Located on the south side of Suffolk County in the Town of Islip, East Islip (11730) is a short drive from Great River, Islip and Oakdale. 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. Damp bay air slows natural drying, which gives mold more time to establish after water gets in. Lasting results depend on drying and correcting the source, since bay humidity can bring moisture back quickly.
For East Islip property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
