Crews serving East Islip (11730) also cover nearby Great River, Islip and Oakdale. Flooding from Hurricane Sandy in 2012 soaked bayfront homes along the Great South Bay, and wet materials left behind are a classic source of mold.
Flooded basements from the record August 2014 storm are a reminder of how quickly mold follows an incompletely dried loss. Lasting results depend on drying and correcting the source, since bay humidity can bring moisture back quickly. After flooding, materials that stay wet behind walls and under floors are the usual starting point for mold.
For East Islip property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
Nearby areas served include Great River, Islip and Oakdale. Crews also handle water damage in East Islip and fire and smoke damage in East Islip.
Crews locate the moisture source and assess the extent of growth with moisture meters and visual inspection.
Affected areas are sealed off to prevent spores from spreading during removal.
Contaminated material is removed and remaining surfaces are treated with antimicrobial solutions.
Crews eliminate the moisture source so the conditions that caused the mold don't return.
The process includes containing the area, removing contaminated materials, HEPA cleaning, and confirming the result.
