Call 631-710-6526Brightwaters (11718) is one of the communities on Suffolk's South Shore; neighboring areas include 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. Lasting results depend on drying and correcting the source, since bay humidity can bring moisture back quickly. Damp bay air slows natural drying, which gives mold more time to establish after water gets in.
That is why acting early matters in Brightwaters: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
The same crews cover nearby West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Crews also handle water damage in Brightwaters and fire and smoke damage in Brightwaters.
