Brightwaters (11718) is in the Town of Islip, on Suffolk's South Shore, close to West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Homes that took on bay water during Sandy in 2012 often developed hidden mold where drywall and insulation stayed damp.
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. Humid air off the bays keeps moisture levels high, so mold can settle in fast after any leak or flood.
In practice, crews in Brightwaters combine inspection, containment, and removal with drying and moisture control to reduce repeat growth.
The same crews cover nearby West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Crews also handle water damage in Brightwaters and fire and smoke damage in Brightwaters.
