Call 631-538-4433Brightwaters (11718) is one of the communities along Suffolk's South Shore; neighboring areas include West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. 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. Persistent dampness in garages and lower enclosures near the water table is a frequent source of mold. Coastal humidity in Brightwaters means damp materials dry slowly, and mold takes advantage of that window.
For Brightwaters property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
Crews also serve nearby West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Crews also handle water damage in Brightwaters and fire and smoke damage in Brightwaters.
