Call 631-710-6526Great River is in the Town of Islip, on the south side of Suffolk County, close to Oakdale, East Islip and West Sayville. After the record Great South Bay flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, mold from materials that stayed wet became a lasting problem for bayfront homes.
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. Coastal humidity in Great River means damp materials dry slowly, and mold takes advantage of that window.
For Great River property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
The same crews cover nearby Oakdale, East Islip and West Sayville. Crews also handle water damage in Great River and fire and smoke damage in Great River.
Very small surface spots can sometimes be handled at home, but larger or hidden growth needs containment and proper removal so spores do not spread.
Moisture mapping and targeted testing help locate mold that isn't visible.
Yes, if materials stay wet. Drywall, insulation, and flooring that were soaked can grow mold within days unless they are dried or removed.
Often yes for contained jobs, but larger projects may call for staying elsewhere temporarily. Crews will say what makes sense once the scope is clear.
Recurrence is tied to moisture. When the source is fixed and humidity is controlled, mold is much less likely to return.
