Located on the south side of Suffolk County in the Town of Brookhaven, Patchogue (11772) is a short drive from Bellport, Blue Point and Brookhaven. 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.
Extended outages after storms such as Isaias in 2020 leave basements without dehumidification, which gives mold an opening. Lasting results depend on drying and correcting the source, since bay humidity can bring moisture back quickly. Humid air off the bays keeps moisture levels high, so mold can settle in fast after any leak or flood.
For Patchogue property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
The same crews cover nearby Bellport, Blue Point and Brookhaven. Crews also handle water damage in Patchogue and fire and smoke damage in Patchogue.

Mold can aggravate allergies and respiratory conditions, so prompt, contained removal is recommended.
