Islip (11751) sits on the south side of Suffolk County, with East Islip, West Islip and Great River nearby. 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.
After the record August 2014 rainfall in Islip, basements that flooded and were not dried completely often developed mold. Ground-level spaces near the bays stay damp for long stretches, which supports growth on framing and stored items. After flooding, materials that stay wet behind walls and under floors are the usual starting point for mold.
For Islip property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
