Located on Suffolk's South Shore in the Town of Islip, West Islip (11795) is a short drive from 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.
Flooded basements from the record August 2014 storm are a reminder of how quickly mold follows an incompletely dried loss. Flooded homes that were not dried quickly and completely often develop mold inside wall cavities. Finding hidden moisture is what keeps mold from returning after removal.
In practice, crews in West Islip combine inspection, containment, and removal with drying and moisture control to reduce repeat growth.
Crews also serve nearby Islip, Brightwaters and East Islip. Crews also handle water damage in West Islip and fire and smoke damage in West Islip.

Yes, if materials stay wet. Drywall, insulation, and flooring that were soaked can grow mold within days unless they are dried or removed.
