Call 631-239-7110Brentwood (11717), in West Suffolk, borders or sits near Central Islip, Wyandanch and Islip Terrace. After the record August 2014 rainfall in Islip, basements that flooded and were not dried completely often developed mold.
Power loss after a major storm stops dehumidifiers and sump pumps, and mold can follow within days. Finished basements built over original slabs can hide moisture behind paneling and carpet for a long time before growth becomes visible. Moisture from showers settles into ceilings and walls when exhaust fans are missing or vent into the attic.
For Brentwood property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
Nearby areas served include Central Islip, Wyandanch and Islip Terrace. Crews also handle water damage in Brentwood and fire and smoke damage in Brentwood.
Mold needs moisture, so leaks, flooding, condensation, and poor ventilation are the usual causes. Basements, attics, and bathrooms are common spots.
Moisture mapping and targeted testing help locate mold that isn't visible.
Coverage depends on the cause. Mold resulting from a covered sudden water loss is more likely to be covered, while long-term neglect usually is not. Crews provide documentation for the claim.
Often yes for contained jobs, but larger projects may call for staying elsewhere temporarily. Crews will say what makes sense once the scope is clear.
Timelines depend on the size and location of the growth. A specific estimate follows the assessment.
