Located on Suffolk's South Shore in the Town of Islip, West Islip (11795) is a short drive from Islip, Brightwaters and East 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.
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. Persistent dampness in garages and lower enclosures near the water table is a frequent source of mold.
For West Islip property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
The same crews cover nearby Islip, Brightwaters and East Islip. Crews also handle water damage in West Islip and fire and smoke damage in West Islip.
Duration depends on the size and location of the growth, and crews give a clearer estimate after inspection.
Often yes for contained jobs, but larger projects may call for staying elsewhere temporarily. Crews will say what makes sense once the scope is clear.
Mold can aggravate allergies and respiratory conditions, so prompt, contained removal is recommended.
Yes, if materials stay wet. Drywall, insulation, and flooring that were soaked can grow mold within days unless they are dried or removed.
Typical steps are inspection, containment, air filtration, removal of affected materials, cleaning and treatment, and verification that the area is clear.
