Power loss after a major storm stops dehumidifiers and sump pumps, and mold can follow within days. After flooding, materials that stay wet behind walls and under floors are the usual starting point for mold.

For Babylon property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
The same crews cover nearby Bay Shore, Lindenhurst and Brightwaters. Crews also handle water damage in Babylon and fire and smoke damage in Babylon.
