Bay Shore (11706) sits on Suffolk's South Shore, with Brightwaters, Babylon and West Islip nearby. 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.
Flooded basements from the record August 2014 storm are a reminder of how quickly mold follows an incompletely dried loss. Controlling humidity after remediation is a standard step for waterfront homes. After flooding, materials that stay wet behind walls and under floors are the usual starting point for mold.
For Bay Shore property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
Crews also serve nearby Brightwaters, Babylon and West Islip. Crews also handle water damage in Bay Shore and fire and smoke damage in Bay Shore.
