Call 631-538-4433Saint James (11780) is in the Town of Smithtown, on the North Shore of Suffolk County, close to Stony Brook, Northport and East Setauket. Humidity off Long Island Sound and shaded, tree-covered lots keep homes damp, which favors mold.
Seepage through older foundation walls is a quiet, steady source of moisture for mold. After a storm or roof leak, insulation and framing can stay wet long after the surface looks dry. Attics and crawlspaces in older houses are often poorly ventilated, which lets warm, moist air condense and support growth.
For Saint James property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
