Call 631-710-6526Oakdale (11769) sits along Suffolk's South Shore, with West Sayville, Great River and Sayville nearby. 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.
Flooded basements from the record August 2014 storm are a reminder of how quickly mold follows an incompletely dried loss. Flooded homes that were not dried quickly and completely often develop mold inside wall cavities. Controlling humidity after remediation is a standard step for waterfront homes.
That is why acting early matters in Oakdale: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
