West Islip (11795), along Suffolk's South Shore, borders or sits near 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. Low-lying basements and ground-level enclosures hold moisture, and mold often appears on drywall, carpet, and stored belongings.
