Brookhaven (11719) is one of the communities on Suffolk's South Shore; neighboring areas include Shirley, Bellport and Mastic Beach. 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.
Outages that last days let damp basements stay damp, which favors mold. Flooded homes that were not dried quickly and completely often develop mold inside wall cavities. Moisture mapping separates surface mold from growth inside walls, which shapes the remediation plan.
That is why acting early matters in Brookhaven: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
