Mastic (11950) is one of the communities along Suffolk's South Shore; neighboring areas include Moriches, Mastic Beach and Center Moriches. Homes that took on bay water during Sandy in 2012 often developed hidden mold where drywall and insulation stayed damp.
Power loss after a major storm stops dehumidifiers and sump pumps, and mold can follow within days. Finding hidden moisture is what keeps mold from returning after removal. Persistent dampness in garages and lower enclosures near the water table is a frequent source of mold.
