West Sayville (11796), on Suffolk's South Shore, borders or sits near Sayville, Oakdale and Bayport. 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. Dehumidification and source correction matter especially close to the water. After flooding, materials that stay wet behind walls and under floors are the usual starting point for mold.
For West Sayville property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
