The city sustained heavy damage during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and most properties are in high-risk flood zones with flood insurance requirements. Finding hidden moisture is key, since visible mold often represents only part of the problem. Materials that were submerged or soaked during a storm are the most common source of mold afterward. Humid coastal air slows drying, which gives mold a head start after water gets in.
In practice, crews in Long Beach combine inspection, containment, and removal with drying and moisture control to reduce repeat growth.
