Located in western Suffolk in the Town of Islip, Brentwood (11717) is a short drive from Central Islip, Wyandanch and Islip Terrace. Mold after the August 2014 flood became common where basements stayed damp.
Moisture from showers settles into ceilings and walls when exhaust fans are missing or vent into the attic.

That is why acting early matters in Brentwood: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
