Located along Suffolk's South Shore in the Town of Islip, Brightwaters (11718) is a short drive from West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. 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. Dehumidification and source correction matter especially close to the water. Mold in flood-prone areas frequently starts in materials that were wet once and never fully dried.
That is why acting early matters in Brightwaters: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
Nearby areas served include West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Crews also handle water damage in Brightwaters and fire and smoke damage in Brightwaters.
