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.
After the record August 2014 rainfall in Islip, basements that flooded and were not dried completely often developed mold. Finding hidden moisture is what keeps mold from returning after removal. Humid air off the bays keeps moisture levels high, so mold can settle in fast after any leak or flood.
That is why acting early matters in West Islip: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
