Located along Suffolk's South Shore in the Town of Brookhaven, Shirley (11967) is a short drive from Mastic Beach, Brookhaven and Mastic. Homes that took on bay water during Sandy in 2012 often developed hidden mold where drywall and insulation stayed damp.
Outages that last days let damp basements stay damp, which favors mold. Finding hidden moisture is what keeps mold from returning after removal. Mold in flood-prone areas frequently starts in materials that were wet once and never fully dried.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Shirley check the likely hiding spots, not just the visible staining.
The same crews cover nearby Mastic Beach, Brookhaven and Mastic. Crews also handle water damage in Shirley and fire and smoke damage in Shirley.
